George

Mr. Santa! I’m sending you two photos of me because I thought you’d like to see me in my various moods. I can be “in your face George!” or I can be “sweet as pie in your arms George.” I’m entitled because I’m an old guy. Do you know how old? Would you like to know how old? I am FIFTEEN! That’s a record for a chinchilla. But I have my young friend Billy to keep me on my toes. I do sleep more than I used to, but I’m still feisty and will gladly chew on your finger if you offer it to me. Someone gave me up many years ago because I was “too much work.” What balderdash. I’m what they call an “easy keeper”. I’m decorative, I’m cute as a button, I’m entertaining (watch me run and bounce off the walls) and I’m worthy of being cared for.

Now, Santa, as quite the elderly fellow, I could use some extra vitamins in my diet: https://tinyurl.com/vitamins-for-george

And as playful fellow, I’d LOVE a new hidey hut castle – ours is pretty much gone to seed with all the chewing and peeing we’ve done on it (sorry, not a nice story but a true one).  We LOVE to hide and go in and out of this little castle.  https://tinyurl.com/hidey-hut-for-george

Can I be practical for a moment? This is not what you’d call a “sexy gift” but the pans in our multi-story condo have seen better days. Yes, OK, I admit, we’ve peed on them and chewed them, too. But there is only so much scrubbing that can be done on a very old pan. I’ll be your elves would agree with this.  Here is the top shelf: https://tinyurl.com/replacement-pan-for-george 
and here is the bottom one! https://tinyurl.com/replacement-pan-2-for-george

I’m asking for a lot today, Santa. Don’t you think senior citizens should be able to ask for more gifts? I do! In fact, I think they should get one extra gift for each extra year they have on earth! So here is what I’d like – some crunchy treats! Oh, how we love to chew on things, Santa!  https://tinyurl.com/crunchy-treats-for-george

Now we need to discuss an issue: I have not gotten a sponsor in a very, very long time. I’m sorry that I nibbled on the thumb of my last sponsor.  I can’t promise I won’t do it again, but I still think it would be nice to have someone special who cares about me, don’t you?

OK! That’s it! Oh – I should mention that any gift that I get will be shared with my best buddy Billy. If you were thinking that a tiny animal who only weighs a few ounces should only get so many gifts. There are TWO of us who weigh a few ounces and that should count for something, right?

Santa, thanks for reading, over and out!
