Double the poo, double the fun.

Kind of like having more than one child, I suppose.

I couldn't handle one lonely guinea pig for the five or six or ten years

that we have committed to guinea pig ownership.

Therefore, we have doubled our 'litter.' Literally.

I have been guaranteed that these guys are both male.

If not, heads are going to roll.

I do know they are both furry, have long teeth that never stop growing, and abnormally big lips. They make a HUGE mess of hay, are super mellow, and are the closest thing to Heaven my daughter will experience on Earth.

And after ten years of marriage, I finally have a reason to buy a dustbuster.

True love

This little guy is the first thing she holds in the morning and the last thing she cuddles at night.

He doesn't run around frantically like the hamster, has only pooped outside of the cage once (as opposed to five million hamster droppings), and he makes little happy noises when he's being pet. Despite the mess he slings out of his cage, I think he might be the perfect pet.
