Warning! Do not allow your children to watch "The Wonder Pets" on Nick Jr. I was under the mistaken impression that this sweet show about a little duckling, turtle and guinea pig who go out and help other animals by working together "we're not real big and we're not real tough, but when we work together we've got the right stuff!" was a nice show for my preschoolers to watch. Wrong. I now have a totally adorable little blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl begging me, mercilessly, for a guinea pig of her own. "No, not 1, mommy, 2! No, how 'bout we get, um, 5!" She is convinced that I can pick one up for her the next time I go to the grocery store... And when she got up from her nap this afternoon, the first thing she asked was whether I'd been grocery shopping yet. Silly me, I thought she was hungry and wanted a snack. Nope. She was wondering where her guinea pig was! How am I gonna get out of this one?!? I'm afraid that this is going to be one of those alien invasion situations--resistance is futile...

Hmm, I know a certain someone who had pets as a child! :> So if you do get guinea pigs, make sure to check the sex carefully... my two female hampsters had babies (together) a few weeks after we brought them home.
