This is my chinchilla, Bong Water Pussy Sonichu.
Kind of a long and stupid name, but it makes her memorable. It makes the heads turn when someone asks about it, or asks just what animal she is. She's a weird one! Chinchillas are pretty weird.

To end off the love I have for Bong Water here, the little rodent that keeps me going through life, here's a poem I wrote about her a while back.
and off she goes
from the cage to the floor
scurrying around
tracking hay
from inside the home
it’s whatever
vacuum it later
the dust and the dung
the grey lady leaves
from a luxury bath
settled on top of the cage
it climbs
there it is
the grand prize
shaking shivering and
cleaning, specks wiped off
running off everywhere
under my bed and on the desk
she pauses
where off too next
wondered for
only a second
a simple thinking process
survive and eat and
all of that is taken care of
so she wanders to the wires
and tugs them around
teeth threatening fate
to have a little fun
despite having plenty of wood
that’d be much safer
to dig into
and into the cage she goes back
by now a few hours ago
the cycle is endless.
but being annoyed with her would be
a little too much
after all
a rodent does not know any better
but to live in the present
and sip on
plastic water bottles
run around in the cage
and reach the top of it
a door closed behind
please don’t knock your food bowl over while i sleep
