Hey everyone! I'm sooo sorry I havent gotten back earlier, I've been rather busy with school lately.

Okay..this is the sad but true story:
We called and called, and called again...and got no answer. But we had to go to a doctor's office that was nearby to the shelter, so we decided if we showed up and demanded to know, they would have to tell us.

Well, the woman who was fostering her was actually there, and she said that she had been adopted two days before I saw her picture. I pretty much was heart broken. I was sure this dog was for me. At least she has a home.

We went on to the doctors appointment, and my mom and grandma saw how heart broken I was, and I had wanted to get a hamster for a while too, so they decided we would go 'looking' for hamsters, not get one. (I dissagree with pet mills and pet stores mistreating animals, but the petstore we went to we knew how well the animals were cared for) So we got to the store, and the instant my mom actually saw a hamster-she said a big fat whopping "NO". She hates rodents, but I thought since a hammy has very little tail, it would be okay. So that didnt really help my broken heart, but we went on looking at the other animals they had. I saw this one lonely little guinea pig in his own tiny cage. It was high up, so we had to get a pet store worker to get a ladder to retrieve the little guy. She picked him up and laid him in my arms ...I never wanted to let go. I couldnt believe that me-of all people, a person completely against just getting a pet because you saw it (like without doing any reasearch about the animal) and I was going to him. So, needless to say, I talked my mom into it. Now I am the proud mamma to a 4 month old 'Buster' the guinea piggy.

A sad end to one story, and happen ending on on another. I'm still upset about not getting that puppy...but Buster is helping me through it!

Just to clearify one more time: I felt stupid getting a pet like that- just getting him without knowing or preparing or anything, but I just couldnt help leaving him there. So, again...dont think of me as a bad person- but I just fall in love with adorable and wonderful animals easily!
