Today was a long day, mostly spent driving, but it was worth it. I am now the proud mommy of two brown and white boys; Sherlock and Holmes. I saw them on petfinder a few days ago, and fell in love with them and their names. I'm a pretty big fan of mystery stories, though I haven't really read any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I'm so excited; it's been at least 14 years since my childhood guinea pigs (including Brownie) died. I've done plenty of research, and I can't wait to shower them with love and proper guinea pig care.

Sherlock is the one with the white patch on his face and Holmes has a completely brown face.​

I'm having fun watching them explore their new cage. So far they've moved their food bowl from the corner to the middle; which is probably a better spot. Though, I think they're trying to move it into their hiding spot. Though, I was surpised that my sweet cat Oliver hissed at them. I don't think he knows what to think, but I'm supervising them.​

Tonight I'm just leaving them be to explore and get used to their cage. They're watching me watch them.​

Thanks! Mine came with their names, I just liked them too much to really change them. What does your new piggie look like?

I like their names. They are precious! My little big guy is short-haired with brown, white, and black. He's calm and sweet. Here is a computer generated picture
(not the greatest for depth).

Thanks, and yeah it is really great when you finally find them. Now to just get them used to me. I sat down in the area I blocked off for their first floor time and they did walk around me, and over my feet. They even took test nibbles of my shoelaces...something I'll have to remember tomorrow. :) Boy they loved the "salad" they had this evening, especially the romaine lettuce; though Sherlock immediately grabbed one of the pieces of golden bell pepper that was on the plate. They got approx. 1/8 a slice of orange, a small slice of the pepper, and a handful of lettuce each. I even enjoyed the rest of the orange, who knows maybe the boys will give me an excuse to eat a little healthier. :D

This seems like a busy time for adopting pigs. May you have many happy years with Sherlock and Holmes.
