Day 35 — Chinchilla- Haibun Journey Beauty Each Day
My bit of beauty today is the soft grey fur and whiskers of our pet chinchilla. She has a large cage under our staircase. It is large enough to stand up in and I often get in to clean the cage or to spend time her. It always brings smile when I say the word bath and she rushes to the door to jump in her dust bath.
Bella use to live in our kitchen. We put up a screen door at the entrance and made everything chinchilla proof. She had a small cage to put her in during meal times. This worked out great until she chewed up my inside window shutters, hence the large cage.
