squirt
this weekend colby got it in his head that he needed a pet. he didn't want one that bites or eats things he didn't want to touch. i vetoed tarantulas {not that he'd get one, but i wanted to be sure!} and daryl vetoed puppies. so that left hamsters, mice and guinea pigs.
the boys begged and pleaded with us all day yesterday to go get a guinea pig tonight. they even made a list of things they would do for us to get us to agree. one of their concessions was haircuts! woo hoo! now i'll have my two handsome boys back instead of two little chia pets!
colby picked this little guy out all by himself. it was love at first sight...colby walked up to the big cage, and squirt came right up to the glass in front of him.
colby thought up a name before we ever got here. he was convinced that his new guinea pig should be named chubby. that name only worked for about 5 minutes, and then he got his new name...squirt.

Jacob is super jealous. Those are way to mice-y for me. They give me chills. I am happy for Colby though... but I hope I never meet Squirt!
