Wrapping presents

[mousehole]

Wrapping presents with the assistance of the chinchilla in 10 easy Steps.

Step one: Lay out presents, scissors, tape, wrapping paper and ribbon

Step two: Scold Chinchilla for chewing on the presents.....

Step three: Precut tape into one inch pieces so you can hold wrapping paper in place with one hand and tape the seams with the other.

Step four: Realize that the Chinchilla has walked over the row of tape and is now frantically racing around trying to dislodge the sticky from it's fur.

Step five: Spend 20 min. trying to corner frightened Chinchilla to remove the tape

Step six: Repeatedly miss catching the wee little fuzzbutt but eventually get the tape off it's foot.

Step seven: Return to the presents, keeping a close eye on the furry little guy.

Step eight: Spend 15 min searching for the ribbon only to realize the Chinchilla really, REALLY likes the pretty colors and has made a nest under the armchair with the bows.

Step nine: Finish wrapping and place presents under the tree.

Step ten: Relax on computer only to be disturbed by the sound of crinkling paper. Chinchilla is under the tree removing the bows... Did I mention that he
Really REALLY likes the ribbons.

Here's a pic of me playing tug of war with Pita... I want my bows back!

Now you know the real reason we buy chinchilla play pens.....not for them, but for us to hide inside of. Love your story and furbaby

Normally he has a play area but because of the Christmas tree we had to reshuffle the furniture. I didn't think it was fair that he missed out on his exercise time... I didn't realize that meant it was going to be my exercise time instead...
