The Guinea Pig on a Leash

On a walk this morning we saw the man walking his guinea pig again!  The guinea pig is mostly white with some light brown patches and one big black patch that runs around the back of his head.  It looks like a helmet.  My first impression was that this was a "special" guinea pig.

Kelli asked the owner for the pet's name.  "Kuro" he said.  As soon as we got home Kelli looked it up on the dictionary.  One meaning is "black hat."

Sometimes you see the strangest things in life.  Who knew that a guinea pig named Black Hat would be such a source of amusement.

  1. The place I have been in Ecuador they call guinea pig "lunch" and I must admit they don't taste too bad.

  2. Next time I see the guy walking I don't think I should tell him that in Ecuador they would call Kuro "hirugohan."

    I've never had guinea pig (yet). I had possum once in New Zealand. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.
