Virtual Hedgehogs?

What won't they think of next!

Here is my little cyber hedgehog. And like the real James, it seems like my cute but curmudgeon-like virtual hedgehog has to be nudged a little (clicked on)before he will come out of his corner where he is all curled up and refusing to show his face.

Yes, I used to have a wee prickly pet named James.

We met James on the prairies somewhere near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta at a distant relatives house. We were passing through on our way to Saskatoon. They didn't want their hedehog anymore. It was destiny.

James made strange huffing sounds when he was annoyed, which was often. But he seemed to adapt to living in our car, our pockets, and various hotel rooms on our way back to British Columbia. And our cats eventually got used to him stealing from their dish. :)

James: grumpy, cactus-like, but oh so cute.


adopt your own virtual pet!
