karma

has anyone seen a hedgehog?

he's smallish with white and black prickles.
he has a pink underbelly and a black nose.
he is very skittish and does not play well with others.
he answers to the name vlad the impaler.
he is also a highly skilled escape artist.


i rescued an abandoned hedgehog from a nearby pet store.

he was in a paper bag on a shelf under the cat food looking more than a little miserable-
well at least i think that's what misery looks like on a hedgehog.
they offered it to me for free when i was inquiring about rabbit food.
i clearly did not think it through.

i brought it home, fed it, named it, gave it a new homey box to chill in and how does he repay me?
the little bastard escaped last night and is now leaving little turd trails around my apartment.

he's not in the bathroom. he's not under the bed, or the couch. he's not behind any of my other standing furniture. he's not on the shelf...

if you happen to find him please put him in a paper bag and drop him off at your nearest pet shop.

you didn't happen to ask Spectacular Spectacular did you? i hear house pets like to get to know one another, he might know where Vlad has gone to.

spectacular has yet to join the club. vlad is a handful on his own. he better behave himself there's a dog restaurant down the street, i'm sure they'd love to get their teeth into some hedgehog meat. i hear it tastes just like dog.
