February 24, 2007 while in SM North Edsa , Sasha and I passed by Bioresearch to look at the animals being sold. Then she looked up me asking if she can have small pet since all her cousins have one ( dogs ).
Hay! the downside of living in a compound. Your kids will easily be pressured to have what they have. Though they dont usually want what others have .. this pet issue wont fade away.
I , myself love pets ( cats particularly). I grew up having cats at home as many as 2 dozen pet cats. I was 5 years old then when I first saw a stray cat along Antipolo street and took it home while Mom is out working as an architect in Makati.
So when I saw this cute "character like " guinea pig that sasha was showing me, I fell in love with it. To make the story short, we bought it.
Guinea Pigs ... some realizations:
1. Their hair is soft if they are still young
2. They are pretty active. I thought they are passive pets.
3. They have different kind of sounds tos how how they feel. Gurgling sound to show that he is content. Chattering sound means he might bite due to anger or fear. A chirp, similar to a chick sound means he wants company or food.
4. They can be bathe. Be sure to do so since they have flea infestation due to a bad hygiene ... be sure to change their beddings often to avoid re-infestation and foul smelling pet.
