fannishlissYesterday my son and I drove out to get another gerbil. We currently have four gerbils -- old man Donnie, who is now aged four!! -- and brothers Armstrong, Aldrin and Naranbattar. That is Naranbattar in the icon.
Our new gerbil is called Misty. Idk why, she is solid black just like Donnie. She is a skittish thing and we had to sign a bite disclaimer. I think if she had not been a biter we wouldn't have driven so far for her. Since we love gerbils so much, we are the proper owners for a nervous, bitey girl. We will soon have her tamed and reassured. She took several sunflower seeds from me already this morning. There were a lot of sweet looking bunnies at the shelter as well, but I don't think my allergies will ever tolerate another rabbit. Lucky gerbils are so small. :)
We had a brief experiment with a kitten. Unfortunately I kept choking. So I had to give the beautiful kitten to my friend, where she is very happy. During the kitten phase we discovered that we really prefer gerbils. I never would have predicted it!! There were also two sister rats at the Shelter. We are not prepared for rats right now, but I predict we will have them someday. The bright little faces of the rats were so adorable.
I'm at 30,000 words on my NaNo!
I have tickets to see the Doctor Who special next Saturday!
