Having a pet can be so much fun!  Pets become part of the family!

Peanut is the newest member in our house.  He is a guinea pig.  We just brought him home today (May 22).  Peanut is 6 months old.  He eats guinea pig food, but also eats lettuce, cucumbers and carrots!

I have a carrier to take him outside and hope to get a leash soon too!
