Guinnea Pigs Ahoy!








We would like to introduce the two newest members of our family, Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle Ward-Giles. Ward-Giles because we are pet sharing with our good friends across the road so we have them one week on and one week off. We can watch over them during our holidays and when things are crowded at one house we can pass things over. We got them from Katya and Ollie's nursery and the kids LOVE them. Oliver wants to pull their hair out, poke their eyes in, and in general squeeze the air out of them. Katya is gentle and lovely with them. She and Harriet, the other little girl in the photos, are very sweet with them. We want the kids to have pets, but its hard when we go away for the entire summer, so this seems to be a good solution. I don't feel too bad leaving guinea pigs, where as it would be hard to leave a dog. So those of you who have seen our house know we have plenty of room for a 4 x 2 foot cage, hahaha! But small is small and they can be outside most of the time as long as it isn't too cold! Hope you enjoy the the scruffy little critters!

sometimes cute can be too cute, you know what I mean? You're kids + guinea pigs = too much cute

What a good idea! PTP's- Part Time Pets. We're wondering what we're going to do with Nebo the dog when we go to Brazil this summer! I don't know if Alicey would have been so open to holding little wiggly animals, though.
