Been on vacation ... no, I didn't go anywhere but I did manage to get bronchitis and have been on antibiotics for a while and am now back to work infecting my colleagues !    I really missed the adorableness that is furry ... but not always ... creatures.  Thanks for keeping up the cuteness !

Thank you, Martina.  I actually am feeling better, but my lovely hacking cough can certainly clear a room in record time !  

 

I've discovered, along with my little hedgehog affection (  ) an affinity for Wombats !

 

And Wombats and their Friends.

 

Interesting fact about Wombats:   Their poop is cube-ular ! 

 

"The wombat is noted to have the driest poop of any mammal, which is due in part to the wombat having an incredibly long digestive process that can take between 14-18 days. This process allows the wombat to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients from its food before it turns it into a smelly Lego block."

Looks like the hedgehog is trying to eat the dinosaur. Sorry little buddy, but plastic doesn't taste that good.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

How cunnin' is that!

Awwww, I love hedgehogs. I love how they are all prickly outside, but have this really soft, fuzzy belly.

Maybe it wanted to play Smaug or the Necromancer in some live action role play.
