Cute Overload

Chiropractor has been called, and hopefully I will score an appointment soon, but I'm so bored with blogging about my thrown-out back. So instead I will blog about the awesome and squeeful fact that last night I got to hold a baby pet hedgehog. Death by cuteness.

kalliejenn2 and her sweetie adopted him yesterday from a breeder. He is about the size of a small croissant. He has bristles, and tiny feets, and a tiny nose with tiny nostrils that flare with each breath. He squiggled in my lap and climbed my boobies. He is swooningly adorable.

I never knew until now that hedgehogs could be pets. I have long wanted a de-scented pet skunk, but the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is not exotic-pet-friendly in the least, so they're illegal here. But I'm glad kalliejenn2 and her sweetie were able to legally get this cuddly, prickly little ball of darlingness.
