Sprog has been wanting a pet for a while, and since we no longer have the beloved Sacha Spaniel, Daddy has been entertaining the conversation. Have I? No, I have not.
So, the plan was to HAVE A LOOK at some hamsters in PetWorld, instead, 2 Guinea Pigs were purchased "aren't they cute?", and of course, there was a great deal on, to buy their home and other bits together, blah blah, so Sprog chooses a (pink!!!) cage, sorry- mansion, for them to live in. We need another room to house this thing, why they can't live outside, I don't know.
Cute, yes, but can I take them for a walk? No. Will they come and find me in the evening and nuzzle against me for a cuddle? No. Will they eagerly await by the back door for my return? No. Will they sit bolt upright and on best behaviour for a treat? They will not!So, we are now the proud owners of Sooty and Sweep (I think Angelina and Alice are better, especially as these are girlies) , who will apparently "grow hips and get a bit of a wiggle" we have been informed, and now live in the annexe. More hoovering required.
Sooty is quite chatty and inquisitive, Sweep has a white strip around her middle- looks like a fashion belt, but she's still sussing us out and darts to safety incredibly fast when I enter the room. I think she senses that I wish she was a dog.Anyway, enough about the furballs!
Plans for The Biscotti Kid are underway, and I have started by selling the aprons for the little darlings to wear whilst they help you in the kitchen, on with Kiddiebase. There are 4 designs and colours in 2 different sizes 3-5 and 5-7, and they are so funky.
More to follow on their website, of co-ordinating pieces, and when food becomes a new dept for them, my party bags and party favours will be going on too!So for now, it's goodnight from me.
Just have to pop in and check on the furballs.

OMG I would die a thousand deaths - if they have that long fur I always think toupees on paws.
ReplyDeleteAt school all the small rodents had to be given away (yes precious from an early age)
Alice knew she would never have a small furry animal that's why we ended up with four cats and two dogs and a series of goldfish (which the cats ate)
I had a melt down on Air France the other year with an internal flight to Hyeres and a woman had one in a cage - needless to say she caught a later flight & hubby didn't speak to me for the first three days of the holidays (it was epic the melt down)
I want to see pictures of the mansion to show owner /handler .......
