Cookie
(on the left) and Nutmeg (on the right) are two of the sweetest
guinea pigs you could ever want. I adopted Nutmeg two years ago along
with her momma, Calico. I finally adopted Cookie this past December as
a companion of Nutmeg after the passing of Calico last June. I didn't
think I could adopt another since I had been so attached to Calico but
Nutmeg was becoming withdrawn and I knew it wasn't fair ... I'm so glad I
adopted another! After two days they were inseparable! Every morning
when my alarm goes off at 6:15 they start their "morning laps" around
their huge cage which I built. Our bedroom is next to the den so I can
hear them running around and jumping, just waiting for me to poke my
head in the door. They know that once that alarm goes off food is close
behind! Once they have their breakfast they wait for me to pick each
one up for a little cuddling before I race around the house getting
ready for work. I can't tell you how much joy they bring to my husband
and me. I'm even considering adding one more to the mix!
