Clover the Guinea Pig

     On Friday, I took home the class pet Clover.  He is a guinea pig.  This was my first time to take Clover home.  I waited many months to take him home.  When the teacher said it was my turn, I was so excited!  Everyday, I fed him carrots, lettuce, spinach, hay, and pellets.  All he did was eat...all day long.  When he was hungry, he would squeak and stand up on his hind legs, begging for food.  As soon as I would give him food, he would crawl into his castle to eat it. Sometimes I tried to pet Clover in his cage, but he was too fast and squirmy!  When my dad cleaned his cage, he put him in a box, and I was able to pet his soft fur.  My favorite part about Clover was feeding him and making him happy.
