Guinea Pigs Don’t Bounce Guinea Pig’s Don’t Bounce relates the memorable first year (2003-04) in thedevelopment of pet care company Animals at Home. A nationwide success storytoday, with nearly 60 area franchises, AAH’s beginnings were very much a leap intothe unknown by husband and wife team, Denis and Shelley Chirgwin, who had leftbehind the financial security and certainties of life in the Surrey suburbs to move tothe Isle of Wight and launch a business venture – looking after animals in their ownhome while the owners were away – which was far removed from their previousexperience Denis’s diary entries during that first year form the basis for this account of thefledgling business. The couple’s encounters with the extraordinarily diverseassortment of animals – and owners – were full of interest, incident and eye-openinginsights into family life. The stories are candid, laced with humour – animals do thefunniest things but so, sometimes, do the people looking after them! – and not withoutpathos. Time and again, the importance of pets to the lives of those who own them isunderlined. The diary extracts are augmented by reflective passages as the author looks back onsubsequent related events and developments, while the text is colourfully illustratedthroughout by a selection of cartoon images depicting some of the most memorableincidents.
