Hubby suggested his name. It's Scruffy. It seems to fit.
Yes, he does look a little like Rocky, the guinea pig we lost last November. Scruffy's fur is uber-soft with tons of cowlicks. Right now, he sits quietly in your lap, but once he gets used to us I think he'll be zipping all over the place.
It all started with an impromptu stop at PetsMart yesterday. The hubby and kidlet took Maggie Monster in to get a new dragon to gut and they saw a bunch of guinea pigs. Today we were heading to Panda Express and, lo and behold!, the pig was still there! Out of eight pigs, this was the ONLY one with medium-long, cowlick hair, the other seven had smooth, short hair (boring).
As soon as I saw him, I wanted him. I'm a sucker for pigs--even though I'm allergic to them.
Later, Peeps!
He is adorable. What does Maggie think of him?
ReplyDeleteShe's been getting a little too close and personal to him, but we're keeping an eye on her when we have him out.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she'd like a pair of pig teeth piercing her nose. :-)
