In remembrance

Hours before we were leaving for the holidays our gerbil Marge passed away. Being gerbil owners the past year has taught us a few things:

1. We love gerbils.
2. It's nice to have something to take care of other than a basil plant or beta.
3. Keep receipts. Gerbils are prone to depression and most major pet stores have a two week warranty.
4. Gerbils love coconut huts, sunflower seeds, squeaky wheels, paper towels and toilet paper rolls.
5. Two gerbils may be cuddle buddies one day but enemies the next.
6. Broccoli causes bloating in gerbil guts.

Marge was our very best gerbil friend. We miss her lots.
