I have had pets all my life, but last year my adorable rabbit Crunchy ran away. I’ve got a hamster, but you can’t really hug them because she just runs, bless her. I really wanted a guinea pig!

Me and my friend went to a chicken auction which sells guinea pigs. My friend got hers, but I kept thinking how my parents wouldn’t let me, I already had a hamster, etc. All the bad thoughts just kept going round in my head.

I begged and begged but the negative thoughts were still there. And as you could guess, the auction finished and I had no guinea pigs. :~[

A couple of weeks later my auntie told me how she’d got this book and it helps you to get anythink you want – The Secret. She lent me the book and I read it.

The next day I was looking on Adtrader and these guinea pigs popped up! They were perfect, close to were I live, cheap, and came with a cage.

I tried not to think what my parents might say, and instead thought what I wanted them to say. My mum and dad came home that afternoon and I told them about the guineas. Straight away they phoned them up and we were going round to get them.

Now I’ve got my two lovely guinea pigs, Ant and Dec!
