New Pet

Peter’s desire for a guinea pig began when he was 2. We had an impressive animal shelter in Hemet. They had a huge facility that included a pond filled with tons of various water birds and turtles,  a playground, and huge fields of animals. At various times we saw HUGE pigs, ponies, donkeys, llamas, cows, horses, a zebra once, ostrich, peacocks... You never knew what you’d find.  It was a FUN place, and we went every week. They also had a HUGE outdoor pen filled with guinea pigs, and he’s smash his little face against the fence and a few would always come up and "kiss" his nose. Since then he’s wanted a guinea pig, so we finally got him one.
