Lucky Chinchilla


We love our silly chinchilla
He gives us a constant thrilla.
When he gets a prune,
It keeps him in tune,
Much better than any vanilla.

Okay, so now I'm officially in a silly silly mood. Lucky is a First Holy Communion gift to my son from an awesome friend named Adam. Adam tried to raise chinchillas with little to no luck. His first chinchilla, named Chinchi, needed a mate, so Adam bought Lucky. The pet store folks stated that Lucky was female, without a doubt. Wrong. Apparently they weren't looking too closely. When Adam put Lucky in Chinchi's cage, he expected love and kisses. He got a chinchilla war between two territorial males. Poor Lucky, being smaller, got the worst of it. After Lucky (whose original name was Angel), healed, Adam found him a new home with us. He truly is Lucky. He has his own TV to watch in the playroom, and watches it every chance he gets. He loves to perch and chews on anything within tooth range. We are lucky to have our Lucky.
