[Gpdd] MISC: RE: Rescue Stories

[Marie.McDermott at CliffordChance.com]

I don't have any rescue stories, but I do know that my little piggies bring
great joy to my life.  I've always wanted children and since I got married
late, I was unable to have any.  My husband has a lot of hobbies and I do
not.  I didn't know what to do with myself once I got home from work.  I
wanted a pet to keep me company and initially I wanted to have a dog, but my
husband told me that it was too much trying to walk him every day and that
he/she would need a lot of attention.  Then a friend of mine, who was
pregnant with her 4th child and had 3 guinea pigs, 2 cats and 1 large dog
and asked me if I would take her guinea pigs.  She knew that I wanted a pet
and she said that I would be a great guardian because I have such a big
heart.  I was reluctant to take the piglets at first because I knew nothing
about caring for them.  Well, before I got these little guys I purchased
some books at Barnes & Noble and I went on the internet for research.  When
I finally picked up these little guys, I was amazed on how cute they were,
but I was afraid of not caring for them properly.  I guess it's like having
a newborn child.  I must admit, in the first couple of weeks, it was a lot
of work and there were times when I asked myself "Why did I get myself
into".  But, as time went on, I got faster at cleaning the pen, feeding them
and now it's a snap.  After several weeks, I reread all my guinea pig books
and everything fell into place.  I understood.  Now, when I come home from
work, I check on my little guys first, then I talk to my husband.  LOL!!

I guess they've rescued me.  I love these little guys so much.  I put them
on my lap and brush them.  I carry them around the house and give them
little kisses.  I check on them constantly like a children in a crib.  I
finally have my babies!!
