My Chinchilla died today...

He was with me for almost 2 full years, and I'm guessing it was old age. I got him from a friend who couldn't keep him, as she was allergic to him. So she gave me a large cage and toys, food, care instructions, etc... And he's been really cool to have around. His name was Ozzy*, after the rock musician.

Rest in peace, little buddy. <3

Chinchillas are known to get spook easily and become sickly from stress. my wife and I have a chinchilla, and she's had that him for ages. I nicknamed him "codger" because he's nearly as old as me. coincidentally, his actual name is Rodger.

I lost a cat at its first months. They were twins, so only one survived... And I am sad not because the cat died, but the other cat is a complete annoyance...

I'm sorry for your loss.

I know how it feels to lose a pet.
But I don't want to know how it feels to lose a child.
As I see me cats as me kids.

Thanks for the support guys. We'll be cremating his remains on Monday. Heaven help me if one of my cats ever dies... Like @DinohScene said, they're like children to me.

Very sorry for your loss. Poor critter. :( I rescued ferrets for awhile. So heart wrenching when they passed. I am with @DinohScene. My cats are my kids. Can't stand the thought of losing them.

I love them, they are brilliant animals. My rabbit died 2 years this Febuary 2017, as he stopped eating for no reason and lost a lot of weight, so I had to get him put down at the vets, as they tried drugs and nothing worked.

Still gutted he went and I work in a park and see wild rabbits, which always reminds me of him. I just hope there is a place in the afterlife were animals go and you can be reunited again with them, when it's our time to go.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
