This week has been to busy to post, but last Saturday was the big annual New England AGS Gerbil Show! I showed four gerbils- Eclair the Siamese, Sunburn the argente, George the agouti, and Ansel the black mottled. Eclair didn't place at all, he is a beautiful gerbil, but even though he's been handled frequently his whole life he is somewhat nippy. I can't seem to fix it and it pretty much means he won't place. Sunburn placed third in his class, bringing him up to 6 show points, two more and he'll be my first champion! George placed third in his class, and Ansel placed second. Also two people showed pups they had just gotten from me, and they placed second and third in the pup class, so I felt pretty good about that.
I brought Elvis the rabbit, and he was a big hit, even though he was shedding like crazy that day. Also, I got a very cute colorpoint slate male pup from Moonstone Gerbils, he is very sweet and good looking.
All in all it was a fun day and I look forward to the next show!
