Dog, cat, both or neither?

Dogs and cats aren’t the only pets! After our last guinea pig died (she was 8 years old), we were planning to be pet-free. But DH made the mistake of saying we should wait a week to make the decision, and that opened the door…within a month I’d adopted a new fuzzy friend. Ordinarily one should have at least two pigs because they’re so social, but since Carmela hated every pig the rescue tried to bond her with, they adopted her out as a single.

intparent:

Wish I weren’t allergic to guinea pigs – I love them, and would definitely just get one or two of them if they didn’t make my eyes and nose run like a faucet.

That’s a bummer. My son used to spend a lot of time in the recliner with a pig nestled up against his cheek, but then he started getting a rash whenever he touched a pig. Are you sure you’re allergic to the pigs themselves and not the hay or bedding?
