#Microblog Monday 540: Quentin’s First Road Trip

Quentin turned two months old and went on his first road trip. We went to visit Josh’s parents, and while you can normally leave a guinea pig alone for a day or two with food and water, he’s still a bit too little to stay alone. So we packed the same amount of gear that we used to bring when the kids were little (little carrier and big carrier and playpen and toys and food and and and) and jumped in the car.

He was a joy in the car (he mostly slept) and took a few hours to get comfortable in a different house, but he was a good roommate — I had some fears that he would want to play at 2 am because he could see us — and after his nightly zoomies around the playpen, he went into his big carrier and slept until morning. Road trip plus: Justine got to meet him and give him a cuddle.

I love that he’s such a chill pig and game for any adventure. Plus, I literally feel my body calm when I’m stroking his back. He’s a great travel companion.
