BEANO THE ONE-EYED GUINEA PIG

Fluffington Van Chockstraw is leading a life of leisure in the Williams household. Maddy’s new guinea pig –actual name “Fluffy” -- is the object of her constant faith and abiding love:

Some family friends went through the same thing with a little daughter and a fat guinea pig some years ago. For some reason, the furry rodent got named “Beano,” after the gassy gut medicine. There’s a tender thought for you! Then something happened, and his eye popped out. He swiftly became “Beano the One-Eyed Guinea Pig.”

He became their family’s favorite pet. Not because he had any personality – but because his name did.
