I’ve been meaning to get a video of the real hedgehog bonking around with her head in a toilet paper tube (we call it tubing) and post it for petblogging monday but I’m tired and lazy today. One of those bad days in my head yesterday. Long story, maybe I’ll write about it. The good news is Mr. Man’s weekend starts today so maybe we can go do something fun.

In the meantime my new friend Erin sent me this rockin little pet. Go pet her and see what she does. Add a “huff” sound to when she jumps and a wet wiggly nose and you’ve got a pretty good animated example of what real hedgehogs are like.

Oh, and I found zippy in the driveway the other day but it was fine! I stopped Cody from backing out of the garage so the zipster could run back to the sideyard. I’ve been making him check the driveway every day before going to work lol. The good news is Zippy was on the back porch this morning munching on the fruit I’d put out the other day. It was a bit dried out so I put some cut pears down and Zippy was happily holding the fruit still with its front claws and munching away on them. Despite the crazy construction going on behind and NOW in the next-door neighbor’s yard. No idea what’s going on there but they had a backhoe running. Yeeks. Well, at least I don’t have to stick needles in Melon while the house is vibrating anymore. She’s doing great! Bugging me to feed her the nastyass tinned kipper snack as I type.

edit ten minutes later - Well, the UPS guy rang the bell when he left Winter’s greenie subscription and guess what else I found on the front porch? Another baby turtle! Looks like we have a front yard and a back yard Zippy! I should give him some sliced pear as well now.
