Home, Sweet Home!

A lot has happened since I last wrote. On Friday, my baby Hedgie came home!


My boyfriend Adam and I drove to the breeder's house in Maple to pick him up. It was so exciting. Even though I had seen pictures of the litter, I wasn't 100% sure what my baby Hedgie would look like. The breeder brought out a box with a little ball of quills inside. My Hedgie! Not at all what I had expected. Yes, he was definitely cute. But I was surprised how adventurous he was right from the start. He didn't even ball up when she handed him to me. He was a little shy, and his quills were sticking up a bit, but he really wanted to sniff around and get to know me.

After a quick chat with the breeder we made our way home. When we arrived my whole family was home and excited to meet the new edition. Hedgie was a bit scared by the rediculous sounds my dog was making so I took him right to my room were I could close the door.

One by one my family members drifted in and out of my room. They each wanted a turn to play with him. My mom was first. Unfortunately she had the smell of dog on her hands so baby Hedgie bit her pretty hard. But then he settled down and wasn't as scared. Next was my Dad. He got a special treat. Hedgie pooped in his hands. So we put him in his cage to see if he'd use the litter box. Which he did. I was shocked! He came fully trained.

Then Adam and I decided to cuddle up and watch some old episodes of friends and baby Hedgie cuddled with us.

Here are some pictures of him in his new home!
