I Have Someone I’d Like You To Meet…
Last Friday, we added a new member to our family.
Quentin Aeneas Chamisha is 5 1/2 weeks old; a very talkative, mellow tri-colour Teddy guinea pig. We brought him home last weekend, and he immediately started running around his cage, jumping from hay bowl to food dish to vegetables to toys, excitedly chattering as he checked out each item again and again.
He’s a little skittish because he’s a baby, but he’s slowly understanding the routines and has stopped jumping with every sound. He loves cuddling 100% of the time, though he’ll nip you or tug on your shirt if he needs to get down to pee.
His name. Quentin means five or fifth, and he came to our family in the fifth month and is our fifth family pet. His second middle name — Chamisha — means the same thing (five), and we usually call him Mish-Mesh (which means “apricot,” but sounds like that middle name). His first middle name, Aeneas, comes from Greek and Roman mythology/poetry, just because we like it.
It is hard not to have Beorn, and I often accidentally call Quentin “Beorn,” but we love Quentin in his own right. And it’s nice to have a baby again.

Autocorrect: changing things I don’t want changed and never fixing clear misspellings. Grrrrr!
