This is Gizmo.

For those of you who don't know, he is a chinchilla.

Gizmo 01

Gizmo is a standard gray male.

I don't know when he was born because I got him at a pet store in July 97,

he was about 3 to 4 months old then, so I use 04/01/97 as his birth date.

"A pet's love for its family is forever, without qualifications, without reservations, pure and unselfish. We, the caretakers of these wonderful creatures, must never forget that our pets are dependent on us for their well being. We provide their food, water, shelter and health care. In return, they wag their tail, purr in our ear, cuddle next to our body, play with us, lick our hand, protect us, provide us with company, someone to talk to when we are lonely, cheer us up when we are blue, sing us a song and sometimes, save our lives. They give much more than they get. Imagine how it would be if the whole world acted like our pets." [Unknown]
