I’m the human of a cat named Piccolo, because when he was a kitten, he meowed like a little flute.

    We have two guinea pigs.

    Very often, guinea pigs are named after food. Our two rescues came with food names. However, everything eats guinea pigs and I feel it’s wrong to name them after food. We changed their names.

    We named them after two characters from Downton Abbey: Daisy and Rose. Plants are the only living things that fear guinea pigs, so they are nice, powerful names for them.

      Our cat Sybil was also named after Downton Abbey! If you’ve ever seen the show Keeping Up Appearances, two of the sisters are named Daisy and Rose as well.
