A New Special K!

No one freak out! It's not what you think! ;) As you know we have Karson and Koko, our sweet little guinea pigs, but lately there has been discord among the masses... errrr... the children. You see, there are five children and 2 guinea pigs. Now, we still have to be right next to Kellsey when she holds them as she likes to love them... to pieces! haha So that leaves 4 kids playing freely with 2 guinea pigs... Karson belongs to Kameron and Koko belongs to Kassidy and that left a very upset Kennedy and Keeghan. It was getting old quickly!

SO as Frank was browsing Craig's List the other day (which shows up as fraud's list when you type it into an iPhone text message, just FYI lol), he saw an add for a family giving away a free guinea pig. They are moving out of town and needed to find a good home for the little guy. SO on a whim, I sent them an email, and today we went to pick up Kupcake! (His previous name was Fluffy, but they assured us he never liked his name anyway! LOL)

Kupcake is now Kennedy and Keeghan's guinea pig (and Kellsey's when we can be right next to her). He's a sweet little guy, but he's two years old and isn't used to being around other guinea pigs... we tried it out for awhile...

Karson, he needs a haircut! ;o)

And then we decided that it wasn't going to work out for tonight. They were all too restless and we had three guinea pigs and two houses in the cage. Yeah, you do the math! haha So, Kupcake is back in his cage for the night and we'll slowly integrate them together, I hope! The kids all love him though! He's a sweet little guy!! Oh and for the record, Kupcake's previous owner was a little girl named Keegan! I think it was meant to be! :) Keegan, if you're reading here, we're taking good care of Kupcake (Fluffy) for you! 

More about our day tomorrow!

Probably better to separate them at night for a while...you don't want to wake up to any problems!
Still praying in Seattle!
Galatians 1:3-5 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

AW, Kupcake is cute. :) Or should I say kute? :P


If Karson were my guinea pig I would cut his hair and save it to spin, because it looks like it would make a great spinning fiber. Wouldn't that be funny?

"Where'd you get that hat?"
"Oh, it's my guinea pig."

I wish I could send you a picture of my daughter's gp Gretchen... looks almost identical to Kupcake.

Koko looks like my guinea pig from when I was a kid! My sister and I each had one and we tried to breed them (m parents had been doing that with their guineas for ages) but then my sister's fat tub of a guinea pig nearly squished mine to death and we never attempted it again!

Of course I blogged about it! http://goodrandomfun.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-asked-hashem-for-that.html

Kupcake is really cute!!! When you introduce them, make sure there is one more house than there is guinea pigs in the cage. This way there is no fighting over houses if they don't want to sleep together, and everyone gets a 'choice' so there is no discontent over it. :)
