This is a topic to discuss the pets you have, have had, or want in the future. Personally I feel that I've always had a connection with animals, and of course I love seeing them and hearing about them, so post pictures and stories!

Recently, my very impulsive friend bought a chinchilla. He's in the National Guard (left for Germany 3 days after getting this thing) and also works off-shore welding on oil rigs (28 days out, 14 days in), so my girlfriend and I were basically given a chinchilla to take care of. I absolutely love this little creature now.
Originally, I didn't think my friend would find one available around where we live, but it turns out there was a breeder a few hours away that said she had one available. So my friend brings me along for the journey to get a chinchilla. Eventually we get there and the lady reveals to us why this particular chinchilla is for sale; she was retired from breeding because she would eat the heads off of her offspring. Isn't that cute?
Her name is Lilith.
