I'm absolutely elated right now, and I just HAD to share my feelings with ya'll!
A little over a week ago, my roommates came to me with a crazy idea: What if we take all four computers out of the office... and move them into the living room? Owning a laptop, I didn't really care where I plopped my rump to peruse the web. Of course, I was curious as to WHY they'd want to do that. Well, some had the brilliant idea of turning the Office into the Barn (as it's been lovingly named).
On one side of the room, we have my roommates two budgies, Anova and Einstein, and on the other, we have my precious Edelweiss in her shiny new C&C cage! We figured it would be a good way to get both species more comfortable with humans, plus they seem to be intrigued by each other's talking. This, of course, means that my roommate gets to see A LOT more of my guinea pig (I had been keeping her in my room before.) Now, a week or so before ordering Edelweiss' cage, I began my search for a companion for her and... well... it didn't go so well. I couldn't find females ANYWHERE in the area, except for the humane society, but as I'm not 21, I can't actually adopt there yet. And, being without a car, I was limited by distance. :/ I was dismayed, fearing that I wouldn't be able to find her a friend.
Then a few days ago, my roommate came to me and told me how sad my piggy looked. And she really did. She was really skittish whenever we were in the room, but that was mostly because she wasn't used to her cage and the amount of people around. But we had mounted a "piggy cam" to the wall, and whenever we left, she just sorta sulked around the cage.
That was when my roommate told me that she'd be willing to drive me up to two hours away, so long as it meant that we could cheer up my baby.
And so, I'm very excited to announce that I have found a very beautiful girl! Her current owner isn't too sure how old she is, though she doesn't think older than two. She seems to be a healthy little thing, and she's already being taken care of so well, aside from a too small cage. Tomorrow, we get to pick her up! My boyfriend is rather sad that he won't be able to make the journey with us, since he has to work, but he is ecstatic as well!
I can't wait to post pictures for all of you!!
