[Gpdd] MISC: Valentine Pigs and Introduction to my piggies!

[XOXoCropknoxOxoX at aol.com]

I love the idea of the Valentines Day pigs..I would be interested in doing  
that also...I don't think I ever wrote in this before so I'll introduce myself. 
 My names Katie and I'm 16 years old..I have 4 guinea pigs..Bentley, 
Sebastien,  Sheena, and Ramona..I got Bentley near the end of September 2004 from a 
pet  store (yea, I know it isnt the greatest place). It was on a Friday and I 
noticed  the other little guinea pig in the cage with him, but I couldn't get 
them both  because I didn't know how my parents would react to that. So I 
brought home  Bentley and I set up his cage and I showed my mom and she loved him! I 
brought  up to her that guinea pigs should actually be bought in pairs so 
they have  someone to communicate with and so they aren't bored when I'm at 
school (I'm in  11th grade). I felt horrible that whole weekend because I had left 
that poor  guinea pig at the pet store. So on Monday (October 3 which happens 
to be my dads  birthday) I asked him to drive me back and pick up the other 
guinea pig. He did  and that's how I got Sebastien! I noticed Ramona and Sheena 
at that same pet  store when I had to go in there to buy bedding for Bentley 
and Sebastien (I  usually don't buy their bedding there) They were just babies 
and I thought they  were so adorable! I had just bought Bentley and Sebastien 
a new cage (a bigger  one) so I had an empty cage and I went home and asked my 
mom what she would  think if I had brought home 2 more guinea pigs. She said 
it was ok, and on  December 1st my Dad took me there to get them. I asked the 
owner of the pet  store if they were boys or girls and he said he didn't even 
know and that he had  just gotten them. He said they were 5 weeks old.  I took 
them home a little  mad at the owner of the store because he really didn't 
seem to care. I guess you  could say I'm having some problems with Ramona and 
Sheena. I really can't tell  if they are boys or girls, with Bentley and 
Sebastien it was pretty obvious they  were boys but its a little harder to tell with 
Ramona and Sheena because they  have longer hair and I can't really see tell 
as good as I could with Bentley and  Sebastien. I really want to find out what 
their gender in case they are the  opposite gender and I have baby piggies 
runnin around. Can anyone give me any  hints or help me with this? I'd really 
appreciate it. 
 
Have a good day, 
Katie
