Cookie’s in the House!

Meet Cookie, the Guinea Pig.  He is the Eides Family J-Space class pet. An Abyssinian, he was adopted from the Providence Animal Rescue League on Nov. 1 and was estimated to be 1 year old at that time.

The children in J-Space helped to choose what type of pet to adopt; they were able to learn about a few different Guinea Pigs available for adoption before choosing Cookie.  It only took about a week for him to get used to his new home, and now he greats everyone with happy squeaks. 

Children in J-Space volunteer for “Cookie Care” daily, where they help to clean his bedding, give him hay, fresh water, pellet food and vegetables. After they care for him, the daily volunteers get to spend time with Cookie in his play pen.
