so… in addition to distracting myself with scrapping this weekend, G and I decided to expand our family!

No no no, not like that people!  Instead, we decided to get ourselves some new pets.  You see, g has been angling for a kittie for quite some time, but honestly I’m not really ready for that (not to mention the baby monster otherwise known as Tennyson).  A few times we have looked at hamsters/mice ect… but seriously I just never saw myself as a rodent owner… well not until I ran into these little cuties….

Meet our new little Gerbils

Seriously, I don’t know why I’ve never known how cute these little animals are… they are almost like teeny tiny little kangaroos with their big feet and tiny little hands!  Also, gerbils are totally sweet and domestic, they surprised us by coming right up to us as soon as we brought them home, and just after a few days, both of these little sweeties will climb right into my hand!

Penelope, is my little lady, she is so sweet, and super mellow and shy for a gerbil, she spends a lot of her time sitting and watching and hiding in her little house.  But also, she is always the first to climb into my hand cautiously, also, way way easier to take pictures of since she will actually sit still!

Evelyn belongs to g and she on the other hand never stops going.  I swear this morning she ran on her little wheel for about 2 hours non stop.  She’s funny too because she just goes and goes and goes, then she cat naps for about 30 seconds, and then goes right back to running around and exploring!  She is also definitely a bigger fan of the little running ball thing (what are those called??) and seriously because she is allllllways going, this is the best shot I could get of her!

She can really roll in that thing! Seriously I see some sort of Gerbil-Olympics in her future! LOL

Anyway, seriously, these are some cute little critters!  I am surprised I never knew how much fun and just how adorable these tiny little pets can be!  These pictures are cute, but I swear they don’t even do justice to my adorable little ladies! (Do I sound like a proud little gerbil parent or what!? hahaha)

Oh also, I posted one other thing today, so keep reading!
