It’s not very long or involved, but it’s a cute little interactive time-waster that doesn’t waste a lot of time.

Soooo…true love can’t resume until…plumbing problems are fixed? I suppose on some level that is true, but it hardly seems like a romantic Valentine’s Day message. 🙄

It’s not plumbing!

Those are “gerbil tubes”. True love can’t happen until your gerbils can get together. Or something.

Oh, right, the Habitrail tubes. I never had hamsters. I did have gerbils for awhile, but they were in a large rectangular cage. I thought Habitrail tubes were more for hamsters, because gerbils managed to eventually claw and chew their way out of anything that wasn’t made of glass or metal. Little ratlike bastards were kind of cute, but they had some serious choppers on em.

Cute. It took me longer to figure out what I was supposed to do than it took to do it.
