-EVERYONE, PLEASE READ.
If you see this image on Tumblr, or any other photo site...
Could you PLEASE have the poster give me credit for this?
I went through HELL to be able to get this photo and it's just rude that people aren't giving me the proper credit.
Thank you.-
-UPDATE:
IF THEY CLAIM TO BE THE ORIGINAL POSTER...THEY ARE LYING.
I ONLY have this picture on DA.
Unless the person is named Ionshu or hedgiehairdresser, THEY ARE THIEVES AND ARE LYING. So please contact me.-
My hedgehog and his strawberry hat!
His name was Ratclaw.
He was an Algerian Gray hedgie...
R.I.P 2/9/11
I had him for nearly 5 years.

I miss everything about him...

The times at 3am when you would scream at me to turn off the light.
The times I got home from school to find you trapped in a toilet paper roll.
The times I would walk in the door to find you waddling up to greet me.
The times when I was most tired and you chose to run in your squeaky wheel.
The times I would put you in the bathtub to prepare you for a bath and you screamed at me because there was no water in it yet.

Everything about you.
I miss you so much. I would give ANYTHING to have you back.

The week before you died I had prepared myself. I put on a brave face and told people: "Yeah it's no big deal i'll just get a new hedgehog" hoping that I could just carry on after you left me... when in fact I cried for two weeks just THINKING about you. I was sent home by my teacher because I couldn't stop crying. I loved you. More then I've loved most people.

I don't think anyone knows just how much I suffered after you abandoned me.
A silly little animal caused me so much pain...

...But you were worth it.
I'll never forget you.
Ever.

A beautiful photo of a beautiful little hedgie. I'm so sorry for your loss. Our dog went missing last year and I wish I had him back. Don't worry though, know you'll see him again one day and he's watching ur every move and know he still loves you.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I feel I need to inform you hedgehogs are NOT rodents.

Did I ever say they were? I am indeed aware they are not, the only reason I was ever allowed to own them as a child, since I successfully proved to my parents that they weren't.

I just checked, indeed I did, the term "silly little rodent" is there because when he died, my mother 'cheered me up' by calling him "silly rodent" whenever his picture showed up...

So yes, I am aware...^^"

My sympathies. I was (and still am) the same way about my Ezra (dog). Pets, you love them more than you ever realize.
