How cute!!! I love your dog and the chin! I have a black/tan dachshund myself. Your gerbils are adorable too. I have three hamsters, and I'm really thinking about trying gerbils next! I love their tails 
On the Island of Misfit Toys...

Hey everyone. I'm fairly new to the forum. I had an account a while back with the user name Of Misfit Toys, but something happened and I couldn't access my account anymore, so I created this new account.
I have several furbabies that occupy my living space with me. Although my zoo is about to get much smaller. Right now I have a chiinchilla, 4 gerbils (I'm gerbil-sittitng for my best friend while she's gone until July, so two of the gerbils aren't actually mine), and a dog. Oh, and I also have a 36 bowfront aquarium with four fancy goldfish. I'm moving in a few months, though, and will only be allowed to take my dog and my 10 gallon betta split tank. My family is helping out with everyone else so that I know they'll be well taken care of and I can still see them whenever I want.
First up is Munchkin. She's an 8 year old wilson-white chinchilla. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old.

Next up is the puppy, Mycah. She's 7 years old now and I've had her since she was 7 months old. She's a black lab/dachshund mix. Although she's got the size of the dachshund and the looks of the black lab.

Then there's my two gerbils, Riley and Nicky. Riley is the tan and white one. Nicky is the black and white. I got them when they were barely 6 weeks old. They were really too young to be separated from their mama. But the pet store didn't care much about that. Now they're about a year old.

I would include pictures of the goldfish, but they don't like having their pictures taken. They refuse to stay still long enough for me to get a good shot that isn't all blurry. But that's my zoo! I'm enjoying having them all with me for as long as I can. I'm gonna miss the gerbils and chinny when my mom takes them for me.

Sounds like she may have been mistreated..and am glad you found her My Mason is very protective of me, on his last visit to the vet, I had to leave the room because Mason wouldn't let him near us...he was totally wild and crazy! Once I left the room he was a totally different dog. Luckily, my vet totally understood 'cuz he had one that was just like my Mason, and he gave me a referal to a trainer would could help "both of us". The most abuse Mason has ever suffered is having to eat dry dog food!
He also told me that with a good diet and excercise, this lil guy can live 20 years! Sure hope so, he is just the love of my life.
