We are the proud owners of a new guinea pig. His name is Racer. He is white. Two of his paws are pink and two are gray. He makes an adorable noise that I can only describe as a cross between a cat purring and a mouse squeaking.
Racer also has red eyes.
Yes, it's a little scary. But my sweet and kind daughter picked him out and with a lot of heart explained to me that she was probably the only one who would love him and give him a kind home. Because she loves ALL animals, regardless of how they look. How could I say no? So we brought the possessed looking albino guinea pig home.
In the short 5 hours since we've owned him, he's grown on me. I'm over the red eyes. He's really quite adorable. But be warned - if you drop by our house be ready to meet Racer with the red eyes. You'll probably be won over by him in a short time and find that you ignore the red eyes. And if you're not, you can be certain that your children will. And will spend the whole drive home wanting their own guinea pig...
