We're getting The Boy a pair of guinea pigs this coming Saturday, from a breeder in New Hampshire. The house is abuzz with activity--the Web-surfing for info, the cage building, the "where-the-hell-are-we-going-to-put-the-Xmas-tree-because-that's-where-the-cage-is-going" discussions--it's all happening at the SFNE House. The Boy was so excited the other night that he couldn't sleep. He doesn't even do that before Xmas or Hannukah (we're an equal-holiday household).
These are the big "you're 11 now, so they're your responsibility" pets. Though I'm quite prepared to help. They do look awfully cuddly...
Whatcha going to name 'em?
ReplyDeleteHow about Misletoe and Menorah - in honor of the eeo holidays? :)
Ha! Jim suggested Pulled and Pork because they're "pigs," but The Boy actually got a little perturbed by that, for some reason ...
