you see the oldest girl, who happens to be a huge animal lover went away to college & in the process of packing, asked mom if she could take L. or me or both of us along with her. of course, mom said no - something about dorm room fines & frat party abuse, but whatever.
whew, that was a close one! i've already been to duck school & it ain't pretty - for me or the school. i like it right here, thank you very much.
well, the die-hard animal lover can't last 2 semesters without a non human mammal to care for & so we now have *him*...aka the "grand hog" or "Hedge"...around for summer break.
he & i don't see eye to eye, for sure. first, he's short. way to short for sport! second, he's rude. oh, you heard that right. when i try to buddy up to him, all i get is a nose full o' spikes! OUCH!! and can he guard the house?? not a chance - he lives in a cage & the loudest thing out of his mouth is a puff of air. will he fetch? do tricks for treats? comfort the sick? no, no & no! what's the point?the crazy peeps just go nuts when he is awake, saying riduculous things like "how cute" and "let me hold him." are they insane??!?! do they not see the *spikes*?
& now they have acquired a new "hog device"...a ball that allows that crazy lil' creature to run free through the entire house, & into me when i am sleeping comfortably on the floor.
oh yeah, *now* he wants to play...safely ensconced in that plastic thing from which he can taunt me but i cannot reach him. hmph!!all L. & i have to say is when does the fall semester start?

YIKES!
Be careful not to get in those quills!
I never knew one could have a "hegehog" as a pet.
I'll stick with my traditional baby, thanks!
Too funny...don't worry, "Hog" will be gone soon enough and the house will be all yours once again!
