Invisi-gerbil

Nothing to see here. You’re still dreaming. Close your eyes. You did not see a cute velour lovin’ gerbil burrowing a cozy blankie nest who also doesn’t know anything about how those crumbs got in your bed.

That’s some bedtime story, Lauren.

    Humm… I hate to tell you but those are not crumbs.

  5. Rachael says:

    This little guy can leave crumbs in my bed any time. Squeeee!!!

  6. kodalai says:

    I would think that the gerbil would be more interested in REMOVING crumbs from the bed where you ate a snack there :)

    You guys have got to be kidding on this one.This reminds me of the children’s
    clssic tale The Emperor’s New Clothes. Comprende?

      ummm … not really comprende-ing; unless you, like me, thot it was a mouse, not a gerbil; but then i looked again and thot, “well, if you can’t see a gerbil’s tail it pretty much looks like a mouse ( but really it *is* a gerbil)”.

      so maybe the emperor was really wearing new clothes if anyone looked twice, which of course no one did,not even the rude little boy …

    The more I see this kind of critter (gerbils, hamsters, ferrets, etc.) on CO, the more I think I may have to get one someday. After, of course, my ancient kitteh is “gone” because she is adamant: No Other Critters!!

    INTERSPECIES snorgling? What species are the blankets? Cuddlius blanketus?

    listen little gerbil, better hope your bedmate doesn’t roll around a lot in his/her sleep.

    I love the delicate interplay of light and shadow in this picture. It’s pretty, and peaceful, and relaxing…blankies look soft and comfy, little rodent is so cute and cuddly…in fact, I think I will just take a wee nap right now…(head drops onto desk, soft snoring commences)

    Sorry folks. My computer at the time did not show a picture ,but only the text,
    so naturally I thought somebody was playing a joke on the rest of us. But now
    I do see a picture and it has a cute little rodent peeking out from between
    bolts of fabric. Blame it on a Computer glitch,perhaps.
