Sharktopus

A co-worker graciously lent me one of his chinchillas to take care of before I dove face first into getting my own.  I promptly renamed the 3-year old male white mosaic "Sharktopus" because I vowed to name any future pet that after I saw that awesome, awesome movie.  Of course I thought my future pet would be a cat (get it Sharkto-puss?).  Hah I know, I make myself laugh.

Sharktopus lived in my spare bedroom aka soap supplies room and had free range to run and explore a couple hours a day (as well as take some chews out of the door and baseboard when I wasn't looking).

King of the Room

I've since returned Sharktopus, and decided to wait before getting my own chinchilla - as I think my place gets too hot during the summer.  He's just too cute to not talk about - and there's soap curing in the background.
