Gizmo

I am infatuated with Pat’s new pet. She loves to come out and explore and play, she even takes breaks now and again to check in on us and say hi. Currently the only area that is chinchilla proof is the stairway. So we decided to let her go and see what she did. She loved it! Up and down and up and down it was crazy. She would play with us at the top landing in between the trips, but did not spend much time at the lower landing.

She does have a weird habit of bouncing off the walls (literally), once it looked like she was trying to push the wall out of the way. She does that to us when we are sitting on the top of the stairs, she is trying to get by us, I think she’s just playing because she usually just jumps on our laps. If she really wanted to I’m sure she could make it very hard for us to keep her in the stairwell. Also she doesn’t run from us fast. When she gets away it’s almost like she’s playing it cool, as if she acted like she belonged exploring the room we would forget that it wasn’t allowed.

I am working on Chinchilla proofing the bedroom, but that will take some time. I have to move the computer (which i wanted to do anyway) and try to minimize any loose wiring she can get to. I can’t wait to let her run in a whole room! It will be fun (for both of us)!
