The Chinchilla

Yes folks... it is true... there is a furry little creature called a Chinchilla. I was conversing with my friend Alesia last night and we were talking about our psychotic animals when she mentioned that "her Chinchilla died somtime in the last 24 hours"!!! I was like "WHAT IS THAT??" Now you have to understand... I come from a family who thrives on the weirdest animals and so for me not to have already heard about this one was a shock to my poor little heart!!
I looked the thing up on Wikipedia and discovered that this little creature looks sort of like a rabbit only with a super long tail. They can't get wet because their fur is so dense that... it just doesnt work. They clean themselves with dust... "Little boys of the world unite... here is your hero!!!"
So this is a tribute to Alesia's pet Chinchilla... lovingly called Cooter. May he rest in peace!!!
