Hedgehog Tom

Today I looked in the backyard and saw a little animal, but it wasn't a cat! I quickly got Niki's shoes and jacket on and we went out. He named him Tom and said that Tom likes our yard because he likes to goes down the slide. Funny.

Of course I have been on the internet looking at ways to intice a wild hedgehog to want to live in our yard (since they like to eat slugs...how can I refuse?). I cut up some apple and carrots and he ate a little but then went to the corner where I think he got it. He is likely looking for a place to hibernate. I wish he would use our wood pile or something. I feel quite desperate that I want him to be our pet! At least I hope he stays until Jenna and Günter come home so they can meet Tom.

Isn't this a sign of good luck?

How cute!!! I can see why you've taken a liking to the little critter. Hope he stays around awhile.
