The Gerbil Family -- Introductions!

Hello Everyone! While I lay awake at night listening to my gerbil family run their marathon I have decided that I should probably keep you all posted as to their exciting stay with me....

Let me introduce the Heintel Gerbil Family
- Ginger -- the geriatric mom
- Ebony -- the geriatric dad
- 3 Babies -- not bestowed names yet (I think there is 1 male and 2 females)

Let me remind you that I was informed that both Ebony and Ginger were geriatric and should they DIE, they are to be tossed out in the trash and forgotten... (Do people really send their kids to the babysitters with such emotion??)

"Here Babysitter, Little Johnny has been sick this week, if he happens to die, please just dig him a hole and try to forget the stench of his rotting body, thanks!"

Anyway,

I am proud to announce that it is day 4 and the gerbil family is ALIVE, happy, fed and watered, and running their marathons every night! I wonder as time goes by if I will ever NOT hear them running their marathon so that I can fit in just 4 hours of sleep -- maybe just one night of sleep -- PLEASE!!
