Speed is the name Alex chose for his new Betta.
Princess Smiley is the name Chloe chose for her new guinea pig. I ended up getting the animals 11 days before their b'days because the Pennysaver and SPCA neither had ANY guinea pigs, so when we found one at the Chesapeake Guinea Pig rescue, we jumped at the opportunity. PS is quite shy, but given that a year ago our stray cat, Walt Disney, wouldn't let the kids within 15 feet of him and now he follows the kids around the yard and watches them play, I'm hoping we have the patience and ability to help PS conquer her fears. Chloe pestered me all day about letting her play with PS, but PS was so nervous and her heart rate was maxed every time we took her out of the crate, so I insisted on several hours of rest between handlings. All told we had her out 4 times today and she got progressively more relaxed each time. I think we're making progress.
The kids last year trying to win Walt Disney's confidence.
