Hi all,
Yesterday I got an interesting call, our
local animal shelter called and a chinchilla was brought in yesterday. The volunteers don't want it to go to a bad home so they called me (after getting my name from the vet's office). I was flattered that they called me, but I didn't think I could take it, its a male,
black velvet (at least from the markings I think it is). I have girl chins so I'm not interested, but I told my boyfriend about it. This afternoon we went and saw it. I was skeptical about going, afraid that if I fell in love with it I would be in a pickle, that and I was afriad it was abused and may not like people, I went anyway. Surprise surprise, the chin is as sweet as could be!!! He's 4 months old and still has a baby face, and is soooo cuddley! (See I knew I would fall in love with it). The owner moved and dumped the fish he had in the snow bank and put the chin in a box and left it by the curb. The neighbor noticed and brought the chin to the shelter. I really would like to smack that guy!!! Anyways Mark (my boyfriend) is going to take it, but he is in the process of looking for an apartment in town, so I'll have to look after it until then. When I get pics I will upload them and show you guys! He is so darn cute!

And he bonded with Mark so well! I wish you guys could have been there! Anyways I will let you know when I get pics.
