Coincidentally, my family had a few gerbils several years ago, and the one named Lucy systematically murdered all the others. We joked that Lucy was short for Lucifer.Kareyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040336462941831870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292239566292573987.post-61899165437594580222008-07-18T10:49:00.000-07:002008-07-18T10:49:00.000-07:00Is that normal to have them eat each other?

Somehow that made it feel a little better, but we are in agreement with Karey that Lucifer seems a much more apt name at this point.Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09051780765300427426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292239566292573987.post-47363235027185892112008-07-19T14:22:00.000-07:002008-07-19T14:22:00.000-07:00So SAD for the kids!I remember our dog got one of ...So SAD for the kids!<br>I remember our dog got one of the baby ducks...it was hard not to be really mad at Daisy for a long time.<br><br>In some ways it was also a good life lesson.JenJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08963750540051671038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292239566292573987.post-8230980182596555652008-07-21T16:47:00.000-07:002008-07-21T16:47:00.000-07:00That is so sad.

We buried them in our backyard. I've had issues since then, so watch EMma and Adam carefully.<br><br>Just kidding.The Busby Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11934984300833591961noreply@blogger.com
