Happiness Is... Enjoying Little Things
Gerbils: proof that good things come
in small, furry packages. - Anonymous
Beau Bean was Fav Grand/D’s until, somehow, he got adopted by G a couple of years ago. When I told him so, he just ran in circles—guess he was okay with it.
He has luxurious soft sand-shade fur, white underbelly, long and narrow back feet, and a tail that’s half his body’s length.
Favorite time of day? Hands down, it’s chow-time.
He’s like a tiny furry ninja—silent, swift, and always plotting his next snack…
…whether it’s a juicy blueberry (left) or Panda Express rice - huh? wha’??!!...
… or a Queen
of Greens Lavish Leaf lettuce (right).
Is a vegetarian permitted to eat animal crackers?
Actually, he also loves Brioche and sour dough bread, Chuy’s chips, Fortune cookie, and banana strings. If he had a diet plan, it would be called All You Can Chew.
I’ve always wondered, though, why he snubs regular gerbil food. I suppose, he thinks meal is just a four-letter word for snack.
Yup, like all rodents, Beau is a dedicated chewer – of toilet paper roll with a few sheets left on, cardboard of all kinds, and brown wrapping paper.
A natural burrower, this little critter keeps busy creating tunnels in his bedding.
My house isn’t messy. It’s just a live-in art installation.
He is a delight to watch when he moves
into and decorates a new hideaway (empty square tissue box, in this instance).
Or even when he stands on his back feet with his front paws in the air, angling to get a better view or a better sniff of anything that catches his interest.
A brave tiny critter, too! He stands
up to larger felines who have expressed an interest on him being lunch.
Stand down, Minnie – he doesn’t give a
crap of what you think!

Beau thinks he’s a dog.
He fetches my
heart every time.
Let me tell you, having him has been a wheel-y good time!
