Our class pet has arrived

After polling the crowds, we decided on a guinea pig as a classroom pet this year.  The students enjoy taking him out to "graze" at recess, and sneaking in little bits of lettuce from the cafeteria as a treat for him.  We have learned all about the good, the bad, and the stinky when it comes to caring for a pig.  He has adapted well to his new environment and enjoys all the attention he gets.  The students get to alternate weekends taking him home.  We couldn't unanimously agree on a name, but we knew we wanted a Bible name.  It was either Joseph (for his coat of many colors) or Daniel (for his bravery).  We compromised on the name Joseph Daniel (J.D. for short).
