We've Adopted



We added to our family this past Friday.  Yes, we adopted 2 new gerbils.  Brian decided it was time Bentley had a pet.  Brian wanted to get gerbils, Bentley wanted a polar bear.  Since the polar bear wouldn't have survived in our 72 degree house and the lack of fish, we decided the gerbil might be the better choice of the 2.  We went and picked out 2 gerbils.  Bentley named them...drum roll...Bentley and Brian.  Such superior names.  I'm not quite sure where he came up with such outstanding names, he is very original.  One of the gerbils has a white stripe of fur down his head, Bentley name that one Bentley because it's like his fauxhawk.  Brian is the one with lots of brown, like human Brian's coat he had on at the time. 
I was very nervous to get a rodent that actually lives in the house, after 2 nights of nightmares, I've learned to live with it so far.  Bentley thinks they're great!

EWWW! Enjoy the smell! I think you might should make Brian clean up the poop since he wanted gerbils... HA HA HA! That would be funny to watch!

Oh, P.S. Tell Bentley I think his idea of a polar bear is awesome. I've always wanted one, but was a little worried about being eaten.
