And I’m positive that he’s huffing, wherever he is.

He was a character. We let him have free run of the front room at night. If we got up in the night to go to the bathroom, he’d run up to our feet out of the dark to make sure it was us. Once he was satisfied, he’d run off again. In the morning we’d find him curled up between books in the bookshelf. One time he snuck into my husband’s bag and fell asleep (he was discovered before he went to work).

He loved to burrow under my exercise mat. I’d have to evict him before I started my workout, and he’d sit and glare at me. By the time I got to my crunches, he’d forgiven me and he’d crawl up my shoulder and make his way down to my stomach, where he’d spot me. Or at least that’s what I think he was doing when he’d stand on my stomach while I did crunches.

He lived with us for three and a half wonderful years. A character even to the end, we took him to an unknown vet an hour away after he fell seriously ill when our normal vet was closed, and he managed to charm every single person in the place. Even while being in an incubator.

We realized our hearts couldn’t handle another hedgehog after Calvin was gone. We decided he would be our last. Now we have a pound dog, who is every bit of a character Calvin was. We like to think that somehow Calvin sent him to us. Or that they would have gotten along famously.

LOL she just discovered how her wheel works yesterday. I hope she uses it more, because she’s beginning to get Hedge-a-loons ( which I sorts wanna tickle…) HUGE CO fan, hope they do more hedgie stuff!!!

I second the affirmations o’ your Hedgie.

Also of note: Your posted video clip is an EXACTLY perfect mirror of Meg’s orig. video:
Hand Held Hedge (oh, well, she’s eating; but I couldn’t think of a verb for Eating that starts w/ an H altho’ I’m sure there likely is one/ are some)….
That is All. Carry on.

She’s unlike many hedgehogs, ’cause she falls asleep under my chin every night hahahaha….I dare not sneeze.
