Our New Pets

As many of you know, we lost Donnie (our cat) in a very unfortunate accident with the neighbor's garage door last Thanksgiving. The house has felt very empty without Donnie's presence and we (Luke & I) decided to look into getting another pet (or two!!!). We didn't want to get another cat. There was no way to replace our little freckle nose Donnie. We don't want to get a little yapping dog and we don't have a fenced in yard for a big dog. So we moved to the rodent family. Which one to select? After doing all kinds of internet research and many trips to the pet stores, we decided on two female guinea pigs. We got Luke Brownie (the brown one) and Bailey (the gray and white one) for his sixth birthday. They have a nice cage with a castle, food, fresh veggies and fruits, timothy hay and lots of poop! :) Luke is learning how to help me with the cage and Eric is learning how not to gripe about the guinea pigs...
