Hello! My name is Teneik. I have 3 human kids and several other kids of all shapes and sizes. My husband fell in love with a guinea pig at Petco and asked me if we could adopt him :eye-poppi (he was no pets for a long time, then he was no more pets, but I never thought I would see the day he would ask for another! Usually I am the one not allowed at the shelters 
) That turned into a hunt for a rescue to be friends with him, and when that didn't work, it turned into finding 2 girls to be friends with the rescued boy. He certainly didn't know what he was getting into LOL. After reading this forum a ton to try and get through introducing the boars, I decided I should just join. Currently we have our original piggy, JJ, who is approximately 1.5 yrs and I believe an Abyssinian. He seems to be very happy to be a single piggy, not sure if that was from being isolated from other piggies his whole life, or just his personality. Noodles is the boy we rescued, he is around 9 or 10 months old. He is living alone while we wait to schedule the big snip and then for the waiting period after. We recently rescued a bonded pair of ladies, Nadia who is around 2 yrs and Star who is around 1.5 yrs. They were supposedly spayed, but when we went to meet them and got the true story (the woman apparently claimed they were spayed when she bought them from Petco) we knew they weren't but fell in love with them anyway. I couldn't leave them, they needed to be bathed and had horrible curled under nails and they needed us, I could just tell They are waiting for a brand new big c&c cage to be built that can eventually hold them and Noodles. Then we will shuffle cages, give JJ the nice big cage Noodles is in, and save the too small cage that JJ came in for a hedgie when our name comes up on the rescue list.
Phew, that was longer than I intended, sorry about that! As for the rest of our family, my husband is in the Navy on a Submarine, the kids are 10 (girl) 7 (boy) and 2 (girl). We also have a dog, a cat, some fire bellied toads and 2 leopard geckos. Thank goodness I stay at home so I can love on everybody all day long
I think that's it. As you can tell I can be a bit wordy so I better step away from the keyboard!
