A funeral was held here at the house tonight for Kit-Kat the gerbil, Delaney's pet since 2005. She lived an eventful life, surviving a tail straightening attempt by Ella 3 years ago (resulting in half of her tail being pulled off!) and lots of fun with her sister gerbil Ruby, Ella's pet who passed away just 2 weeks ago. Both gerbils are buried up next to the front of our house, and have wooden crosses to mark the plots. A neighboring gravesite holds Taylor's pet guinea pig Abbot and her son Costello who belonged to Matthew. They have been gone for about 15 years I guess. At any rate, it was fun to have an unexpected visit from the girls tonight!
