Our Critters

This is Derrik's Syrian hamster, Bertha. She is the one who gave birth to eight babies last summer. She is sweet, cute, friendly and energetic.

This is the little black dog who would love to eat Bertha for a snack. We won't let him get close to her, so he bothers Virgil instead. (see Virgil below)

Virgil lives in our backyard. He comes up on the back porch every evening in warm weather to feast on bugs. I'm not sure how many years he's been there, but quite a few. Rocky pesters him some, but Virgil is pretty tough & unflappable.
