Philbert's name is an interesting story, bit long winded but hey!
We collect Pocket Dragons, they stopped producing them back in 2006 but before then you may have seen them in H Samuels etc. There was also a TV series called "Pocket Dragon Adventures" Philbert (It may be spelt Filbert) is a character from there.
Philbert is technically Philbert the second
Some years ago, when I kept guinea pigs before, my friend who ran a rescue took in a number of pregnant sows, she offered me the chance to have one of them at our house, let the sow give birth and she would take the babies on. She thought it would be a good thing for me to experience. Sadly it was a complicated birth, mum ended up not pulling through and we hand reared the baby. He was tiny and for a while I carried him about everywhere with me and hand fed him. He was called Philbert after the aforementioned dragon character. Sadly he died young but due to his start in life it wasn't unexpected.
The current Philbert was called "Nike" when we got him as he has an unusual hair growth pattern. I said to hubby he reminded me of the first Philbert and I broke a self imposed rule of mine of not having two animals with the same name.
