Distractions, Distractions

Seeing as I don't have any knitting or spinning to show you today, here's some pictures of my gerbils, Annie (golden colored one) and Artemas (black one). Enjoy!

"What's this strange metal thing doing in my nest?"

Gerbils- bring back so many memories. Princess had 2 that quickly became 21 (all in the same cage!). Have fun w/your critters.

Good luck knitting w/o anyone knowing what or for whom. Muy bien!

And your finished cardis are so sweet, the babies will be so darling in them.

So cute! I don't think I ever owned gerbils but had hamsters as a kid. I also had a guinea pig that shrunk. Actually, what happened is I woke up one morning and saw a mini version of my pet and was confused beyond belief. Then I realized that, sometime during the night, my new guinea pig had babies. Two of the, one of which looked exactly like her. It was weird because they were already bouncing around and had open eyes and everything. Completely different than hamster babies.
