This is why nothing surprises me any more -
Back in March, my daughter's hamster, Princess, died. About a week later, she started bugging me for a new one. Okay - we go to the pet store and absolutely fall in love with these gerbils - they were hysterical to watch and young, so we figured they'd be with us a long time (we had Princess about 6 months when she died.)
Well, we couldn't decide between two brothers, so we bought them both. Tiger and Eddie. Riots to watch.
So, we go away for the weekend - and guess what we come home to?
Three gerbils.
Yep - three. Apparently Eddie is actually an Edwina, or else we have one really weird male gerbil.
So, we'll see what happens with the baby - but now I've got to go out tomorrow and buy another tank, before we're up to our eyes in gerbils...
**sigh** It's always something, innit??
