This?

This is Twix.

I like to call him Twixie.

Emily has been longing for one of these little guinea pigs for a long while.

We buckled today in hopes that it will cheer her up a little.

She had a tonsillectomy last Friday and has been really down in the dumps over it.

Each day, she’s perking up a bit more, but this little guy?

Made her especially happy.

Side note: Do y’all know that guinea pigs live for seven years?

Oh sheesh.

My the G-Force be with me.

(get it? *giggle*)
