The Sunday before last had an animal theme, gerbils in the morning and swans in the afternoon.
Emma has been asking about pets forever, but hadn't mentioned them recently. We thought (hoped!) the excitement of starting at a new school had distracted her. Except when we went along to school for a meeting with her teacher, she pulled out two books with a "Thought you might be interested to read these...". Two books about hamsters.
Ok, let's get on with it. Now we've looked before for gerbils but never found any in Hong Kong. But this time a search in Google and up popped two for adoption at the SPCA. So off we went pronto, and now we've got two new family members. I'm especially pleased to report they're two brothers, evening up the balance of the sexes here in the Bellis household.
