Hedgeventure

I can’t believe it, but SOMETHING made me type "Hedgehog swim" into Google image search, and I STRUCK GOLD! Look at "Bam Bam", the adorable Hedge, getting his Park and his Bath on. Good Lo’.

And after a lovely day at the park, it’s: "Calgon, take me awaaaaaaaaaaaay! glurgle glurgle"

  5. Del says:

    finally some hedgehog cuteness! i don’t remember seeing a lot of hedgehogs getting featured here before. :)

  6. Woods walker says:

    I hope hedgehogs aren’t like their German cousins Igles. You could hear the things eat twenty feet away.

  7. pheral says:

    they absolutely are as noisy as those Igle things you mentioned. Hedgehogs used to come eat at the binbags beneath my bedroom indow when i lived in the town, and it sounded like a hoard of pigs eating another hoard of pigs alive.

    re post: so cuuuuute!

    ::goes to park to find hidgehog::

  10. rainey says:

    OOH HEDGEHOG. It’s perfectly adorable. I didn’t know they could swim!

    …that is, until they grow up a little and start pricking you with their spines…:o

  11. finn says:

    if hedgehogs enjoy swimming in bathtubs, surely my cats will!!

  20. Lucy says:

    This is the sort of picture which is so cute i could cry. Brilliant!

  21. Kara says:

    Reminds me of my little boy. He doesn’t like water at all, though. Not even a little bit to rinse his paws off. I do now wonder if he could swim, though. (Not that I’d try it …)

  22. Karen says:

    I hate that I know this, but that top picture is exactly the shot and park that you see in the opening credits of naseatingly-cute sitcom Full House. I’m not sure if that makes the picture more or less cute…depends how you feel about Bob Saget…..

  23. rainbow says:

    omg – the wittle bambam is swimming – too cute – i want to eat it up.

  24. Theo says:

    “i want to eat it up.”

    Yeek… prickly.

  25. Ginger says:

  26. Sarah says:

    Of course it’s the Full House House! I declare that every hedgehog who sets its adorable foot in the city of San Francisco must pose in front of the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square!

  27. mary says:

    YAY for hedgehogs. Seeing the pics you posted on here a bit ago made me want to get another-they are awesome SUPER CUTIE pets :)

  34. kelly says:

    My hedgie HATES the water. I need to bathe her a lot because she lost a hind leg with her previous owner and her little behind drags a bit. Whenever I put her in the sink her legs start moving like she wants to run, even though I am holding her by her belly and her feet aren’t on the ground! It’s so adorable in a “aww poor baby” way.

  35. E. Collison says:

    Thanks for the photo links – these animals are the epitome of cuteness!

  36. Meg says:

    Oh SNAP, Theo!

  37. Andrea says:

    Wow, lots of unusual animals this week. Meg, you’ve outdone yourself.

  38. Papaya says:

    Hot damn I want a swimming hedgehog!!

  39. dangerine says:

    Ooh! It’s not just an awesomely cute aquatic San Francisco postcard shot hedgie, it’s an awesomely cute aquatic RENEGADE San Francisco postcard shot hedgie.

    Hedgies are illegal in California. :(

    SO! UNFAIR! I wanna!

  40. Thalia Took says:

  43. Scully says:

    Oh my…I was nearly dancing around in cutified glee on my recovering broken foot when I saw the first two pics, but then I clicked on the link showing the Hedgie tongue and I’m afraid I fell over it was so unbelievably gorgeously cute! Thanks once again for the ‘Awwww’ Factor

  44. cool dude dog lover says:

  45. Ashley says:

  46. sf native says:

    FYI:
    The photo in the park was taken in SAN FRANCISCO in Alamo Park. It’s on all the postcards. It’s the perfect backdrop for this very extry cute guy.

  47. Hunter D. says:

    It seems that *real* hedgies have stolen Sonic the Hedgehog’s spotlight, eh? Real shame, cause Sonic is pretty cool…
