Hello from Charleston!

[jdancer99]

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsay, and I'm a first grade teacher in Charleston, SC. I don't have any kids but consider my crew of pets my children. I have 2 cats, Kyle and Chloe, and I just got my guinea pig Emily from another teacher that is no longer able to care for her. She is about 1.5 years old and sweet as can be. I am in the process of finding her at least one new friend and getting her a C&C cage. I know she'd love a friend as she's constantly trying to chat with the cats. Somehow, the larger cat seems afraid of her which is kind of funny. I'm looking forward to all the help, advice and support everyone will be able to give me here. I'm a bit out of practice...I had 2 guinea pigs when I was much younger.
