While doing some last minute on-line shopping, I had a special visitor come and share his Christmas list with me. Dudley asked for craisins, walnuts, and lots of out time in the New Year. (And no, I’m not bare underneath the laptop, and yes, I am working in bed, in shameful contradiction of what I’ve advised before. Oh hypocrisy, thy name is…)






Is that a chinchilla?
Yup.
Never seen one up close with a human before. I mean, I’ve read about them and seen pictures of them on the ground or something. But still it’s easy to forget or misunderstand how big they’re supposed to be. That’s a pretty cute size.
