I have always wanted a guinea pig... I don't know what it is about those cute, silly, happy little faces, but I just have wanted one since I was eleven years old. I am now 25 and living in my own home.
One quiet day in February 2012, shortly after I had moved into my own place, I was sitting on my couch with my mom and we were chatting. I told her that I still wanted a guinea pig and she said well then lets go get one! I jumped to my feet and set off to find my new fur baby. I didn't really know anything about guinea pigs, so I went and bought a cute, but way too small hutch, some food bowls, dry food and saw dust. I knew Sherlock was my piggy the minute I saw him. I picked up this tiny, sweet ball of fluff and brought him home with me. I set up his new home (which would soon prove to be inadequate, but like I said I didn't know any better) and I proceeded to give him lots of cuddles and some yummy cucumber to welcome him home.

Each and every day I grew to love this little piggy more and more, but I also began to realise just how little I knew about guinea pigs. These little creatures are far more complex than most people realise, so if I could do one thing differently about that day, it would have been to research these special little animals a bit more.
