Normans on "vacation"

Norman is on "vacation!"  He's on the mend at PetSmart!  Poor little guy has a skin issue and is getting the needed care!  I kept telling Norman to stop using all that hair gel! :)  But I never knew how expensive this little guy would be or should i say my exotic pet!  That is what the Veternarian in Nacogdoches, TX believes!  So in order for our dear little guy to get better, we would be paying out more than what we payed for him due to his exoticness!  Thankfully i looked at my receipt and noticed i had 14 days, since the time we bought him to bring him back.  Yesterday was my 14th day!!  Something must of triggered me to check on Norman!  So we ventured to PetSmart! 

Laila insisted on caring his carrying cage in the store.  After about a minute of explaining why we had to bring him back (seemed like forever!) she ventured into the store with her buddy beside her!  We talked to the small animal caregiver and told her his name.  Whether or not she actually will use that i don't know, but for his sake i hope so!  We could either get our money back, get a new guinea pig or get Norman back.  Of course we decided to get him back!  They have to treat his issue at the store, so we won't be seeing him for 2-3 weeks, or at least until he's healthy enough to come home!  The gal started to walk away with him when Laila started to call his name.  So she came back to let her say goodbye!  Talk about tugging on your heart strings!  "Bye Nemo (her nickname for Norman), by Nemo, I love you!  I miss you Nemo." 

After the goodbyes we went to check out the other guinea pigs in the cages.  I don't want to play favorites, but i think we got the best, cutest guinea pig ever!!  The other guinea pigs were nice, but Norman has a spunk to him!  As we left the store, Laila started to cry and asked to get Norman!  It was sad, but i kept reminding her that he's getting better!

So that was our sad day!  But our Norminator will be back and stronger than ever!  Who knew a guinea pig could create such a blog!!
