This is Twinkle - at least that's her name for today - our new baby guinea pig. We went rodent shopping today and we fell in love with this furry little sweetie! She loves snuggling in cleavage, so guess who's got a blogging and twittering buddy now?
Erin has been hauling Earl the Cat around the house like she's Olivia moving her cat Edwin, and Earl is not pleased. He also weighs nearly half of what Erin does so I thought getting her another vastly smaller pet to move around might be the way to go.
We went to three different pet stores and looked at all manner of hamsters, gerbils and other rodents, but the guinea pig's lovely demeanor and perfect size won out. We picked the smallest piggy of the bunch and I love her coloring- she's like a perfect black and white cookie with a little caramel drizzled on.
I had no idea there were so many variations of mice and hamsters, and if you've never seen a robo hamster up close and personal it's worth a trip to the pet store to check them out. They are bonkers!
