Day 63.  This picture proved harder to get than I had thought it would.  This little guy posed great but he wouldn't hold it or be still.  But, that is the nature of gerbils.  They are only still when they are asleep.  They are most active at dawn and dusk.  And during those times they run, and eat, and chew, and see how much noise they can make while they do these things.  They are also very curious.  If they escape it doesn't take much to find them because they come out of hiding to see what is going on.  If you hold out your hand they will come up to see what is in it, even if they know it's not food.  Through out our marriage we have had dogs, cats, ducks, a rabbit, fish, turtles, Guinea pigs, a Pygmy hedgehog, gerbils, and don't even get me started on the puppies.  Ok, I like variety.  That's a good thing though.  If you only like one type, how do you have friends.  Or more importantly, how do you minister to people, because, people are all different.  Some more different than others, and it takes all kinds to make life interesting.
