So long, Rupert

After a couple months of contemplating and a day of tears, we decided to give Rupert away. Guinea Pigs live longer if they have a cage mate to play with and we knew we didn't have time to take in another Guinea Pig. One pet is enough for us. So on Saturday, Cam took him to the Humane Society. Rupert was definitely the cutest Guinea Pig! Last night Cam and I were talking about some of the things that Rupert would do while we had him. Whenever we would put him in his little play cage in the livingroom, he would always squeal when I left the room and wouldn't stop until I came back. Just a couple weeks ago he started to squeal when I came home from work and I wasn't even downstairs yet. I don't know how he knew it was me! And Rupert LOVED oranges! We would give him a slice, then next thing we knew it's already gone! One time we took him to the park to run around, but by the time we were ready to go we couldn't catch him! Some guys from Peru decided to help and after we finally caught him they started to explain about how they eat Guinea Pigs in their country. Ew, gross! Rupert will definitely be missed, but atleast he gets to play with other Guinea Pigs now!
