Gary, Our Chinchilla, Loves Dog Toys! (Cute Chinchilla Story & Video)

July 19, 2019 By Johnny Salib 2 Comments

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Been a while since I've said that, eh? As you may have gathered from my lack of updates and posts in general, I've had a very busy month. Between sound designing a show, recording and releasing new music and just trying to function as a human... I've found myself out of the house more than I wish I was.  It's a luxury to be … [Read more...] about Gary, Our Chinchilla, Loves Dog Toys! (Cute Chinchilla Story & Video)

Having Gary, Our Chinchilla, for a Year (Loads of Chinchilla Pictures)

May 13, 2019 By Johnny Salib 4 Comments

It's been about a year since we adopted Gary and let me start off by saying that time has really flown. Since we don't actually know how old Gary is or when his birthday is we've chosen to celebrate Gary's birthday on his "gotchya day." The first year with Gary has had such a large learning curve. While not everything has been easy and it has involved a lot of googling … [Read more...] about Having Gary, Our Chinchilla, for a Year (Loads of Chinchilla Pictures)

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, There isn't ever a dull day in the Pets Overload home and yesterday night was no different. Although all of our pets have been doing well, we just experienced a medical scare with Gary. As we were cleaning Gary's cage last night we noticed that he was squinting his right eye. I picked him up immediately and peeled back his eyelid to see … [Read more...] about Gary, My Chinchilla, Has Bloodshot Eyes and an Eye Ulcer

Taking Some Time Just to Be Grateful for My Pets (Cute Cat & Chinchilla Story with Pictures)

February 14, 2019 By Johnny Salib 4 Comments

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Some weeks you just get extremely lucky and get two days off of work because the weather is just so bad. That week was this week. I got to spend the time with all of my furry babies and man, oh man was I ever grateful for it. These past two days, Kalista has been getting even more attached to me than usual. She's been spending about … [Read more...] about Taking Some Time Just to Be Grateful for My Pets (Cute Cat & Chinchilla Story with Pictures)

Gary Is Excited to See Me (Cute Chinchilla Story)

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, I've already admitted to how hard it can be to bond with small mammals such as Chinchillas, but today has marked a big step for me in the Pets Overload household.

Trying my Best to Bond with Gary (Cute Chinchilla Story)

November 29, 2018 By Johnny Salib 4 Comments

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, As mentioned previously, although Chinchillas are very affectionate, I feel like we haven't fully bonded with Gary. He still gets startled whenever we try to pick him up, although I will also admit that he seems to slowly be getting more used to us. I've been trying to make sure to take some time to sit next to Gary and talk to him … [Read more...] about Trying my Best to Bond with Gary (Cute Chinchilla Story)

My Partner Left Our Chinchilla’s Cage Open… (Cute Chinchilla Story)

November 3, 2018 By Johnny Salib 10 Comments

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Although not common, we've had run-ins with runaway pets. While I would normally take every "runaway experience" very seriously, this one is a bit sweet... in an odd way. A few months ago I woke up, fed the cats, fed the fish and started getting ready for my day. You see, I have to stay with the cats as they eat, so I usually make myself … [Read more...] about My Partner Left Our Chinchilla’s Cage Open… (Cute Chinchilla Story)

Dust Baths with Gary our Chinchilla (Cute Chinchilla Story)

October 11, 2018 By Johnny Salib 6 Comments

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Adopting a Chinchilla was one of my favourite decisions to make so far. As our tagline is "watch our house turn into a zoo" I've made it my mission to take in any surrenders that I can. The first few days of having Gary I was terrified I was doing everything wrong. We already had a sad experience with Twitch, our hamster who passed away … [Read more...] about Dust Baths with Gary our Chinchilla (Cute Chinchilla Story)
