Meet Rosco


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!
