Doing some serious blog catch up, here. I have been MIA for I think the longest ever on my blog. I miss it. So I am feeling motivated and am actually going to get some things posted, hopefully over the next few days. If I say it, I will have to do it, right?
The big girls have been begging for a pet for a long time, and our two outdoor dogs are not cutting it. After doing research to find some sort of pet that is not smelly, messy, harmful to our house, or requiring a lot of work for me, we decided to let them get some gerbils. Because gerbils are social creatures, they prefer to be together and we could get three in one cage – bonus.
It was really fun to surprise them on Easter with this note in each of their baskets:
So the next day, we headed to the pet store. What an adventure for each of them to pick one out and get everything we needed. They were SUPER excited to put this altogether and have them home. All I could think of was these little creatures look very similar to what I was afraid of in our temporary home while we built our house. Mouse, gerbil, it’s all the same. But the girls love them, and I have grown to kind of like them too.
Meet Symantha’s gerbil, Cicely:
Hailey’s gerbil, Rocky:
And Addison’s gerbil, Makayla.
Don’t you love these names? They have changed a number of times, but I think they are settled now.
So far, so good with the new little pets.
