More About Harley

After my post the other day about Harley I’ve gotten a lot of questions.  I’ve posted about him in the past welcoming him home and showing off his new bachelor pad but it’s been a while.   People are still confused about the whole hedgehog as a pet thing. Some of the main questions I get are: Can he shoot his quills like …

The Night from HELL

Since being put on stress leave from work, Xander has been doing as ordered and chilling out.   Bailey has decided to chill out too, even though that’s all he ever does… err, when he’s not acting like a total ‘tard, I mean. Anyhow, do you remember a while back when I foaded my body because of the horrible heartburn I had …

Gunky Ears

That’s apparently what has been wrong with Harley lately.   I noticed the other day when I took him out of his cage that his ears looked dry and ‘gunky’ so I went to one of my hedgehog forums to ask what to do about it. The advice I got was to give him an oatmeal bath and rub either nipple cream, …

Burnout

This has been such a strange weekend.  It all started on Friday morning… After my Foading of him last week (which I feel quite guilty about now) my husband broke down and confessed to me what is really going on with him and why he’s been acting so strangely lately. Over the last few months he’s been growing increasingly stressed at …

Four Year Old Perv

I mean, is there any such thing?  Give me a break…  only in the United States could a four year old child be suspended from school because of a HUG! haha Apparently a teachers aid accused the four year old of sexual harassment because he hugged her and (in her opinion) rubbed his face into her chest. FOUR …  YEARS …

I had such …

Lightbulb Snowmen

I finally got around to making the lightbulb snowmen that I wanted to make.  I saw them on a website last year and said I was definitely going to make them this year. It was kind of annoying because the lightbulbs are shaped differently here, without the long slender part but I improvised.  I think they are as cute as …

Project Fatass Continues…

I know it’s been a long time since I wrote about my Project Fatass progress, I think it was because I felt like I wasn’t making any. I’m not sure who Michal Keach is, nor do I care… but I do know that I’ve now lost as much as that big ugly fish weighs.  I seem to have a thing …

Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet

Today is Sinterklaas in the Netherlands.  Which is sort of like the Dutch Christmas, only different… The Dutch tradition of “Sinterklaas” is an interesting Dutch tradition, although American commercialism is eroding on this cultural event. Halfway through November there is a big spectacle when the Sinterklaas arrives in the Netherlands. Television crews await his arrival from Spain at a port where …

Cutiepies

This week I took a stab at making a sort of double decker type rat hammock and it came out pretty well, the girls seem to really like it! When I got up yesterday they were sleeping with their little heads sticking out, so I couldn’t resist the urge to get a few photos.  Of course, they woke up as …
