The Guinea Pigs
















Ever since my kids could talk they have always wanted a pet. We have had our fair share of them. Oh were to begin? We have had three birds, three rats(I DID NOT WANT THEM), a duck, a fish, a hamster, and a dog. The birds, fish hamster, duck died which were very sad days in our house. The rats we let lose in a big field with hopes they would never return. The dog we loved but no one wanted to take care of her so I got stuck with all the work and I don't really like dogs. So I sold her. Lets just say I was very hated for a very long time in our home.


So when the kids(and Greg) kept asking for a pet we did some research and found that guinea pigs were a very good pet for kids. They are not very active and they will just sit in your lap and not move. THEY DON'T BITE and they don't make any noise. They do best in a group so that is why we have three of them. We will see if we can keep them alive for longer than two years(that is our record right now). We got all female so we don't multiply and replenish the earth with guinea pigs. The names are Squeaky(Meg), Selina Gomez(Ben), Skittles(Sarah)
