The proud patriarch, Pookie, who at the time of this picture has had 20 children, 13 grandchildren, and awaiting the arrival of a litter of great-grandchildren (via Angel, of Phoebe's first litter, and his mate Sweet Pea, who live in Oklahoma), and also has 4 "married" grandchildren. |
Adia Kelly, newly "married" to Riven, poses for a science fair picture. |
Ben, head tilt and all, shows the camera his best side = ) |
Ciaran, proud father of 13, is very photogenic today. |
Here is Casper, my brothers old gerbil, a pied dove. He died over a year ago, I believe. Oh yeah, that horrific-looking beast behind him is my little brother Peter = ) |
Here my brother illustrates perfectly what NOT to give a gerbil as a home: lots of cardboard boxes with no lids and easy escape routes, in a house inhabited by 2 cats. |
Dana doesn't like this picture; she always comments "No wonder I look awful, I was pregnant!" Yeah, maybe 3 or 4 days . . . = ) |
Here are Reilly and Eve, also newlyweds. |
Fox is great at being in pictures. Doesn't he look lovely? He wants to look his best for his first litter of babies. |
Grace, why the goofy expression? |
Lautrera Litter 3, up to no good in Phoebe & Ciaran's tank. |
Enigmatic pied DEH Lucy isn't afraid of the camera (actually she is; I have another picture of her where she's ducked behind my hand!) |
No, I'm not strangling Monny. I was merely holding him. As you can see, he DOES have a double chin, my little hamster man ;) |
This is an old photo of Missy's first or second (probably second?) litter. I can only make out Missy, Pookie, and an agouti pup (Gamma? Delta? Sudafed?) |
Reilly, bathed in the yellow light of my dad's lamp. |
Riven Kelly, Adia's young mate, a patched grey agouti. He's cute, he knows it, nuff said. |
Skittish . . .with some goofy black substance on his nose! Where does he find this stuff, really . . . |
All for now! = )
