Gus Gus

This week we had a little house guest. I didn't have to wash the sheets or put out the good towels though because our guest was covered in fur and came with his own cage. Ladies and gentleman I present to you, Gus...


Gus is Keagan's class guinea pig. He is hiding in his little house because he was obviously terrified. Who wouldn't be here? Some days I'm a little scared. My girls plus Kellie and Addie who were here Friday night and Saturday, just might have loved the poor thing to death! Riley squeezed him a couple of times and I can neither confirm or deny that poor Gus may or may not have been dropped. Twice.








But the girls absolutely loved their weekend visitor. Keagan called him Gussy Gussy and chatted to him all weekend. And Riley didn't have any hesitation with him at all. Keagan was even dreaming about Gus because she woke up in the middle of the night Saturday so worried that she had laid on top of him and smooshed the poor thing! Thankfully both girls were both big helpers in cleaning out his cage this morning. Not my favorite task for sure!








Funny story about Gus was at the beginning of the school year. Keagan was so excited about him and couldn't wait to tell her cousins all about him. When she told them he was black Addie looked at her with a serious look and with a warning tone said "ummmm he's African American!" Hilarious!





So we had a glorious 3 days with our African American guinea pig. He brought excitement without too much extra work. But for now I think we will just stick with the stuffed and cuddly type of animals at our house. Thanks for a great weekend Gus!
