Adoption - Boris and Baker
Sunday, December 09, 2007
Maxine has always let it be known that she wants more children. Since we are both getting on a bit and the risk of having children increases when you are over 40, we have decided to adopt two tiny gerbils.
We only went out to fetch some filters for our fish tank and saw Boris and Baker up for adoption in our local pet store in Stafford. Apparently their owners had to go back home to Poland and had put them up for adoption. When we saw them we both fell in love with them and decided they had to come home with us.
Boris and Baker have both been given a big welcome into our home and have already become accustomed to being taken out and handled. Boris and Baker are brothers and have lived together since birth 1 and a half years ago. Baker is the larger of the two, but not by much, is lighter in colour and has a distinctive black mark on his nose. Boris also has a dark mark on his nose, but by comparison his darker fur hides it somewhat.
Here's a picture of the two little cuties:

Dzien dobry. Boris? Baker? Not Polish names surely! How about Woz(niak) after Steve Wozniak of Apple Computers and Copernicus after Nicholas Copernicus the astronomer.
What a double act Woz and Nick! Do widzenia.
