On May 12 which was a couple of days after Clover had passed on, Dorothy took the kids to check out what the pet store had in terms of guinea pigs. They had two female ones that were in a cage together, but said that they could only sell one of them to us since the other one was going to be undergoing treatment for a respiratory infection. They said that we would be able to bring the other one home when she was doing better.
So we brought Hazel home with us.
However a few days after Hazel was with us, she also came down with the same respiratory infection and we had to return her to the store so they could take her to the vet also.
Yesterday, we were able to pick up the other guinea pig which we named Mochi.
Mochi is definitely the less shy one of the two and has already taken to her new home. Hazel had a little more difficulty, but we're hoping that since Mochi will be here this time Hazel will more easily adjust.
