I overheard my sister Natalie and her friend Stephanie talking about chinchillas:
Hannah: What is a chinchilla again? Is it a dog or a burrito?
Stephanie: Um, neither. That would be a chihuahua and a chimichanga.
(Followed by uncontrollable laughter)
Note: Chinchillas are crepuscular rodents, slightly larger than ground squirrels, native to the Andes mountains in South America. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they belong to the family Chinchillidae.

My sister had a pet chinchilla when we were kids. They are actually very friendly and cool, and they keep themselves clean by getting dust baths. Basically, you put this really fine grey powder in a shoe box, set them inside and they flip and flop around until they are all clean and soft. Also, they poop a lot less than rabbits, so that's a real bonus.
hmmm...good to know!
