My day consisted of going to work...and working all day long. BOY, was that fun and exciting. I was there from about 8am until 4:30pm when I was done. NO MORE...I'll be back tomorrow to do some more work. I'm just glad to say that we're getting all the stuff done that we need to to leave work at a somewhat decent hour next week.

I had to go get fruits and veggies for my new little friend (which I haven't really said what he was yet)...we bought a guinea pig last night. He sort of looks like this one:



When he gets accustomed to living with us strangers, I'm sure I'll get a picture of him. So far, I think Greg has been more of a nuisance than anything to him. He was trying to help Brian set up his cage last night and was getting the bedding all over the floor. Then when he finally get the cage set up and we put him in there (we named him Apollo), Greg was over there beating on his cage. If I was Apollo, I'd be freaking out...he was hiding in his little "pig-loo" and he eventually came out after everyone went to bed and Brian was still up. I'm sure it will get better.

He came out more this evening when we gave him some orange slices, but I'm sure he'll be more sociable when Greg goes to bed and he doesn't have to worry about some little baby pointing at him and going "SHU!! SHU!!!" and beating on his cage.

When we get more room, my plan is to let him have a way larger habitat. He needs room to run around and he seems to thrive better when we let him loose...granted, he likes to hid under the chair...but I think he's more comfortable when he's not smooshed in a cage or something.

But yeah...that was my day (and my new pet)

AWWWWW I cannot wait for pictures!

we had guinea pigs when I was little; maybe 6 or 7. I still have a scar from when one of them bit me. we had a cage, but we also had a snadbox-like play area for them to run around and stretch out. haha, good luck getting greg to leave him alone long enough to allow him to get used to people

My fourth grade teacher had to give up her cockatiel because it was in danger of being killed by her young daughter. It was so sad... she brought him to class and she was crying when she gave him away...

Not that I want to discourage you, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

I've owned quite a few guinea pigs over the years (not to mention hamsters and a couple ferrets) and in the past couple weeks I was thinking that after I move I may try to get a hamster or something cuz I'd like to have a little pet. Keep me company (especially if I end up in a one bedroom apartment all alone). I hope you enjoy Apollo and that he gets acclaimated...and isn't scared permanently of your son hehe

Wow... I hope you guys and Apollo get along very soon. I think it's okay to let it roam around the apartment as long as it doesn't poop and piss all over the place.
