There comes a time in every parent's life, when the kids come to them begging for a pet. We have seem to have hit that stage as Tanner has been begging for a pet. Last year he spent several weekends taking care of his pre-school class pet guinea pig, Snickers, and has since caught the pet bug.
And so, last weekend, we finally gave in and invested in a pair of gerbils. Hence, Max and Vader. And now we seem to be in "Spoiling gerbil" mode. It is amazing to me what is required to take care of such little creatures! From the cage, to the food, to the miles of connector pipes, establishing the coolest little gerbil habitat known to mankind... We have it now in Tanner's room.
So now, in addition to playing referee to kid's fights, we play referee to the new members of the family trying to come to an agreement over where to put the food dish (Vader keeps putting it under the exercise wheel, making a huge noise when it spins... Typical Dark rodent behavior). And so our pet adventures begin.... Click here for more photos of the duo.
