Uh-oh

I do not have 3 male Creatures, much to the dismay of my Human. I have one male (the gray and white one) and 2 females (the gray one and the honey brown one). The store said that the Creatures were all males. Hisses to them for not correctly sexing the Creatures. My Human will call the store tomorrow and ask if she can exchange the Creatures. We do not want babies nor have the room for another dwelling. If we can exchange the Creatures, the hard part will be deciding who will go back. My Human originally wanted males so perhaps the two females will go back. I hope the other tank of male (hopefully) Creatures are still there. If we cannot exchange the Creatures.... well, my Human does not know what to do.

New Creatures!

I have Creatures in my kingdom again! My Human went to the pet store to buy me more food today. While there she looked at the Creatures. There were 3 tanks of gerbils. My Human asked to look at the male gerbils. A Human took out one tank and let my Human look at the gerbils. There were 4 gerbils inside: a white one that looks exactly like Bernie when he was a baby, two gray ones, and a black one. The gerbils were a few months old and not very friendly. My Human sked to see the other tank of males. This one had 3 younger gerbils: a honey brown one, a gray one, and a gray and white one. All the gerbils were friendly. They are about 9 weeks old and from the same litter. After some deciding, my Human took all 3 gerbils :)

My Creatures are home now exploring their new dwelling. They are using Bernie and Bertie Bott's old dwelling and supplies. I'm sure Bernie and Bertie Bott do not mind and are glad that I have Creatures again.

My Human has names for the Creatures but has not decided who gets which name yet. I will make a diary entry when my Creatures have their names and post a picture of them soon.

It has been awhile since I added a diary entry. There has not been much to write about since Bertie Bott went to the Bridge to be reunited with Bernie. My Human and I still miss Bernie and Bertie Bott very much.

My Creatures may be at the Bridge now but they are still causing mischief. They sent Scooter, one of their favorite Catster Friends, a few anonymous Valentine rosettes. They revealed their identity to Scooter on Valentine's Day. Scooter has diary entires about the anonymous rosettes. I had noticed the missing rosettes but didn't think much of it until Scooter sent me a Catmail. Silly Creatures, mol. Methinks their mischief with the anonymous rosettes is what started the Blues Brothers rosettes mystery and the new Obsidian Starlight rosettes mystery and perhaps other mystery rosettes that have appeared lately.

Bernie and Bertie Bott won a photo contest last May. Their winning picture is at the bottom of my Catster main page. The winning picture is now in the Best of Show contest at http://hhgerbilry.com/gerbilshow1.html. It is photo #2. You can click on the picture for a larger image. Could Catster Friends vote for my Creatures again? You can vote once a day until the end of March. Many thanks!

*Sigh* If things had gone well last week Bertie Bott would be at the healing place visiting the special healing person at this time (10am) today to check on his surgical incision. The special healing person will miss having my Creatures as patients. My Human will send the special healing person a card to thank her for fixing up my Creatures and give the link to my Creatures' slideshow. I know that the special healing person will enjoying seeing the memorial to my Creatures.

Thank you to all the Friends who sent comforting Catmails and gave rosettes.

Bertie Bott will be greatly missed. I know that the special healing person did everything she could for Bertie Bott when he stayed overnight at the healing place. Perhaps it was just Bertie Bott's time to go to the Bridge.

Purring for my Creatures who are certainly causing trouble at the Bridge.

Bertie Bott, my troublesome little Creature, sadly went to the Bridge this morning at 4:30. When he came home from the healing place on Tuesday, he was not well. The special healing person thought Bertie Bott might have a respiratory infection. She gave Bertie Bott medicine to help him feel better. The special healing person did not re-fix the wound since Bertie Bott was not well. Yesterday Bertie Bott was still not well and was breathing very fast. His health declined overnight. My Human and I hoped that he would be able to make it to see the special healing person today but he could not.

The special healing person was very sad to hear about Bertie Bott. She knew how special my Creatures were to my Human. She said that Bertie Bott was very, very lucky to have a loving Human and that future Creatures will also be very, very lucky. Bertie Bott was lucky, too, to have a wonderful special healing person.

I hope that Bertie Bott has found his friend Bernie at the Bridge and together both are getting into trouble again, mol.

It will be some time before my Human gets Creatures again. I will miss having Creatures in my kingdom until then.

Bertie Bott has gotten himself in trouble again. *Sigh* He has managed to open up his surgical incision. My Human took Bertie Bott to the special healing person today. The special healing person looked at the wound and said that she has run out of ideas on how to fix my Creature. But other healing people may have ideas. Bertie Bott is spending the night at the healing place. The special healing person will clean out Bertie Bott's wound again tonight. Tomorrow specialists will take a look at Bertie Bott and try to come up with a way to fix the wound and keep Bertie Bott from bothering it. I hope there is something that can be done for my Creature, troublesome as he may be.

Bertie Bott is feeling much, much better today. Last night he felt well enough to get into trouble again, mol. He climbed onto a tissue box, slipped, and fell quite a distance to the floor. He did not hurt himself and seemed to have enjoyed giving my Human a scare, mol.

The surgical incision is healing well. Bertie Bott has scratched at the area a little but has mostly left it alone.

Bertie Bott seems to be doing well. Last night he felt well enough to play in his playbox for a little while and eat some banana. He quickly got tired and went back to his dwelling to rest. Bertie Bott's dwelling is sparsely furnished right now per the special healing person's orders. All Bertie Bott has is his wheel, his food bowl, his special food bowl, the water bottle, a pile of toilet paper for his nest, and a layer of paper towels instead of bedding. Bertie Bott does not seem to mind, though.

Bertie Bott's belly does not look too bad. The incision line is straight down his belly. Bertie Bott has not bothered the area so far. Methinks Bertie Bott needs a Band Aid to cover the area and help it heal faster, mol.

I visited with Bertie Bott last night. I sat in the window next to the dwelling for some time and watched Bertie Bott sleep. I hope Bertie Bott feels better soon.

Bertie Bott's surgery went well! The special healing person called a little while ago. She cleaned the wound and glued it shut, mol. She did not trim Bertie Bott's teeth because he was under anesthesia a little longer than he should have been. Bertie Bott will be able to come home later today with some pain medicine. The special healing person wants to see Bertie Bott in a week so she can check his wound. I hope Bertie Bott does not start picking and scratching at the wound when he feels better.
