One less troll here on DU...
Our beloved Chi, who wanted nothing more than world domination. Passed away today. He lived a full, and happy life of 18 years. In his spare time, he would troll us for peanuts.
Miss you buddy.

....for the loss of your furbaby.
I'm sorry for your loss.
As for little Chi ~ I have been "babysitting" a chinchilla for the past 4 years and I just love the little guy ~ though I am terrified of him and he is terrified of me. Still he begs me for a little raisin and what can I say? I just wish we could cuddle more but I suspect he came from one of those 'chilla mills and was not held much and I do not know how old he is. But we get along, he looks at me with those big eyes and little feet clinging on the his cage and what can I do? Why give him a raisin of course!
Funny you should say that you did about Bartcop because on the Bill Press chat just this morning I was lamenting how much I missed him. I am sure he would have LOVED to have some fun with T-Rumpf. 
RIP Mr Bartcop!
Cat in Seattle
I miss my bunnies too
Hoping the other side of the Bridge had a nice pile of peanuts...
I still miss the chinchillas we had when I was a kid. They got out of everything Dad built for them to live in but they were so cute and cuddly. We had three - Mama, Papa and Baby (we were kids :shrug
. We never knew how old Mama and Papa were. Baby eventually escaped and even though all the neighborhood kids hunted for him we never found him or his body. I like to think he lived out his life in freedom even if he was lonely.
It HURTS, and hurts bad. May Chi be blessed with all the peanuts and love he can handle in that next dimension.
have seen some nice trolls on Labyrinth but said to see one like this go
What a lovely single life form of pure love.... {{{{{{ hug }}}}}}
He lives in your heart forever...
go play with all our fur babies. They are all waiting for us. Sorry for your loss of your baby.
He was sheltered and loved and lived a long life. His face was lovable and his eyes trusting. Cute little hand. I can only imagine what it felt like to hold him.
RIP, little Chi.
Condolences, papa Glassunion and familly.
You gave him a long, happy life.
But 18 years old? I am so impressed...must have lived the life of a King.
I've got a good friend and neighbor that just lost her 14 year old rescue chihuahua...she's been taking it very hard.
I wish they all lived forever.
Glad you enjoyed it
life. Never long enough but please take comfort in the knowledge that he was one lucky guy!!
I once thought of getting a chinchilla, have had many varied pets in my life and chinchillas are so cute (and soft), but I had no idea where to ever find one. If I had only known that they could live for 18 years, I would have looked harder! He sounds like the perfect pet and he was incredibly fortunate to have found you...
RIP lil guy..
Now I wish I had. I also didn't know they lived that long. I loved my ferrets, which also poop a lot, and you need to be able to handle that, as they need to be able to run free and get a lot of exercise. A lot of people don't know what they are getting into when taking on a unique pet. I didn't have to worry about cats finding loose ferrets, as the ferret is a predator and the cats leave them alone. I'm thinking you had to watch the cats carefully around Chi?
I'm glad you are getting another one. I know how hard it is to lose a little guy who has lived such a long and happy life.
I have never felt a chi's fur...I know it has to feel soooo good. I have some pretty soft-furred cats and can't even imagine anything softer than that.
RIP little Chichi. You were one of the lucky ones. You were well loved!
RIP ...
He was so cute! I adore that picture!
I'm so sorry for your loss, and so glad that he had 18 absolutely wonderful years with you (and you with him).
