I got Butler in June of 2000 when I decided to stay at home and go to college as opposed to staying in the dorm.  In fact, that was the very basis of my arguement to get a guinea pig.  I had explained to my father that I would be saving him nearly 1500$ a semester and that because of that, I deserved to have a companion in my room.  He bought it, and I purchased my beautiful Butler.  She's a lovely short-haired brown and black female, who loooooves lettuce.  I tried a new fruit every night when I first got her, but I have yet to find something that she likes better than lettuce.  She's so funny, whenever she hears plastic rattling or a can of food shaking she'll begin squeling and her little ears will flap up and down like she's trying to fly.
