Ben and his guinea pigs

A few months back a colleague of mine gave me two (thankfully) incredibly calm and long suffering guinea pigs. These lived in my classroom and tolerated my students poking and prodding them, along with visits from Ben every weekend.
He was in love with them and would get out of the car shouting "geee piiiiiis!"

My replacement science teacher is allergic to them so they moved in with us. Ben is SO thrilled!

Here he is hanging out with them while I clean out their cage.
