I finally got Carmie a friend! I am so exited. I have been trying to convince my parents to let me get a second pig for almost a year but they were not letting me get one. I tried everything! Letters,power points ,talking about it ,and some posters too. Then finally today they let me get one!! I had pretty much given up at this point, but today is my birthday and we went to a town about 45 mins away to eat and go to this really cool pet store/ fish store. We were there yesterday too, because we thought it was going to snow today so we went then. This pet store had guinea pigs and there was this one big silkie that was beige and white with red eyes that I loved! I didn't ask for her at all. Then we came back the next day because they as a really big sale on fish tanks and I wanted to get a smaller tank to have in my room for a display tank. They didn't have the right size so we left went to eat and then to best buy. At best buy I remembered that my mom said this at the pet stor earlier "oh these are girls that would work with Carmie" so I asked her about it. I don't quite remember what she said but I know my sisters flipped out and started begging them to get a piggie. We left and in the car were able to convince them. So we went back to the pet store. We ended up not getting the red eyes one because some one just dropped her off and she wasn't for sale. So we got a baby Abby instead. I know pet stores are bad but this pet store is small and only breeds a small number of pigs. They breed then there and you can see the parents! Which is cool! Rescue is always better but I couldn't resist. I will put pics up tommorow oh and we named her iggy like "I'm so fancy" iggy. Because she has a Mohawk and it fits her well.
