Today was such a miserable cold and rainy day. My husband was working and it seemed like our entire street had taken off on vacation. Duncan and I decided to head out and have fun anyway. We visited the St. Lawrence Market and bought some interesting food. After that, we took a streetcar to Criter's Castle, where I bought two cute gerbils. They are both male this time. Duncan named the big friendly one Oliver. He looks very much like Rosie. We decided to get a companion who looked very different so we wouldn't mix them up. Lenny (I named him after Lenny from Laverne & Shirley) is small, dark browny black and very fast. He hates being picked up. I'm wondering if I should take him back tomorrow for another friendly one. Hmmm.
If you're reading this, I hope the weather hasn't "dampened" your spirits for the holiday.
I'll be back with more pictures and fun. Check out the Travis video I posted yesterday. It starts off slowly, but eventually an octopus goes flying across the table of a fancy dinner party. Duncan was in hysterics when I played it for him.
The original Oliver (I'm sure this is where Duncan got his idea from)
