Meet Our Summer Guests...

This is Maggie... (notice the stunned expression on her face...it's permanent!)Maggie has come to join us for the summer...(she is struggling to contain her excitement!)
This is Lollipop...(I think the sparkle in her eye says it all!)
Lollipop has also decided to take up residence at our little abode for the summer...(or residence in elle's arms for the next two months!)
Maggie and Lollipops' mommy and daddy, Hannah and Jake, have wisely decided to flee the heat of the valley for the cool breezes of the Jersey Shore. They have entrusted us with the responsiblity of caring for their two g-pigs (that's what I call them) until August. Lucky for us, Hannah and Jake are blissfully unaware of our history with pets in our home. Actually, I think Maggie and Lollipop will be very happy here. They don't seem to mind participating in the kids' playtime at all... dress-up, pet shop, twister. What piggy-pig (as elle calls them) doesn't like dress-up? Yes, I am sure Maggie and Lollipop will fit in just fine. And...it's been almost five months since an animal has died in our care!

Oh my gosh, I just want to squeeze Elle's little cheeks in that last picture, she is so darn cute! Have fun with the g-pigs!

Pet sitting is the best! Your kids can love the heck out of them then send them home! (I hope they don't die on your watch - I will cross my fingers for you!) Hee hee!

Good luck with those little critters Sara. WE had 2 g-pigs and one died right after we got home from the pet shop and the other one lasted until she had 2 still born babies and then she bit the dust too!!~hopefully you have better luck then we did!
