Summer 2013 Preview

Boy, are we excited for summer! We've reconnected with our Uncle Seymour, who we haven't spoken to in a gerbil's age. He's got quite the around-the-world trip planned for this summer, and we gerbils have been following his travels, which he's posting on Instagram. He's found the perfect way to travel around the world for free... hide in people's carry-ons (which are PERFECTLY sized for gerbils, and usually full of snacks!).

An Exciting Day for Gerbils

Wow did we gerbils have an exciting day today!  Arthur hasn't been feeling himself for a few days and when the humans examined him yesterday they realized his teeth were all overgrown.  This can happen with us rodents because our teeth continue to grow throughout our life.  Usually our teeth wear down as we chew, but things can go wrong and then the teeth get long and make it hard to eat.  So it was off to the vet for Arthur to have his teeth trimmed.  All of us got to go because we didn't want Arthur to feel scared at the vet by himself.

Spring?

What an odd week of weather we have been having... first rain, rain, rain, flood, then snow and now cold? Come on, spring, we gerbils are ready! 

Book Match 2013-14

You know what else is ready? The 2013-2014 Book Match list! New titles have been chosen, old titles have been removed, and the the list is out! The Book Match Nooks are currently being updated with the new titles (as we gerbils type)! Come in and get a head start for next year's season today!
