Chewie!!

With Kelo's passing, we decided that we needed another little furry creature of some sort. After some research, and the fact that Petsmart was completely out of dwarf hamsters, we decided on a chinchilla. Looking in the classifieds we found a 2 year old male for sale. His previous owner couldn't keep him any longer because one of her cats bit off the end of his tail and wouldn't leave the poor little guy along. He was down in Lehi, and convieniently enough we had a wedding reception in Provo. After getting him we decided to name him Chewie, after Chewbaca, and also because chinchillas are quite the chewers!


We also got him a new cage and we've been adding to it over the past month or so. It's a lot better than what he was living in before and there is plenty of space so that we can get another one to keep him company.

okay, normally I'm not a huge fan of small rat-like creatures (sorry, no offense) but he is really cute!
