Dega-sitting.

My sister, Gail and her husband, went out of town for a week and asked if we would babysit her chinchilla while she was gone. I was happy to say yes because my kids would love a pet but have very mean and selfish parents who would never say yes to something permanent. But we would be happy to do it for a week and give it back. :)

So here is Dega. I am sad we didn't get more pictures. My kids loved watching him run in his ball and feeding him his dessert every night of a single raisin. However they did not want to clean up around his cage everyday.

Look at that cute profile!

Here we are giving Dega a bath. That kids thought it was so funny watching him shake in his dry bath. Yes, it may look like he is getting dirtier but he is, in fact, bathing.
