Thank you, Kayla for sharing your story! It brought tears to my eyes. Ralphie would definitely be proud of you and whom you've become!

I didn't get a pet of my own until just before my husband and I were married. Hershey, my first bunny - was kept in an outdoor enclosure. I did everything right, I think. While my husband and I were away on our honeymoon, a friend was taking care of Hershey for us. Hershey ended up breaking his/her neck between the gate and the fence post of the enclosure. Our friend forgot to put the protective fencing back against the gate.

I had several rabbits after Hershey. Our neighbor reported us to the county zoning authority for keeping farm animals. I had to rehome my rabbits or be put in jail & fined.

I'd always wanted a guinea pig since then! My husband kept telling me, "No." Funny, several months ago, our four year old daughter started asking for a guinea pig. Daddy has a hard time saying, "No." to her. So, I got my guinea pig... just took my four year old 'wanting' one for me to get it!

And now I have two!!
