hedgediddlihogses- too sweet!

Why aren’t their sweet, tiny hedgediddlihogses in Hong Kong?WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY????

I’ve had 8 hedgehogs over a number of years and most of them never wanted to go “tubing”. I’ve given tubes to play and it’s like, phfffftt, they rather go hide or poke their noses in my tools. My favorite hedgie used to love to burrow in steel wool. I have seen other hedgies go tubing and it’s hilarious watching them. I recall one stubborn hedgie that did not like it if you pulled off his tube and he would really work to jam that tube back on his head. Hedgies are weird animals but ever so lovable. As for the dirty legs, a good wheeling session will get them all poopy and then it’s time for a hedgie bath! Hedgie wheels are unspeakably poopy after a good run and it’s a lot of work to get them clean.

Tu be or not tu be
That is the question,
Whether it is nobler in the mind
To suffer the Quills of outrageous fortune……

Someone more clever than I, can finish this. :0}

I always think of Suessical the Musical when I hear the word noisicle. Noisicle the Moisicle! I demand someone write it. Andrew Lloyd Webber, get busy!

…nosicle!!!

I didn’t realise hedgehogs noses looked like that! I thought they were just little black balls lol. Its a sort of half nose, half muzzle. Cute!!

Okay, I have to do that again.

Dear Yitzysmommie- Clean words cannot connote how I feel about your loss, so I’ll try some dirty ones:
“mulch”, “pond scum”. No, those don’t do it. I’m so sorry for your loss, and my best wishes to you for getting through the first few days. It is a grief process so unlike that for people. I think it is more intense. We are here for you, yeah, we are!

“Thistle”? Does he speak with a Glaswegian accent?

Condolences, hugs and Baroo @ Yitzysmommie.
