You know what term I think suits you perhaps a bit better than grouch, Keely? Eccentric! It has to just be your very own unique eccentricity that makes you different, and a bit more prickly than some hedgehogs . Of course as your Mommy knows, this makes you no less special than those sweeter natured hedgies, far from it! I was fascinated with your biography and tribute, and very touched by your Mom's deep and unconditional love, the very best kind. I'm sure in your own way you truly appreciate your special human. Certainly you've given her smiles and laughter, and hours of entertainment with your antics in the tubey head game . I hope today was EXTRA special, just as you are, with yummy treats and a nice long paper towel tube to play with. Congratulations Keely, on being our unique, eccentric, and PRECIOUS Pet of the Day!
