Hedgehogs

In July 2007 tidying the garden we found this little hedgehog, curled up asleep.  I wanted Thunderthighs to see one close up.            We returned her to a dark, quiet corner behind the compost heap.

 

Before he can relax and go to bed Thunderthighs' anxiety forces him to ensure both cats are in. 

On warm summer evenings Felix and Teddy are fairly reluctant to comply, so some time is spent seeking them in the gloaming.

Thunderthighs came in from one of his cat seeking trips out the backdoor and said 

"I can hear loud sniffing at the end of the garden."

So we crept stealthily past the raised bed and there, at the end of the lawn, were 2 

(yes two!) little hedgehogs.

I was so delighted I wanted to cry out but was fearful of startling them.

So I jumped up and down two footed, which may also have startled them and certainly gave Thunderthighs something to think about.

So if anyone in Benton felt a slight earth tremor an hour or so ago, that was it.

Mrs Leftfoot  Wow.  Two of them.  That's so lucky.  Well done Thunderthighs.
