the poopiest of days.

Pepper's gone. Out of my four hedgie herd there remains only one. Nutmeg. We'll see how long she lasts without her sister. Hedgehogs don't normally like to live together, but these two were almost inseparable. They had the option to be in two separate sleeping areas, but they moved between them together. When their mother Ginger was a alive they all three slept in the same little igloo hiding spot. They were the world's friendliest hedgies I think. Certainly the friendliest my vet has ever worked with.

When Ginger died I felt stupid for not taking more pictures of them together when I could. Then I said, it's ok, get pictures of the sisters.

Now there's only the one.


Somehow I'm just not as excited about the first day of school as I was an hour ago.
