Misty, the Guinea Pig

Invited over for a BBQ at my sister-in-law's friend's house, we brought over some salad to contribute to the festivities. 

In the BBQ, I met Misty the guinea pig. Huge, fat, adorable; and she peed on my lap. Thank goodness there was a mat to save my clothes from the warm stench. She was too cute to hate.

Past couple of days I’ve been planning-slash-debating whether to get a pet or not. I’m alone, without a partner, and a pet seemed to be a reasonable thing to do. Coming home to something that lives and grows, with eyes, would be a nice little change.

So the list went like this:

Dog (sister-in-law will kill me due to the fur and noise and constant needs)
Cat (same reason above, although I love cats)
Hamster  (same reason above)
Guinea Pig  (same reason above)
Fish (quiet, but requires pricy ‘equipment’ to keep alive)
Lizard (will plain-out scare my sister-in-law)
Bird (might be too noisy, but very possible)

Still in the process of debating pro's and cons. No rush, really; just something to think about outside of school and work.

For now, here is Misty.
