An Early Christmas Present!

A couple of weeks ago, Travis and I were going to go for a drive for our date night. We didn't know where we were going to go, we were just going!! Well....

We ended up at the pet store in Tooele!! We went inside to look at the cute little animals. They had bunnies, guinie pigs, hamsters, birds, and some yucky snakes and things! They also had a couple of cool tortouses that just roamed around the store! They were aWeSoMe! Anyways, we have talked about getting a guinea pig for the kids when they get older, so we paid special attention to them. We picked out our favorite one, and asked to hold it. And then......

I fell in LoVe!! He was soooo cute!!! Oh how I wanted to take him home right then!! But, we had to walk away. So sad. We got back in the car, and made it to Wal-mart, still thinking about that adorable little guinea pig! And that is when we decided to just go back and get the cute little guy!

So now we have a new member to the Brown family. His name is Gus!! And....the kids LOVE him!!!
Reasons I love Gus:

1. He is SO cute!
2. He stays in a cage which means no pet hair all over the house, AND no messes(if you know what I mean!)
3. He is quiet!
4. He is small, but not so small that he could get sucked up by a vacuum! (Travis' pet hamster got sucked up when he was a kid)
5. He doesn't bite!!
6. The kids LOVE him! I love to see them happy!

Well that pretty much sums it up!!
And now introducing Mr. Gus Brown....
