Well, I made my first-ever trip to a gerbil show last weekend - the 2008 AGS New England show in Nashua, NH. I had an great time and I definitely plan to be back next year. According to the organisers, there were 150 gerbils entered this year, almost double last year's turn-out. Results are posted here: www.agsgerbils.org/NEShow2008/results.html And the show was mentioned on New Hampshire Public Radio: www.nhpr.org/node/16107Here are some pics. I really wish I'd taken more, but I was quite busy taking in the event and helping out. Judging: The Gerbil Olympics chewing contest: Some of the attendees: Shootingstar's Cloud and babies. I adopted two of the grey agouti pups (Newton and Nash) at the show. A view across Lake Champlain in northern Vermont on the trip home: The weekend went by all too quickly. Looking forward to next year. Linda

Lovely scenery and thanks for the photos, Linda. I'm sooo glad you were there to help at the show and enjoyed it. That photo with the Siamese and PEW are my gerbs. Future show prospects.

Much appreciated, GM. Errrr...photos....maybe. He might be a little chubby from all the sunnies I've been giving him.
