Gus-Guss, Lemmiwinks, and Padmae (with pictures!)

These three odd names are the names of my pets. Gus-Guss and Lemmiwinks are chinchillas. Gus is named after the possibly mentally retarded mouse in Disney's Cinderella. Jordan named him. I named Lemmiwinks after the gerbil in the T.V. show South Park. We didn't name Padmae, but she is named after Queen Amidala in Star Wars. It isn't spelled the same, though.

Jordan and his sister, Sonya, pooled their money to buy Padmae when she was a puppy. They bought her from some friends who bred Beagles. So, she is a purebred, but she's not inbred. She used to live inside at Jordan's parents' house, but then they got a foster kid who was allergic to her and she was banished to live outside...in Arizona. Obviously, this is kind of a cruel thing to do to a dog. She lived out there for a couple of years, and then they were going to get rid of her. We found that out when we were in AZ for Cyndi's (another one of Jordan's sisters - he has six siblings) graduation party. So Jordan begged to take her. I did not want a dog, but I gave in because he was acting so pathetic, and I felt bad because she was Jordan's dog originally. The other kids (four of his siblings still live there, ages 12 to 18) were less upset, too, because they knew they'd see her again. But, even though I originally didn't want her, I fell in love with her and I am glad that we have her now. Oh, and I forgot to say that she is seven years old. Below are some pictures of our pets, which we call our babies because we don't have any human babies (thank God):

This is their cage, and the one you can see in the picture is Lemmiwinks.

Padmae in her kennel when we first got her

This is Padmae looking very pathetic when we first got her and she still slept in her kennel.

Padmae curled up sleeping (aww!)

This is Padmae sleeping where she does now, on a blanket in the living room.

Padmae is camaflaged into her blanket! You practically cant tell, but she really is on it.

Padmae camouflaged - you can barely tell that she's on her blanket!

Padmae on camaflage blanket closer up, so you can see her.

See? I told you she was there.

Padmae looking like a true hound dog.

She doesn't spend all of her time on a blanket, though. Just most of it.

Okay, just one more.

The End.
