When you're at the zoo....

As many of you know, Rob and I have ourselves a little zoo at our apartment: ferrets, birds, ratties. Well, now we've added to it. Where in the world are going to put more critters? God only knows. But we've squeezed them in. Now you're asking yourself, what did we get and why? Well, Rob and I were at PetCo picking up supplies and they had some abandoned critters up for adoption: guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils. Long story short: we rescued three little black male gerbils and two male quinea pigs. I don't have pics of the gerbils, they're all black and my camera doesn't want to focus on them. :-P When I finally get pictures, I'll have Rob post them. He's thrilled to have the little guys. He's named them: Muad'dib, Duncan Idaho, and Gurney Halek (also known as "nibbley" because he likes to taste fingers that may wander into his cage). For those less nerdy people, these are all characters from Dune. (shhhhh! don't tell anyone that I haven't read it. They might take away my nerd status). The piggies are Montgomery and Mortimer. Monty is a little younger, more friendly, and very vocal (he also likes the way Rob's fingers taste).

Now, I'm off to watch "Rudolph." Yes, I watch Christmas cartoons. Besides, I'm from the "Island of Misfit Toys." :-)
