Yes, we really are big softies....or suckers, one or the other!

Jason (our sweet, blue eyed "baby boy") has been asking for awhile now if he could have a guinea pig. 

Guinea pig?  Where did that idea come from?  

We managed to skirt the issue for several months, feigning deafness and/or changing the subject.  ;)   After all, we already have two dogs and a cat-- certainly enough pets for one family.
But after much persistence from Mr. Blue Eyes, and some sighs and reluctant parental approval, I present to you...
Thing 1  
and Thing 2
Pretty cute as far as rodents go, right? 


Never underestimate the power of a five year old.   :)  Heh.

Oh my...how ever could you have said no for so long with those beckoning baby blues??

So, so sweet...and the guinea pigs are really cute.

We had rats...the first set Liv had was Guinea and Piggy. However, Thing 1 and Thing 2 is a pretty cute set of names.
