Meet Butterscotch

Caroline has been wanting a guinea pig for a few years now. We've had little notes left for us on the tablet, in our desks, etc. She has pleaded and asked her grandparents and this year she wrote her persuasive essay on getting a guinea pig. We caved just before she brought that home :) We figured turning eight years old was kind of a big milestone becoming more mature and ready to handle her own pet. We had seen the cutest bunny in the entire world and had hoped to change her mind with him or even a cat, but she walked into that store and saw Butterscotch and was in love. She has pleaded for guinea pigs at other places, but this was the first she could hold and get attached to. We had wanted to wait until after our April vacation but we figured why go through more heartbreak. So, meet Butterscotch! While she was hoping for a girl guinea pig since she had more names picked up, she immediately came up with his name and it was love at first site :)

 We ordered a cage, not two kids!

 Phew, the cage was inside the box so we stuck these guys in it :P

Butterscotch loves grapes, strawberries, carrots, and lettuce
