Have you met our new pets? We have two new guinea pigs- their names are Gizmo Joe (Keira's) and Gary Zac (Arlo's.) Much fun was had in the naming (you can probably tell.) 

They are soft and silky and make a lot of noise (a high-pitched 'wheek!) when we pick them up. But I think they're slowly getting used to us.

Tom built them a big pen/enclosure type of thing and we transfer them there from the hutch when we are around to keep an eye on them. They're slowly but surely mowing the lawn for us, square by square.

    They’re too cute. They look so big and fluffy. Reminds me of my guinea pigs when I was a kid. I first had a Berlioz and then a Theo. Coincidentally, I also just spent last evening googling ‘cats and guinea pigs’, which I can recommend if ever you need a moment of special cute in your life! :o)
    P.S.: I’m not sure why I wasn’t across this, but you wrote a book!!?! Congratulations!!!!!

    Very cute! They seem bigger than the guinea pigs I remember having as a pet. Also, much fluffier! Ours made a lot of squeaking and did a lot of high vertical jumping. It seemed a bit crazy. Your dress is also very lovely.
