Looking to critters around the lake.
Emmer caught a dragonfly.
We walked in the rain.
Enjoying our time with Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie.
Every little visible safe water access became a must stop activity.
With continued rain threat we opened to go to the mall and have my Build a Bear fixed and visit the bookstore. The bungie bounce is a must for me!
I am really enjoying the peace and auiet here in Asheville.
Hedgie had a fantastic day. After reading many blogs, articles and whatnots it was determined that Breighton should start by holding Hedgie on a towel or fleece cloth until he is a bit more comfy. Hedgie like this idea greatly and really opened up tonight.
Hedgie actually was SO calm he let us pet him very gently.
Hedgie has been a bit icky since his car throw up and pooping in his house while traveling. We decided tonight was a good night for a bath. Of course like any baby he made a little dropping on the sink. Don’t worry Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie we washed the sink and sanitized well when we finsihed.
After hos quick rinse we dryed him the best we cold and he really perked up!
One happy kiddo with his hedgehog. B wanted to hold hold and hold some more. The clothes really helped him overcome his fear of the spines/quills. B collected about 10 spines/quills tonight to put into his Hedgie Quill Pottery he made at City Museum in Missouri. We will take a photo of that tomorrow.
Grandma Jo even held Hedgie.
Mommy tried to get Hedgie to peak and lay on his back. No luck with this yet. No nipping today. The closer to dark outside the less he seems to nip.
We boughg some remnant no pill fleece today. It makes a nicer liner than the towel we were using. We will have to make some for his mansion when we get back to Florida. Daddy is busy coordinating the new cage while we are out of town. Thanks Daddy!
Hedgie loves his house and his tube. He will need a bigger tube before long as he barely makes it through now. We need to weigh Hedgie soon too.
Learning a lot. Loving him greatly. Glad to see the boy (Breighton) smiling more instead or wincing in pain and fear.
Well, Hedgie safely made it to North Carolina. Only a tiny bit of car sickness. He was not a happy hedgie upon arrival and has taken to nipping and biting when being held. We left him alone to relax and not feel the motion of the car. Aftet a few hours of downtime and getting used to the different smells we did our late evening Hedgie holding. Hedgie nipped Breighton pretty hard but B was a super trooper and only cried after Mom took Hedgie for a minute.
things to google: hedgehog biting, hedgehog litter training, hedgehogs in space

Sorry the photos arent great but they were taken through his current container.
We took a final trip to City Museum before we left St Louis.
I enjoyed the skateless park.
We spent lots of time with Ms. Marion, The Snowflake Lady. We could spend all day crafting with her.
We made Amish Rag Dolls! Mom’s got made into a hair clip!
We love Ms. Marion as much as City Museum.
