New Pet!

Happy Monday--and MLK day!

Everybody is home today so I'll keep this brief.

We have a new pet.

A Guinea Pig.

Rocco.

He's so sweet!! Still a little shy though so I don't have pictures yet, so allow me to describe him in my best romance author voice:

His hair is the color of snow. But he was saved from looking common by the dustings of brown he had on his coat as well, as if he spent a lot of time rolling around in caramel and chocolate syrup.

Got a visual now?

Rocco was one of those let's-go-to-the-pet-store-and-get-a-guinea-pig kind of moments.
We've wanted to get a pet for the kiddo for a while and although I'm still looking for a dog and checking rescue shelters in my area, this will hold us for a bit. :-)

Pictures to come!

In other news, I'm guest blogging today at Simply Ali--talking about hero names. Come on over and chime in on what kind of names you prefer!

Peace out!

Anybody have a guinea pig or have one growing up?
