Roscoe The Gerbil

CJ's wonderful Aunt Georgia sent us some Christmas money to buy Bella a nice Christmas present. We thought long and hard about what Bella still wants for Christmas that we haven't got for her yet. All of you know that Bella LOVES animals but we just aren't ready for a puppy and mommy is allergic to kitties. So, last night, we decided to go to Petco and find a nice, low maintenance pet for Bella. After talking to the nice lady who works at Petco, we discovered that gerbils are nicer than hamsters, and the bigger the gerbil is, the more likely he is to let you hold him and play with him. So we showed Bella the different gerbils and she pointed to the big, fat, black gerbil, which we have named Roscoe. Roscoe seems very happy in his new home, and Bella is very happy that she now has a pet. Thanks Georgia!
