Back when we actually kept gerbils, Kirk had blood drawn once from
breaking up a fight. I had it drawn once for the same reason.
When I worked at the pet store, I got one nasty gerbil bite treating
a neck injury on a gerbil that someone had bought for snake food,
then the gerbil beat up the snake so they brought him back! Considering
what he had just been through, I forgave him. :)
