Piglet and Speedy Join the Family

It seems it was inevitable that when living in Papua New GUINEA, we would eventually acquire some GUINEA pigs for pets. So, here's Ian on his day 'off' getting their little home ready.

Thankfully he had help from our friend, Raymond.

And from Jono, of course!

Jono's guinea pig was originally named Blackie but soon after arriving earned herself the name "Speedy". We were just thankful we were able to catch her again. Jono had learned the hard way not to let her run loose outside!!!

And here is Karlyn with Piglet, who is much more docile than her sister Speedy and content to hang out in Karlyn's arms. They are a good match.

I never thought I would say this about rodents, but they are really cute and are great pets for kids. Definitely recommended!
