Hedgehog Humor.

Well, some of you know I have a sick sense of humor. Here's a case in point: my mom's hedgehog, Spike, hurt his leg. I did some research online for Spike's care & healing -- Mom was on speaker-phone, jotting down notes, since her internet was down -- and then I brainstormed with Gus and his roommate Sean on the best advice to offer Mom, from heating pads to cool damp rags. Sean insisted, after a couple phone calls and text messages with Mom, that I make sure I offered the cool damp rag/ice cube method.

My text exchange with Sean later yesterday evening:

Me: I texted Mom to stick him in the freezer for an hour. That's what you meant, right?

Sean: Yes, but for maximum effect, put him in a bowl of cool water, THEN put him in the freezer.

My friends and I -- we just can't help ourselves.

p.s. Did you know there are many websites dedicated to hedgehog care? For example: http://hedgehogcare.org/. I'm just tickled by this!
