Gerbie is back

Now here is a funny story.... We have a gerbil that Cy bought as hawk bait when he was trying to catch Twetie, his red tail hawk. Anyways Jess and I did not want Gerbie to become lunch for Twetie (even though the rat that was bought did become lunch) so we kept him in the fish tank that Caroline gave us. He has lived there for 2 years pretty happily until the other night. I heard a small amount of noise through the baby monitor but did not think much of it until the morning when Gerbie was gone. I thought for sure the cat got him, as you can see here Coon does like to go 'fishing' but he was not dead anywhere and that is Coons favorite thing to do is put his trophies in the middle of the floor. So after a little thinking we deducted that his sawdust pile had gotten pretty big and he probably jumped out (he has been working on this trick for awhile). Anyways this morning Abby, Jess's sister was staying over and ran upstairs and asked Jess if Gerbie was white with red eyes, and of course he is.... so after about a half hour chase they caught him put him back in his fish tank... The end! (I hope).
