In Memoriam

Dear Patches, beloved guinea pig, passed away on February 4th after leading a full life of exploring in the bushes and munching on alfalfa.  These are a few pictures from one of his many forays into the wilderness - his bravery and sense of adventure was enviable, and his companionship will be sorely  missed.
