Letters to my Hedgehog

[Annie&Tibbers]

Dear lovestruck, cleaning mommy,

YOU STOLE MY WHEEL! IT IS GONE FOREVER!! MEANIEEEE!!!

Oh, it's back? And now it smells pretty. Huh. Okay, I guess you're alright after all. Just don't you ever take it again.

Huff, puff, grump,
Truffles

(I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! He was ordering me to type on his behalf! You know how bossy hedgehogs can get; it's not my fault!)

Dear Little Man,

I love you. But I am terrified to cut your nails. And must you continue to burrow into my vagina/upper thighs when we sit on my bed? I love you, and I know you dont mean it, but your quills are not the softest things on my thighs. Its ok, Ill let you sleep there for a little, only because you are so cute

Your wheel cleaner

Dear crazy one,

I love your new addition to our evening routine, in which you run over to me when I approach your playpen after cleaning your cage. It makes me feel the hedgie love. But I'm beginning to suspect that it has less to do with me and more to do with the fact that I am the one who rescues you from captivity. Maybe, just maybe, you could give me a snuggle one of these evenings, instead of immediately running off in search of stinky delights?

Much love,

Your warden

Dear Ivy,
Not that long ago you were your daddy's favorite because you were SO sweet. What the heck happened? Don't worry. I'm not giving up on you.

Love,
your very persistent, determined mommy

P.S. I'm really glad you're using your wheel again.

My sweet Prim,
I know Rebel (the dog) is terrified of you and therefore you REALLY enjoy chasing him around the room, but honestly, he's afraid of coat hangers so you really should find a better animal to torture. At least pick one that would be a challenge.

Sincerely,
the mommy that likes to push her hedgies onto more challenging endeavors

My stylish hoglet,

I understand you adore high heels, but I am certain sitting on a toe and burrowing your head under the heel-arch is not a comfortable way to nap.



Love,
Your snuggle-sack-sewing human

Dear picky little hedgie,

Do you think that you could try something besides mealies and crickets? I know that you love your bugs...but maybe...just this once...you could try a fruit or veggie? And I promise this time, if you start to anoint, I won't interrupt you with my squealing like the first time.

Love,
Your human (who just happens to have several treats you could eat...)

[Annie&Tibbers]

My tiniest of friends,

I am being SO GOOD by not interrupting your sleep to steal you for cuddles right now. You should reward me with snuggles in a few hours when you wake up.

With great self control,
Your very patient human

Dear my little monster,
Why do you tilt your head up and show me your fangs so much? Why do you love the dark? Why must you bite so many things? Are you a monster or getting in the Halloween spirit?
Love, your scared or proud human (for which ever you are doing)

Dear my Ollie boo,

I'm sorry about taking you back & forth from my mom & dad's every week. even though it's only a 10 minute car ride, I know it is stressful for you. Thank you for being my bestfriend that never leaves my side throughout all of this. I try to hold you super close to my chest so you won't get scared, but you still ball up every time we reach a stop light. It's ok, i'm terrified of cars as well.

love,
your loving human.
