chinchillamemorial

I remember the first time I met my Pericles. I was at my first chinchilla field day down in Frazier Park, CA... it was April 2006. I saw him on the show table, the cutest little beige puffball I'd ever seen. I fell in love with his sweet face and his handsome looks right away. The judges did as well and he went on to win Grand Show Champion. Right after the show, I went up to his breeders, Gary and Margot Neubauer, and bought him. I was so excited! He was so beautiful and I was so in love. That was also the day I got my first real chin bite... he got me good... but I forgave him for that as I'm sure he was terrified with all the commotion going on.Peri, you were my sweetie freckled starry-eyed boy, my silly hand-mounter, hoarder of the apple sticks, and father to many beautiful babies. I will miss you so much and never will another chin be able to replace you.I just wish I was able to save you but you just faded away too quickly. I know Dr. Turner did all you could and I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you while you passed. I am so sorry, Peri... You are the first chin I've lost and it hurts so much. But I know you're now at peace and I must take comfort in that.RIP my little Peri-boy.
