Hello! I have finally adopted two darlings little chins, Toki and Riku, into our family. I first fell in love with chins when I was an early teen but realized that I wouldn't be able to give them the love they needed until after I finished college and got a little more stable. To my great delight, after finally convincing my husband to allow me pets for my birthday I found these beautiful boys on Craigslist of all places, who were originally Petsmart babies, but were injured and taken in by the staff but now ready to find good homes.
I'm still pretty nervous about being a good mommy for them, but they seem a lot happier now that they actually have some chews, the "second story" of the cage I was given (will certainly need a replacement), and a good dust bath! Granted, they're not 100% comfortable with me, but I've been amazed at how quick they were to come to me and hop around on my hands in the cage or my shoulders (or head). I do have some new mommy questions, but I also know that each little guy has his own personality and I have to learn my way around them individually first.
Below I have "The Palace", then Riku, then Toki featured. Point of Clarification, Riku's surprisingly dark on top, but I don't know if he qualifies as a Black Velvet, or if that dark is still Standard. Thoughts?
