It's a boy!!!

I just bought the CUTEST little guinea pig this afternoon! There's this pet store down my road which I've always just passed by. You know how it is, you live in a place long enough, you just kinda take everything around your place for granted, I mean, it's just there. It just is. But today, something just told me to go in there and have a look. So I did. And I saw all kinds of colourful birds, a couple of kittens, lots of aquariums, a hamster and, of course, a guinea pig. Such a cute guinea pig. He was the first one to catch my eye. Then I asked about the others there and it turned out that this little guy was just in my price range too. As if it was just meant to be. As if the universe had finally decided that enough was enough and it was time I had myself my own little roommate. FINALLY!
So anyway, I came back home and frantically began assembling every currency note I could find in my room. I say frantically because I'd also seen a couple of other people eyeing the little cutie who was supposed to mine. But luckily for me, they seemed to have slightly more expensive taste in their four-legged companions. So what'd they do? Dumped the idea of buying a cheap guinea pig and bought one that was for 20,000 bucks. I frankly couldn't see any difference whatsoever. And it turns out, I had just enough. Like I said, as if it was meant to be.
So I rushed back with the money, praying he was still there, and there he was, just waiting to be taken home. So i brought him home and put out all the newspapers etc etc etc... I'm gonna call him Patches coz he has patches of black, white and brown. Beautiful guy. But poor fellow, he seemed so scared! (Wisecracks to yourself, plz) So as of now, I'm just giving him a little time to get used to this new place. Then I'll be able to enjoy him a lot more, I reckon.
Anyways, that's it for now, I guess. Just wanted to share my joy of buying my very first four-legged roommate with everybody out there. Cheers poeple!
