We've got two guinea pigs, and in my opinion, they aren't that hard to keep alive.

My daughter's guinea pig just died, but he was an older fellow. He went with her to college and got her all the way through to a few months past graduation.

As George Carlin said, "You're supposed to know it in the pet shop. It's going to end badly. You're purchasing a small tragedy."
