First Day with Zelda

Her name is Zelda. :)

  We have been telling to our kids that they can have their dog once we move into our new house. However, they begged for having a guinea pig right after they've met their teacher's small pet, which is a hamster. :)

  So on a very fine Saturday, we went to look for a guinea pig in local pet store near our place. We couldn't find what we want. All they have are male guinea pigs - which are totally fine, but my kids just couldn't find what they want. All of them were having pink eyes and very furry, too. We've talked to one of the clerk - she said they have their sister store on the other side of the city, and they all have female guinea pigs over there. They don't want some accidental over-population of guinea pigs, so they've decided to keep this way. So we went to that store and found this pretty guinea pig. My kids named her zelda because their favorite DS game now is the legend of zelda series. :)

  She was 6 weeks old when we brought her home and this picture was taken in a few days later. She is very shy so far, and we've never had a guinea pig before as a pet so this will be our great journey with this new family member. We'd like to share with everyone what we are doing, learning, and finding out as we're getting a long with her. :)
