Mochi

I got a pet...it's a little hedgehog. haha...it's really cute but awfully painful to handle. Oh mochi...she's so cute. She looks a lot like a mochi when she's all curled up in a ball. pictures later...now she's basically a ball most of the time.

update:

today i gave mochi her first bath, she was enjoying it for awhile and then suddenly she just scurried into my hand out of the water. i guess she was done. haha...hedgehogs are interesting pets. they require a lot of trust building. it's not like dogs where they almost immediately bond to you with little work required. hedgehogs on the other hand, are nocturnal so they are grumpy as hell in the morning and are painful to touch if they don't trust you. today my mochi and I had our first bonding moment. she unballed for the first time in my hand and i placed her in my lap. she remained there unballed until i picked her up again. she balled up but immediately unballed once she was fully supported in my hands. wanted to let her run around on the floor but when i put her down, she didn't move. she's a lot of fun. more updates later.
