We
got Emilly from a pet store at our local shopping mall. She was the
only guinea pig left in the store. No one had bought her, most likely
because of her crippled paw - our vet suspects that her right forepaw
was broken when Em was a baby, and because nobody took care of her
injury, the paw healed at an awkward angle. We couldn't care less. The
only thing Emilly can't do as well as our other three guinea pigs is
climb out of her cage. Anyone who walked into that pet store looking
for a guinea pig and chose another one over Emilly because of her paw
really missed out.
Emilly is a social little guinea pig, and loves being held and cuddled
by her human family members and she sure is cuddly! The only thing she
likes better than being the center of attention is a nice, big pile of
fresh romaine lettuce or dandelion leaves. So what if she can't run
very fast because of her paw? Emilly is an important, furry,
pumpkin-colored addition to our family, and we love her to pieces.
