Cindy the hedgehog

We had an interesting pet for the weekend. One of Natalie's teachers has several classroom pets that the students can take home for the weekend. There are rabbits, sugar gliders, rats, and a hedgehog. Of course, Natalie wanted to keep the hedgehog. She was really cute in an interesting way. We had never seen a hedgehog up close before, so we had no idea how prickly their quills look when they're scared or how tiny their little feet are. The teacher has a ball that you can put the hedgehog in to run around the house. It was so cute watching Cindy run around in that ball! We had to wear gloves to pick her up because of her quills. Lily was actually sad this morning when Natalie and I had to take Cindy back to the school. Here are some pictures of Cindy and the girls.
