Disadvantages of Having Pet

It was september. The day was quite sunny and little bit windy. Tdifferent than in Poland. I knew that was a new beginning for me. My dream finally came true. That was the live which I have always wanted. Without parental care, without boundries. Also living in such big city as Chicago was more than I could have ever asked for. I got my first job, later I rented my first small flat. But I relized that was something missing in that beatiful picture.

The first nights were disaster. My sweet chinchilla made a competition for itself to jump and much as much noise as it could. The cage was shaking and strange sound was comming out from it. Defenately my furry friend won its competition. I did not get the sleep at all for the first few nights. In the mornings I looked like living zombie. It was awful.
