WHOO! Li'l Sis got a Guinea pig named Pixie Star!
Misty's been my cat for years; she's the only pet, barring a goldfish that outlasted two other goldfish plus a couple of snails and a suckerfish, who has managed to stick around with us. (Other cats have started biting and had to be returned or ran away. There was a dog when I was little, but when it jumped over its fence and landed on me, traumatizing but not hurting me, it had to be given away. There were parakeets, but one died and one managed to get out of its cage and escape.) That would be great, but Misty is quite firmly my cat and doesn't trust/like Mom and Li'l Sis much. She's also quite territorial, so we can't have other dogs or cats, and small animals have to be kept where she isn't allowed (my mom's bedroom, basically).
But Li'l Sis has been wanting a hamster for a while. Mom finally agreed to go to the local small animal/fish pet store and pick one out, although she predicted Li'l Sis would like the Guinea pigs much better. She was right--and now Li'l Sis has a sweet little calico Guinea pig named Pixie Star with whom I am firmly banned from bonding
