WALL-E and Spirit

This is a follow up from a post about Molly the moth who became Elsa's pet for a while. Audra and I did some thinking and decided we were ready to give pets a try. Now, I have some serious pet allergies. We looked into getting reptiles, but decided they weren't right for our family. After some reading, we decided we wanted to try guinea pigs. We had the kids watch some videos on-line about guinea pig care.
Finally the day arrived to go get the pigs. We made some calls and found a pet store in a neighboring town that had three guinea pigs. While we drove over, the kids watched the movie SPIRIT. We got into the store and Elsa was captivated by the guinea pigs. Gibson was interested in the whole store. He kept wandering off to see all the other animals. The kids each got to chose a guinea pig. We got them loaded up and got the appropriate gear and headed home. On the way home we talked about naming the pigs. Both kids wanted to name their guinea pigs "molly". I nixed it since it was a girls name and both the pigs are boys. Finally Gibson chose the name WALL-E and Elsa chose the name Spirit. My kids must be influenced by movies.
The kids are doing really well with their pets. Amazingly of all the the things I am allergic to, I am not allergic to guinea pigs. Elsa has done really well as a pet owner. She memorized the care video we watched. She kept quoting the funniest things from it. Apparently that had a really big impact on her. So far they have been good pets.
