New 'Family Member'

This is him. Not only does he POOP. He hisses, hops, grunts, scuffles snorts, and pokes around. His left eye is a little sunk in, and his snout is a little off center. The pet store owner told us a charming tale about one of the three hedgehogs escaping and falling from a fairly great height,(he's not sure which one...hmm maybe the one with the messed up little face that we are buying..) and came away surprisingly 'unscathed'. Anyway the dog is spazzed out about the hedgie. Tonight he (the appropriately named SQUINT) rests peacefully, I am terrified he will escape, but I assume the howling dog would let me know..anyway..tomorrow is his first bath.. that will be hysterical. What the hell is wrong with us? Those who know me, don't answer..the kid is happy..what else matters? My sister is trying to get rid of the rodents in her house, and I am buying them. I won't tell anyone how much he costs. Actually all this bluster is partially due to the fact that I think he is pretty cute. Every time he stands up I am surprised his tiny legs support him. hee hee.
