Perfect imperfection-pictures of handicapped pets

[Catherine]

I liked little Pip. They were all beautiful and so happy to be alive.
I like the fact that their people love them and see them as perfect and wanted them to be photographed.

I had a picture of myself and my little handicapped guinea pig, Pigbert,
sent up on the last space shuttle mission. I was really proud of him for trying so hard all his life and always being so happy. It was our big imaginary journey together.
