HedgeSpa

by Meg on May 8, 2006

Dahlings, There is no better way to start the week than with a few spa treatments. First, get your quills moisturized. Twice. They bring out your beady eyes.

Second, your dainty paws could use an apricot scrub and peppermint oil massage. Those paws are tiny, and you carry the weight of the Cute World on them. They must be refreshed!

Lastly, and most importantly, I recommend BeautyHedge nose cream, for a supple, come-hither schnozzle. Try it, Dahlings!

22 Madera 05.08.06 at 5:49 pm

Lucky Hari. He gets spa treatment while all I get is a Monday.

Hedges don’t know how good they have it.

23 Faith 05.08.06 at 6:08 pm

Seriously, I want a hedgie now!

24 Jan Spencer 05.08.06 at 6:09 pm

“Oh, and last but not least, the cucumber over the eyes, for the lasting longing looks you give your fellow hedgies…they make great hor d’erves too!” (Do hedgehogs eat cucumbers???)

Hedgehog Hors d’Oeuvres??? That’s it! I’m calling the Mrs. Tiggywinkle Squad and they’re going to go Beatrix Potter on yo’ butt! ;)

32 A thinker 05.08.06 at 6:35 pm

Recipe for hedgehog hors d’oeuvres includes carefully removing ALL prickles first…

33 M- 05.08.06 at 6:43 pm

But who will do the massage for the hedige? Everyone needs a good massage at the spa…

35 jaypo 05.08.06 at 6:58 pm

Meg, your comments are AWESOME!! Second only to dear little Hari, who truly deserves the royal treatment. Peppermint and otherwise…

36 Chris - Kitten Picture Blog 05.08.06 at 7:03 pm

OMG – That’s utterly beautilicious.

37 Theo 05.08.06 at 7:05 pm

Good grief. I need my snorgoggles.

38 AuntieMame 05.08.06 at 7:07 pm

I think I need to borrow the white pup’s bifocals, because I thought A thinker said to remove all pickles first, and I’m down with that, since I hate pickles.

I’m not sure of their efficacy as a beauty treatment, though. The acidity might be good for the complexion.

39 A thinker 05.08.06 at 7:17 pm

LOL @ AuntieMame!!

40 Elizabeth 05.08.06 at 7:27 pm

Is it just me or does anyone else thing that the adorable hedgie looks like he’s dressed up to play the virgin mary in the All Hedgie naitivity scene?

41 Rhea H. 05.08.06 at 7:32 pm

Holy Mary Hedgehog, Elizabeth, I think you’re right!!

44 E. Collison 05.08.06 at 7:49 pm

Hari looks so tranquil – and yet, most hedgebaths are not without struggle…

I’m not feeling too quick on the draw today re. humorous comments, but I’m mos’ def’ lovin’ this hedge.

45 HaileySqueek 05.08.06 at 7:50 pm

Ahhhh! What a cute little face!

46 Tony James 05.08.06 at 7:55 pm

Variations on a theme suggested by Elizabeth (weeeeeeeeeeee, I’m going to hell!!!)

“And the webmaster came in unto him, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Broadband is with thee: blessed art thou among hedgies.
And the webmaster said unto him, Fear not, Hari: for thou hast found favour with Meg.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive a website, and bring forth a cult, and shalt call its name CuteOverload.”

47 adorababy 05.08.06 at 8:17 pm

that hog looks smart

also v. low BEF for a hog… the irises are *sigh* hazel

48 M- 05.08.06 at 8:57 pm

And for penance you shall do 20 Hail Hedgies and apologize to Brother Theo for commiting the first post sin…. again….

49 jaypo 05.08.06 at 9:04 pm

Tony J, you just sent me into a coughing fit lmao!! I’ve been sick at home for a week and this place has *tewtelly* saved my sanity.

50 Josh 05.08.06 at 9:09 pm

The danger, of course, of having your hedgehog in with your towels is that horrible day when you can’t find your loofah and you’re sooooo laaaaazy and he’s riiiiiight there…

51 mariser 05.08.06 at 9:10 pm

pewsonawly, I think Hari is in the preparatory stage to become a “hedgie burrito” (cf. April 25, 2006 ‘kitten push-up’ post).

I’d gladly give hedgie a tummy massage. Not a back massage, though.

61 Dustbunny 05.08.06 at 9:47 pm

Looks like hedgie’s had his quills highlighted too, for that chic streaked look.

BTW, I could swear there was a whole section on the CO main page yesterday written by Theo, summarizing the best posts from last week. Did I imagine that??

62 little miao 05.08.06 at 9:50 pm

She must be the daintiest darlingest hedgie possible!!

I saw it too, Dustbunny. I seem to remember a birdie in a towel.

63 Theo 05.08.06 at 10:09 pm

Dustbunny & Little Miao — Huh. I missed it completely. I did write something up, and Meg was doing some re-formatting; I just figured she ran out of time before it wasn’t Sunday anymore.

[time passes] …OK, I just checked on it in the TypePad management screens (took forEVER to load! yeesh), and it it looks like the post did get prettied up with photos & colors & an intro by Meg. It’s also been re-titled “The Sunday Wrap-up: 5/1 to 5/7″ sooooo I’m guessing it may show up NEXT Sunday, presumably along with a new one.

Meg? Weigh in?

64 A thinker 05.08.06 at 11:24 pm

No, no, Theo. What happened was exactly what you predicted: with three comments, that post went into a recursive meta-feedback comment loop, or whatever you said. It disappeared into the infinity of CO, only to randomly reappear (sometimes) as one of the navigation links at the top of the page, only to disappear when you looked for it again. Three comments were just too much–they tipped the balance.

65 Carlisa 05.08.06 at 11:47 pm

What a cute little guy. That reminds me, my little boy has a report to do on a book called “Hedgie’s Surprise” by Jan Brett that we need to do tonite. Just showed him this pic and he goes “yaaaaaaawwwwwwww”! He’s addicted to CO, too.

66 jaypo 05.08.06 at 11:48 pm

So do we get to see them or do we have to wait till next Sunday?

67 Aubrey 05.09.06 at 1:19 am

“After a day-long visit to her favorite Barb-er Shop, Hari is living proof that a detailed beauty regimen is worth the trouble! Beginining with a hedge trim, she continues with a frost, eye sparkle treatment and full body wrap, to prolong that shapely hedgie-sillhouette. And, lo, she emerges – spikey and adorable!”

I’ve never had the urge to snorgle simething so spiny before…….

I should seek help for this problem, as it could lead to a very…uncomfortable situation in the future, should I ever run across a hedgie.

86 pheral 05.09.06 at 8:51 am

well that’s just adorabibble.

And i do declare, it wasn’t Meg, yon missing post must have been sucked into a SPACE ANOMONAMONAMANAOMALLY!!

She’s just trying to cover for the anomanamonamanaomally because it’s a lifeform and she’s fallen in love with it and wants to save it’s poeple who live on the planet Squidge…

98 Katharine 05.16.06 at 2:28 pm

Hey, great, thanks for posting my photo. =) I was wondering if it was cute-worthy or not. I showed Hari, and he huffed with joy..or perhaps anger for disturbing his sleep. I don’t know which.

99 Joy 06.04.06 at 3:46 am

Just too cute for words. Even my hedgies are jealous! Nothing like a freshly bathed hedgie giving lazy eye glances while all wrapped up in a snowy white towel. Breaks my heart every time!
