Having been in Idaho for almost three weeks now, I still don't have much company while I spend the day watching TV and applying for jobs. So asked my roommates and Shaun if I could get a chinchilla to counter the lonely, boring days.
A couple days ago I adopted Pepper from Petco. He's incredibly soft, cute and fast. We've gotten to the point where I can open the cage and pet him or pick him up and hold him without a fuss.
I'm very thankful John, Arielle and Shaun agreed Pepper could spend time at either location. I am not lonely any more and Pepper is very entertaining all hours of the day.
This here is Pepper. I still need to find out how old he is. He's a treat in my life. I feel happier now and much less bored. :)
