Dewey's Library

My guinea pig, Dewey, has been tearing through a lot of books lately. Literally. Or maybe, literarily. His cage is the typical mesh kind, with a door in the center, and I always leave this door open. Guinea pigs, unlike hamsters and other rodents, aren't very curious about new places (much like me), and tend to stay in the cage. When one of us walks by, he'll come to the opening and lean out, looking for a scratch and a snack (though not in that order, I'm sure). Last week, I got the idea to stack some books outside the cage, under the door, so that it lies straight out, like a diving board. Dewey treats this like a porch, and from time to time he leaves the cage and hangs out there. I noticed he was trying to nibble through the wire at the top book, so I made sure it was one I didn't care about.

He is currently chewing his way through Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. He is halfway through chapter three right now, and reports that it is hard to put down.
