Air Conditioner

Last night the air conditioner finally went. It was on it's last legs for a while and we had not called it in yet, as it still worked unless we did anything to stress the system. Last night we regretted that. Lucky for us it was cool over night so we turned the fans on and opened the windows to let the cool air in, by the time we awoke it felt like the A/C was working again.

Unfortunately it was not. I almost called out because it was going to be HOT and the chinchilla's would die if left in that kind of heat. Pat was getting home early and we thought the A/C was working so of to work I went.

Pat got home around 12 and found 2 very hot chinchilla's as the a/c had either stopped working or it had never started working again. Pat grabbed some ice and blew the cold air onto them and they seemed to perk up. Thankfully our neighbor came home shortly after and let us hide them in his bathroom (he has 2 cats) for a short term solution.

It took quite a few calls as the Breeder who normally looks over the chins was out of town to locate 2 people that could take them in. One was closed at 6PM thankfully the other was another local breeder that could take them after I got home from work (Pat's car does not have a/c). We got them all settled in and were checking out some of her babys when one escaped and was chased by her dog. Pinkey was not happy. She hid and spent the next 10 minutes barking. She was having a rough day.

We left hoping she would settle in after a while.
