Guinea Pig

So today we let Ava and Connor know that we were thinking of allowing them to each get a guinea pig. You can just imagine the excitement this news brought. We have explained to them that we will not be jumping into it right away. It will be a few weeks even months before we will be ready to buy one.

First thing Ava and I did was check out the local pet store on how much this adventure is going to cost us. My dear! Then we visited the thrift store to see if they had any cages or books we could get. No cages today, but we did get 2 lovely books on caring for guinea pigs. Now we can do all the researching, preparing and learning required before we embark on this important responsibility of owning and caring for the first pet.
