New tenants

This is Ned...

And this is Nemo.

We adopted them from the Humane Society on Wednesday. They're brothers, about three months old. I'd forgotten how hard it is to get photos of young gerbils -- they hardly ever hold still! We named them from the book A. is reading (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) after quite an involved voting process. (Runner-up names were Mario and Luigi, very popular among a certain demographic in our household.)
