Gemedet is the daughter of Adia & Riven, from their first litter. Unfortunately her original mate, of only 3 weeks, Ashley's Banner D'Arcey from Kate died on October 30th, 1998. But 3 weeks later, her new mate, Ashley's Drawn To The Rhythm (Darwin) arrived. Gemedet thought she loved him very much, but unfortunately she realized a scant month after she married him it had been a mistake. Thus, they divorced.
Gemedet is a lilac, but she seems slightly lighter than a lilac. Perhaps it's because she is Gg? Or maybe it's because she carries c(b) and is in fact a sapphire. I will never know for sure...
Gemedet is one of my sweetest little girls. She's from Adia's first litter. All of the girls (there was only 1 boy) from that litter are very nice little ladies. They're all big, and slim, and sweet = ) She was the first baby to learn how to climb up my arm.
Banner was a grey agouti male who was born on August 27th, 1998. He was bred by Kate Potter and I had planned to register him as Ashley's Banner D'Arcey. This is because his great-grandmother was a REW named D'Arcey (she belonged to Mindy). He arrived at my house in a box on October 3rd, 1998, along with Ashwin. He was such a sweetie, and will be missed dearly = ( See his memorial here.
Darwin, Banner's 2nd brother, was Gemedet's 2nd husband. They were together for a month, and then out of nowhere she attacked him--biting him on the nose and getting blood all over him & herself. Thankfully Darwin was shaken but not terribly hurt but I took it as a sign that this was not a happy union after all =(
So alas, Gemedet is now husbandless. My theory is that she was so attatched to Banner, that she just couldn't accept another mate. Darwin now has a new buddy and is happy, and quite chubby as well.
News for Gemedet!
5/8/99 - Gemedet, my lil baby, is a year old!!
11/19/98 - Gemedet's new boy has arrived! His name is Ashley's Twilight Time aka Darwin. What a sweetheart = )
10/31/98 - I found Banner dead in their tank last night = ( I have no idea what happened = ( At first I suspected Tyzzer's because Gemedet seemed kind of sick too, but now I think maybe it was a stroke. I'll never know = ( Kate has kindly offered to let me have Banner's little brother, a grey agouti male in her current litter. I'll probably name him Darwin. My poor little boy....
10/11/98 - They're together now! Awww, so cute curled up together = )
10/3/98 - Gemedet's mate is here! His name is Banner and he's a grey agouti. He's Adair & Danziger's nephew = )
9/8/98 - I might have found Gemedet a mate!! Assuming Adia doesn't have an agouti spot male before October (which is likely because she's not even pregnant!) I'll be getting a grey agouti from Kate, named Banner. He is the son of Sierra & Whisper, Adair & Danziger's siblings. Cool, huh? They would have at least agouti, grey agouti, black, and slate. Here's a pic of him with his 3 black/slate sibs and 1 red fox sib:
