Don't Be a Chicken

I was reading an article about creating a good product to sell. The final word from the author was very funny. He said, "Don't be a chicken." Chickens live in cages. They can't have personalities in there. His advice? Smash that cage and light the barn on fire!

Two Better Than One

We tried to put the new gerbil in the cage with the others one more time. Poor thing got chased and chewed. It was just not working out. One option was to return the new gerbil to the store. That sounded sad. I was getting to like the little girl.

There was one more option. We could keep the gerbil in a separate cage. The other older gerbils were going back to school with Momoko in the fall anyway. This could be our new permanent home gerbil. There was only one problem with this. Our new gerbil would be lonely.

Problem solved. Kit Kat, Momoko, and I went to the pet store. We purchsed the sister of the new gerbil. This sister has read eyes. I thought they would be happy when they got reunited. Nope. The first gerbil was still running away from her own sister. At least we got them a cool wheel to run in.

New Guy on the Block

Momoko's gerbils from school are getting a bit old. She decided to inject some new blood into their cage. Thus Kit Kat and Monmoko went gerbil shopping today. They got a new white one. I was expecting some miniature gerbil. This one is smaller than the rest, but is not a baby.

Kit Kat took all the old gerbils out of their cage. They she let the new one run in there for a while. They say the other gerbils will accept the new one if they smell her scent in their cage. Not working here. One of the old gerbils will not leave the new one alone. The new one's tail got chewed pretty bad.

Luckily Momoko also bought a second gerbil cage. So for tonight, we are goinag to let the new one stay in a separate cage. She got beat up too bad in the big cage. I think the old aggressive gerbil needs a time out myself.

New Arrivals

I stayed home today. Momoko had a new iPad being delivered. And we can have the delivery guy leave that on the front step. The delivery truck came around lunch time. Luckily I did not go out for lunch.

I worked a really long day from home today. Little Kat and Momoko stayed lare at school. I was still working when they came home. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Little Kat carrying in a bish fish tank looking cage. It had three active gerbils in it.

Little Kat gave them some paper towels cardboard rolls. Two out of the three gerbils were going to town playing with the rolls, and chewing them up.

They third gerbil was a bit sluggish. I thought she might be ill. No. She was just a bit tired. Later on she went crazy cleaning one of the other gerbils. Then she was busy creating a bed in their cage.
