Critter in the House

My kids would LOVE to have a pet but unfortunately we will not be getting a pet of any kind soon. We've had fish over the years, but the kids don't think they are 'fun' to have as a pet. My nephews received a Guinea pig for Christmas last year. Anyway, we are 'borrowing' Herkette for a week. My girls are LOVIN' her to death, giving her LOTS of attention.
