I've found everyone's new favorite pet

Confession time.  I love miniature things.  I think they're mega adorable.  I love mini things so much I wish old school answering machines would come back just so I could own mini cassette tapes. 

Maybe I can just wear one like this girl and look awesome.

So when I saw some new and startling information about a miniature animal, I basically fell in love.  Must know information:  He's an Egyptian now living in Britain, critically endangered (living life on the edge, like a badass), and enjoys long walks in the desert.  For reals.  Oh, and he's the size OF A GRAPE!!!

Try not to faint from the adorableness.  I realize I'm asking a lot here.

How precious is this?!?!  His name is Tiny Tim and he was born to a mom that was rescued out of the illegal pet trade.  I just love his little tininess and adorable squished up nose.  He's so tiny you could basically put him in an aquarium necklace and just walk around town, no big, making friends and picking up dudes.  

Like this, but real, and for turtles.  (This one isn't real, it's just creepy, I checked.)

I know my dream will likely never be fully realized but I can always hope.  Tiny Tim, if you read this, know that you will always have a home in my heart.  And hopefully a safe zoo, too.  To find out more about your new favorite pet, click here.
