New Year, New Nibbles

Emma and Rhys's Christmas present this year, was a guinea pig.

"Nibbles" has now taken up refuge in our hallway, in a cage that is larger than we had thought it would be, from which wood shavings and hay are liberally tossed on a daily basis. Presumably to make room for the plentiful quantities of droppings that this small creature is surprisingly able to produce day and night. The kids love playing with her, but cleaning out the cage less so. Nonetheless, she has quickly become a cherished member of our family - even to Michele, who has always taken a firm 'anti-pet' stance. She is definitely thawing, and so I'm left slightly more optimistic about the possibility of a dog.... one day, perhaps.
