Gerbil update

Yesterday I posted the story about how our cat Snowball recently killed one of my son's gerbils.  Well, unfortuantely the gerbil that survived that cat attack, passed away last night.  Ian went to feed his gerbil before going to bed and he found him dead in the cage.  I checked him out and it appears he just died.  Ian was so heartbroken, thinking he had somehow caused the gerbil's death.  It was so sad, because to lose an animal you love (even if it is a gerbil) can be heartbreaking.  Well, we are going right after school today to adopt two new gerbils.  Hopefully, they will survive the wrath of our seven indoor cats.
