Pets
I fail at pets.
I finally decided on a cat yesterday. I visited the shelter, reserved Clarence and signed some papers. I'll be picking him up on Thursday or Saturday at the latest.
In the mean time, the guinea pigs decided that they hate each other again. Yesterday they were so aggressive against each other I had to separate them (which meant one of them had to spend the night in a cardboard box). So, although there are a lot of happy guinea pig couples, these are not it. For now, my sister is taking care of Curie, while Heisenberg stays with me (he's the good one, and the one who's been with me the longest, so it seems only fair). Unfortunately, they seem to be that sad kind of love/hate couple, because as soon as I returned home after installing Curie with my sister, Heisenberg is standing on his hind legs in his care whining. I wish I could offer him a carrot or something to ease the pain, but I'm out of fresh vegetables and dead broke for another 5 days.
I can't stand to have them together, but he seems lonely genuinely after 10 minutes alone.
Hopefully he can befriend the kitty.
