...What's that? You want another post about a ridiculously cute creature doing everyday things adorably? Okay then.
On Sunday I went over to my friend Jenn's house for some crafting and catching up. First I met Fufkin, her chinchilla, who is the softest ball of fluff EVER. He also once devoured one of Jenn's purses overnight. No joke.
After some knitting (me) and jewelry-making (Jenn), it was time for Fufkin's dust bath. Chinchillas roll around in volcanic ash to absorb the natural oils in their fur, and Fufkin turned into a blur of fuzz and poofy dust once the box of dust was in his cage. He'd run around for a minute, sit in the dust for a minute, then madly spin for what seemed like .003 seconds before beginning the whole process again. It was insanely cute. And really hard to photograph -- but I finally got a Fufkin in Action shot.
Now if Jenn could just train Fuf to walk on a leash, the Circle of Cute would be complete.
And hey, I just realized Jenn already added the super-cute necklace she made on Sunday to her Etsy shop. You should get it -- proceeds go toward chinchilla dust baths!

I must share that I was craving something cinnamon-y after having churros earlier this week, and decided to bake snickerdoodles. When thinking of where to find a good recipe, I thought of your blog and that link! -->http://www.giantjeansparlor.net/archives/2007/04/nothing_to_snicker_about.html
Thanks for helping satisfy my cinnamon craze!

You are the greatest photographer of pets ever! Not that you're a slouch when it comes to photographing food. You should be more famous than you are.
