Ok Nevermind, its taking too long to upload here, I gotta get to bed, Early day at work tomorrow! 

I Think He Notice Us

As quoted by Angelina!

We just got home with our new chinchilla, Buddy!  Boy is he going to be a great addition to our home.  First night and hes already so calm and very lovable.  We have yet to take him out of the cage, that will be at least a day or two away, but he's letting us pet him, so that's a good sign.

I was trying to explain to Angelina that before we let him out he needs to get to know us.  She says to know what?  So I just said that he needs to get used to us, and to know that we are nice people.  Its very hard to explain "get to know us."  :-)

Well after we gave him new food and water and she was able to give him a raisin as a treat, she said "I think he notice us now, can we let him out to play?"  It was very cute to hear her say that, and she's trying so hard to get us to open that door to let him run. 

Currently she is showing him all her toys, and letting him smell them, its very cute to watch.  And to hear her say "Buddy" all the time melts my heart.  We made a great decision on bringing him to our home!  Such a great feeling seeing our daughter so extra happy!!!

Side Note:  For some reason when I put my camera card in the camera it says it needs to be formatted, and in turn if I do that all the pictures will be deleted, and I do not want that.  So we used the FlipCam, and will transfer the pictures from the card to a cd tomorrow!  Just trust me, he's adorable!

A New Addition to The Tripp House

We are getting a Chinchilla tomorrow evening!!!



About 6 years ago me and Mike got our first pet together.  We purchased a Chinchilla, and named him Iomi, together.  He was very young, and grew on us instantly.  He was alot of work, and demanded alot of attention. 

About a year later we were expecting Angelina, and figured with a new born, we couldn't give everything to Iomi that he needed.  When then gave it to my sisters co-worker, who had been wanting one.  It worked out wonderfully.

Fast forward to just a couple of months ago, me and Mike started tossing around the idea about getting another Chinchilla.  We went to the pet store to take a look at them again, and see what Angelina's reaction would be.  The start up costs are pretty expensive, but something we knew we wanted to do again some day.

Facebook can be a wonderful thing!  My sister read on her page that a co-worker of hers was asking if anyone would be interested in a Chinchilla.  Of course I told my sister to get in contact with her, that we would be very interested.  It turns out that this gal works two jobs and can't spend the extra time with her chinchilla, and wants it to go to a loving home. 

It turns out that we go pick him up tomorrow evening!  He's 4 years old, loves sand baths (which is something that Iomi did not like) and the best part is, everything comes included with him, all for Free!  We are all very excited.  We told Angelina about him already, and she went and got her stuffed Chinchilla to play with. 

I got my work cut out for me tomorrow as I have to clean up the house, and rearrange to make room for his cage.  Busy Busy!
