My New Pet

So the other day I went to Saint John with my friends. On the way home I decided i wanted to stop at the pet store. I found this really cool pet, a Degu. So I bought it and some food and a wheel for it. When i got home i snuck it into my room, went and got a cage we had and set it up and I left again. We were driving around and i got a call from my dad asking me where i was and stuff. Before he hung up he said "Oh by the way when you get home get rid of that rat" He let me keep it...for now, but he doesnt like it at all, nor does my cat.
