My sister’s birthday was on the 7th of July. She turned 11.
On the 7th I said I would take care of the guinea pig. I said that because it had some signs of death. I told her I will do the job for a few days.
We have not celebrated her birthday yet. My Mom is a flight attendant, and she had to fly to New York, rest, then come back. She came back last night.
My Dad is a lawyer. He had to go to Georgia for a lawsuit case. He came back on Thursday night.
We can’t do the party today because my Dad’s cousin got married last night, and they are having another party today.
We need to rest on Sunday. On Monday the whole family is getting together to celebrate her birthday, at the beach. We have done a lot of traveling this summer and we still will. We already went to Hawaii for 2 weeks, A Lake, Virginia, and DC. Our last summer vacation will be in October. Then fall begins.
So I checked on the guinea pig today. He is 6 years old. Pretty old. He spent 1 year with the breeder and 1 year with the pet store and 1 year with an abusive family. Then we got him and we have had him for 3 years. We have took good care of him. The maximum of what he needs.
My sister doesn’t really have any friends, so that guinea pig was her only friend.
2 years ago, my sister transfered schools. 30 minutes away. She used to go to a school with 300 kids per grade. At her new school, she had 100 kids per grade. She used to be popular, at her old school the best of friends she could get is 3. But she treated everybody like a friend. But since she was the ‘new kid’ she doesn’t have any friends. She is going to middle school next year. 4 schools together. Her old school is going to that middle school, so she will have her friends back and make new friends too.
In a few weeks, she is going to have a 100 kid birthday party. Some from her old school, her new school (4), extra curriculars, etc.

I am asking this because I want to ask you, is this a good gift?
My parents are divorced, and for birthday presents, I told them I am getting her something big. I told them a puggle. Half pug, half beagle. She loves both breeds dearly. So I got permission from both sides. My Dad and his girlfriend gave me 0 and so did my mom and step-dad to be.
I met this breeder. She lives 40 minutes away. She breeds 10 different breeds. Popular ones. I asked her the price. She said in this economy, and her popular dogs, she will offer less to get more. She said 0 each with a crate and toy the dog has been playing with since birth and the birth video and a photo album of her.
I looked at the selection of her puggles. There is a 6 week year old one as of today. She was a fawn, female. She was so sweet. We can get her next week. I asked my sister yesterday "If you got a dog, what would you name it?" she said "If its a boy, Harper. If its a girl, Nina."
Supplies will be under 0 and I have cut out a lot of coupons, and my cousin has gave me some donations of things.
We will get her next Saturday, when we come back from the beach. It will be My Dad, his girlfriend, My sister, me, My mom and her fiance.
Is this a good plan?:
When we come back, we will stop at a place. We will tell her this is a birthday gift. I told her a bike. But my moms fiance will deliver that to her when she comes home with him. We will take all the dog stuff out of the van. We will put her there. And they can meet.
Is this a good plan?
