It is so funny watching K9 play with Nicky the chinchilla. The problem with Nicky is, he doesn't really want to play with people. Oh, don't get me wrong, he likes people. He likes it when they're in the same room, going about their business and letting him go about his. Once in a while, if he's in a good mood, he'll let you scratch him behind the ears. That's the kind of guy our Nicky is. Whereas K9 wants to play with his pet all the time. (What he really wanted was a dog.)
Which leads to scenes like this one.
I come into the living room and see K9 standing in the middle, and Nicky tearing around the room at a crazy speed, obviously trying to get away from K9.
"Nicky Smoky X..(our last name)!" says K9 in a very strict voice. "I am really disappointed in you!"
As K9 was petting Nicky today (Nicky was squirming the whole time, trying to get out), he said:
"It is easy to see that God created chinchillas, they're so adorable."
"True," I agreed, "but I guess He could've made them a little more friendly."
