and also

I think it's about time for a freakin' shout out. This one goes out to blogger Persephone at What Possessed Me - "A blog about fixation, fascination and unhealthy infatuation."

A favorite of mine for years, Ms. P regular posts lovely photos and interesting tidbits from her life, and - of course - the occasional adorable baby animal.

Case in point just for you Molly - Baby Hedgehog!


Also of note: JAM ON IT.

And might I add: Sleeping Albino Koala. I'M JUST SAYING.

SQUEEEEE!!!

I love hedgehogs! They are sooooooo cuuuuuute!! I swear I will have one someday. And until then, here's evidence of why I LOOOOOOVE them so much!

I mean, look at his ears! All giant & kinda bent. And his wee nose! And the look on his little face, like "oh hello there! Let's snuggle & be best pals forever!" and then he'll fall asleep all curled up next to you. Snoring, because I have it on good authority that hedgehogs snore. Which makes them EVEN CUTER!
