The Sandwich

     This is something I've been meaning to get out for a long time. My apologies to the owner, I know I said I would blog about it when it was "New News" sadly procrastination has been poking at me.

     I'd like to present the cutest guinea pigs I've ever seen, Peanut Butter and Jelly. Also known as...The Sandwich. 

     I remember having a conversation with the owner once, saying that my gerbil was the epitome of cuteness. She had asked me what epitome meant and I responded saying, "It means when you look up the word in the dictionary, my gerbil's picture will be there." She countered, insisting that she was sure her guinea pigs were there, and not my gerbil. To resolve this serious issue I explained that her guinea pigs are the epitome of adorable. This is true. 

     Peanut Butter's name was picked perfectly because she reminds me of a Reese's Cup. Her black, silky fur has caramel coloured ribbons throughout. She's the cuddly one and while it's impossible to pick which I like better, her or her sister, I love that she's content to be stroked and sit in your hands. 

     Jelly, if there's one thing I love about Jelly it's her fur. Spiked tufts stick out in every direction and are all kinds of colours from black, to white to grey. She likes to snuggle too, but she's also more of the adventurous one. She likes to explore the room and find a nice cozy corner to sit in. 

Snuggling.

     The funniest thing is how much these two rodents love their owner. The second she walks into the room the rodents start to make noises. Clicks and squeaks and noises that remind me of Chewbacca. When they know they're going to get their vegetables the come out of their wooden house and wait patiently for celery and other yummy treats. Once they get fed, it takes seconds for the little mammals to devour the greens and after they're finished they're happy to be petted on the noses. Then they crawl back into their house and snuggle up to each other to sleep. 

     Although you can't eat it, this Sandwich is one sweet sensation.
