Free chinchilla to a good home!

Anyone looking for a nice sweet docile chinchilla? Kiona is perfect for you. She is a sweet grey colored softer than velvet chinchilla. She is nearing the age of two on July 31st. Mind you chinchillas can live for 20 years. She happens to be very friendly at night when she is awake due to her nocturnal behavior. Kiona is wonderful with children as well as adults. She hates rainy days, halloween costumes, vegtables and pinon nuts.She loves almonds, raisins, peanuts,dust baths, her mom and chew toys. She also loves to chew up my window blinds,my flip flops,my printer buttons, my laptop cable, (which is why my computer is not working now), my new oak bed and whatever else she can get her teeth on which is practically everything! For this reson I have to blog from work and my phone because Kiona is the reason why my computer won't work. Take a close look at the teeth picture and let me know how such small teeth can cause a world of damage. I will be allowing interviews to give me some good ideas of prospective parents for her. P.S. she does give kisses and will wake you up for school by crying if you are running late. P.P.S.Interviews are mandatory.

From grapes to yummy Jelly

A couple of weeks ago for my birthday my little sister and mom and Dad bought me an awesome power juicer. So I found some grapes on sale and juiced them and then froze the juice. Yesterday my mon and I thawed the juice and made some jelly with it. We ended up making tons of jelly and ran out of pectin and sugar before we ran out of juice! We made grape jelly and grape cranberry jelly and they they turned out awesome. The color in the pictures doesn't look quite like normal grape jelly colored however, I realized I had used red grapes instead of concord grapes but it still tastes fantastic. Oh yeah I learned two things yesterday, doubling the recipe does not ruin it and liquid pectin is awesome! In case anybody need to know.

Rebecca the vampire in training

Today was a very exiting day in the Rebecca and Lila household. We made blueberry jam, it was quite delicious, went to meeting,then went to sprouts for more blueberries and saw cour and Melanie and their adorable children,then came home. When we got home Rebecca was sighing on her lack of experience drawing blood. So I lent her my special pencil! Just kidding. I did even worse I volunteered to be one of her patients! It was kind of funny because we used our bathroom for the alleged doctor office. Rebecca had a hard time getting the guts enough to stick her best friend with an 20 gauge needle. However, she managed to do so perfectly. I have to say I was nervous myself. We both were laughing so hard it was funny. She did a perfect job without even blowing my vein. I don't know, she did a good job drawing blood and she does happen to work the night shift maybe she really is a vampire.
P.S. We saved my tube of blood in our refrigerator in case anybody wants to see what a good job she did.

Kiona's First Valentines Day Party

Today Petco the pet store hosted a valentines day pet party. So, my little outgoing Chinchilla wanted to go so I called out in celebration of the event. Well actually I'm getting over a nasty virus too.(I think my computer gave it to me). Anyways this party was free for all pets. There were a picture booth, pawprint booth and a decorate a valentine cookie for your pet booth! However, the cookies I think were only edible to dogs. So in respect to Kiona's strict chinchilla diet we did not participate in that one. To make a long story short Kiona as tired as she was let everybody pet her and love her. One little girl told me that she [Kiona] was so cute she just wanted to snuggle her up and take her home. Later Kiona got her pawprint done and a picture of us taken. Before the picture the employees handed out cute little pink barrets so I clipped one to Kiona's hair she looked so cute. The picture turned out well but I took a picture of a picture from my phone and thats whats on the blog. Sorry, This pic does no justice to the original.I might get some copied and mail some out. Anyways it was a fun party its even funnier to see how other people are just as crazy about their pet as I am. For example the lady behind me had a cute cat all dressed up in a pink dress with a pink collar and a pink bow. So I told her "Oh she is so cute" meaning the cat of course. And she proceeded to pipe back that her cat was a boy and I said "oh I'm sorry I was just judging by the Pink dress". She told me that her cat really likes pink. Come on people please if its not a boy Don't put him in a dress especially a pink one! It confuses everybody! to say the least it was fun and as always everybody loved Kiona. She was certainly a celebrity being the only chinchilla and not to mention how adorable she was.

I'm Going to Smash my computer!

My computer is absolutely going to drive me crazy! It only goes on the internet when it wants to and it sometimes recognizes my internet card! So when I really want to use it the most it acts retarded and when I least expect it to work it works! I have ran so many virus and spyware tests its phenominal and just when I am about to call my computer doctor it decides to work like a champ! uhh its so frustrating that one day I will smash it ! (I hope you are not listening sweet little computer!) It did recently find a trojan virus however but it locked it up in virus jail so I don't know whats wrong. Anyways not much more exiting than that.

Its snowing in Tucson!

So today hanging out at my apartment with my roomate we heard a loud raining noise so we ran out and it was hailing and then began to snow. Later I ran back to grab Kiona to show her snow but she got snowed on and started to shiver.The first thing she did after I brought her back in was sit under my lamp to de-thaw. I don't think she liked it. The only pic I have is the one off my phone of Rebeccas car so don't critique the quality. Its so crazy this is Tucson!

P.S. I'm not sure how kosher it is to blog twice in one day?

Kiona Goes to pre-school

The other day Kiona made another milestone in her young Life, she went to her first day of preschool before age two. Ok I know i know there really aren't pre-schools for chinchillas but you know if there were Kiona would be in the best private school there was. Anyways Kiona was really just a victim of a mystery box presentation sort of simular to show and tell. To say the least Kiona was said to be the best mystery box ever! She was so adorable (despite the fact she was extremely crabby from waking her up.) She let every kid hold her and the they put her on the floor and she hopped to every kids lap. It was so cute! When it was all said and done I went to put her back in her carrier and she bit neck probably out of spite for waking her up, however I didn't care. When she got home she instantly snuggled back in bed and was later rewarded with new toys and lots of treats.

Bye for now! oh apparently my computer works now. It ended up finding a trojan Virus! -Lila-
