I am proud, albeit a little begrudged, to introduce to you Rosco, our new Guinea Pig. Santa brought him on Christmas morning and he is a definite hit with Emma and Spencer. I am still undecided on how I feel about him. I am grateful for the opportunity he gives the kids to care for a pet. I am grateful that his poop is confined to a cage and not all over the yard. I am grateful that he won't shed all over my furniture. I am grateful that he is mostly quiet. I am grateful that he doesn't require much entertainment.
However, I am sure that once the novelty wears off I will be cleaning out the cage, filling up the water bottle and loading up the hay manger. Sigh! He is kinda cute in a rodent sort-a way. Oh well, I guess we will keep him. His life expectancy is only 5 years!
