The excitement is building!

Today, our family visited our local farm supply store to order a very large cage for the pair of guinea pigs that we hope to adopt from an animal rescue mission next weekend.  Petunia started a little bit of sniveling while we were in the store, then, upon our exit, the tears started flowing.  She quietly sniffed, "I'm just so excited, Mama.  I've waited more than seven years to have my very own pet."  She is such a great kid that I won't even call her a Drama Queen for the theatrical tears.  We're all excited!  So send the "good pet karma" our way!
