I got my chinchilla a month ago and he had changed me so much! so i just wanna share my little story xD
i was 16 before i got bambi, and i loved to play online games. I guess you could say that i was a gaming addict. The first thing i do when i get home from school is turn on my computer and play games while doing my homework. On weekend, i would litterally spend my whole day on the computer, (like 15 hrs!) and i would yell at my 6 yrs old sister when she wanted to play the computer, and i didn't let her play. I did not talk to my parents at all and i would never go out with them. Then i'd leave my bf on msn alone and play my game
And the worse of all, i would spend hundreds dollars on gaming. But then...
since i got my big fat chinchilla Bambi, he had changed me so much!
I was still playing my game a little for 1 week after i got him, but now i completely quitted. My happiness is to look at bambi and pet him ^^ The first thing i do when i get home from school is to say hi to bambi, i'd say bye to him everyday before i leave for school and say nitess to him before i sleep. Everyday i'd sit near his cage in my spare time to play with him, and to do my homework/reading/using computer so i can look at him play and sleep, he makes me so happy
And instead of spending my money on gaming, i'm now saving my money to buy things for bambi and for his bank incase he needs a visit to a vet. And since i've quit gaming, i get time to spend it with people around me, who i rarely spend time with before, and that makes me much happier than before. My parents now like me more because they don't see me spending all my time on the computer. Now my sister can play on the computer, and we also get to spend time together when we play with bambi. Bambi taught me the value of money and how to spend it right, and helped me realize that there are wonderful things in life that i was missing out. He's the best thing that ever happened to me, i dont know what i'd do without my baby xD
I guess a pet can teach children to become more responsible =]
Thanks for listening to my story
