A Portrait Of Hope With Me

I just love this photo of me and Hope, because we're both looking up at the camera. Hope gave me a little bit of a scare last night when she didn't feel well for a bit, but a short time later, she was up running around like her usual self. Thank goodness! At her age (almost 4 years), you don't take anything for granted! In fact, my friend Libby from Shawsheen River Gerbils has a gerbil age calculator that shows that tomorrow Hope will turn 99 years old in gerbil years. What a tremendous life she's had! She's come so far since I found her at the humane society several years ago!
