William

For the longest time now Emily's highlight of the week has been visiting pets at home to see the Guinea Pigs, iv nearly relented once or twice but decided i had enough on my plate with the dogs, fish, parrot, lizard and steeled myself against getting yet more hassle.

Well a few weeks ago i off-loaded my fish to Shell and Marie bought my fish tank off me last week so that is one responsibility down and i did the impulse thing and decided we would get a Guinea Pig but once i had decided i wanted it like 2 hours ago.

So we jumped int he car realising it was Sunday we only had 40mins to play with so deciding we didnt have time to shop around for cheaper, went straight to Pets @ Home.

When we got there they only had 3 Guinea Pigs, all boys which was dissapointing as Emily wanted a girl one she could call Ruby but i explained this was all they had and we could either get one of these or we would have to go shopping tomorrow and try and find a girl one.

Anyway in the end we decided to buy the cutest one out of the three which was a tri-coloured one with very scruffy ears and a black smudge on his nose, he was super cute and Emily decided to call him William. I would have liked to get him a friend too but the other two were both white with red eyes which i hate and one of them had his eye glued shut!

After racing home, Steve built the hutch and sorted out the bedding, Emily had a lovely cuddle and then we happily put William to bed.

After Emily went to bed i checked the weather outside and felt bad for William having no one to cuddle up to so i brought him in the house in an old mouse cage till we could buy him a companion.
