My life is saved! Virtual Chinchillas is being taken over by that wonderful person! Oh, wow... I'm so pathetic sometimes. It was really weird, though... because all the community of virtualchinchillas was freaking out, but here on Gaia everything was business as usual... gotta not play this site when I'm depressed, it just makes me more so...
Anyway, nothing too exciting going on. The foster people STILL haven't replied. They said it could take up to two weeks, but I didn't believe that... now I do... --' But, like I always say, it's worth the wait. Though I'm beginning to just think that's how I comfort myself. Stupid rationalizing...
Oh, I am planning something fun relating to animals. I'm a 4-Her, and I 'need' to do a demonstration at my club... meaning I really want to cuz it gets me credit for some stuff and I LOVE demonstrations! The past 3 years I've had my hamster of the time up with me. That obviously won't fly this year... so I was thinking, do a demonstration about all the small animals!
So my demonstration will be about "Which small animal is best for you?" I think I'm going to have to do a bit more research before hand, but I have a pretty good knowledge of most rodents. The main problem is that most the 4-Hers are little, and I wouldn't recommend any rodent for kids under... say, 5th grade without tons of parental oversight. For elementary kids, the parents have to be ready to take over if the kids gets bored. That's my stance.
The sad thing about not having a hamster up with me (other than, y'know, not having one up with me) is that people will actually pay attention to me. See, I like to joke that the reason it's great to bring a pet with you is because no one actually pays attention to you - they can't take their eyes off the cute little animal!
So, I say this is what my demonstration with my hammy should have been. "This is my hamster, Mocha!" All the kids coo and look at my pet. "She's just over a year old, and she's a very special hamster. See that white mark by her nose? An alien gave her that! That's right, an alien. I bought her from the alien ship that abducted me yesterday. That is, the ship took me to Mars, and I bought her there. Mocha is half hamster, half phoogle. Phoogles come from Venus. Her mommy was a phoogle that was bright orange. That's why Mocha's eyes are black. Someday Mocha will be the size of a semi."
Yep, they would totally buy that... lol, but I have to be serious about this one. And I don't want to give out misinformation, then I would be as bad as the pet stores! So, I have to research... and that's what I'll be doing the night before 4-H. Lol.
