I am sad to announce the passing of Trixie the chinchilla over to the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday, May 29th in the afternoon. Her illness got the better of her, and she is now free of pain and suffering. She was almost 9 years old, and we were her proud parents for all but the first 6 months of...

...for various reasons, mainly work related. I still have Trixie, she is 8 1/2 now. Mainly been doing pretty well. Past few weeks I have been noticing some different behavior. There have been no changes in her diet. Still feeding Oxbow, giving her hay cubes and loose hay. Using Blue Cloud...

I am sure many of you have seen photos on the web of animals standing watch over a stricken companion who had been hit by a car or some such thing. Well, today, I actually saw it..wish I could have taken a photo. Was driving out of a parking lot today and saw a couple cars ahead of me slow down...

Well, I was planning to take Trixie out this evening...but right now I have the Capitol Fourth special on TV and she has been sitting there mezmerized by it..has been fixated and tail wagging practically since it started. LOL Guess we can take a night off from playing.

I was just in the kitchen finishing up some dishes. While there, I heard a very distinct bark . So I call into my husband "Trixie is barking, talk to her or something". A few minutes later, still more barking. So I walk to the door of the living room and said "Don't you hear her barking?"...

I ordered Trixie one of those tent shaped hanging fleece houses from Amazon. Came in on Friday. When I put it up, she seemed curious by it..looked it all over, climbed on top and underneath. Went inside, kaked a bit and then came out, ran down to her wheel and started barking. She has not...

I want to get a new wood sleep house for Trixie. Rick told me that a friend of his would build her one, no charge except for the wood. I am just wondering if I were to go to Home Depot and buy some un finished boards, would they be OK, allowing that she willbe chewing on it? Rick told me his...

OK, I am going to follow the lead of others here and start a Trixie thread. She has been a lot of fun lately, and while I do not always get pictures, I hope I will be able to paint some mental pictures for you. Here is last night's adventure. Last night, I was feeling a bit of a chill, and...

Rick and I were talking today about what we want to do for Trixie this year...new cage, wooden house, hammock (and you know we already did the fleece.) I mentioned that I would love to stock in a supply of the wood sticks. Just wondering if I bought a big batch, do they keep well? Guess I am...

I put Trixie's fleece into her cage yesterday, and she seems to be taking to it well. Tried to take some pictures this evening, but could only get her to sit nice for these two..even with a rose hip.

I am so excited, went to Joann Fabrics to check the price of fleece, and it was on sale 50% off. So I bought two big pieces, which should work just fine for Trixie's cage..and a back up piece to switch around at laundry time. If she takes to it well, I plan to go buy more..saw a cute paw print...

My brother sent me this. An artist by the name of Calvin Nichols does paper art..using just a pair of scissors and paper. Check out this hedgie..

http://www.godvine.com/Blind-Kitten-Plays-with-his-Toys-for-the-First-Time-839.html This is Oskar, a blind kitty rescued back in July. Here, a few days after coming home, his owners introduce him to some toys..little balls with bells inside. Sure looks like he is having a great time.

Well, it has reached the time when I really need to shampoo the rug in Trixie's playroom. But I do not want to use a cleaner that will leave any residue that would be unhealthy for her. She has peed in a couple spots, and I just want to try and get the stains out and do the whole rug. What...

Found this on facebook, thought it was cute enough to share.

Trixie is definatly getting ready to tuck in this winter and do some reading. She and I have the same favorite author....she is amused by the fact that this author had a dog named Trixie. :)

I had been buying Trixie's Mazuri food at Pet Smart. So, a while back I went for another bag and found it gone. Turns out they have discontinued selling it. The other Pet Smart near me did not have more either. So I was talking with the sales person, also a Mazuri user for her hamsters. She...

Hello, again. Trixie and I took an extended break from here, but we are back. Just had not had a lot of spare time to post. How are you and your chins surviving the summer hear? We are doing well, and luckily the one area power outaqe (during a high 90s day) did not affect us. I got worried...

Trixie is totally obsessed with my socks...will chew and pull on them during playtime. Has anyone made a cuddly toy from a sock for their furkids? What should I stuff it with? Or can I just ball one up and give it to her?

A friend forwarded me this picture, just had to share here.
