Here is Andre the Pygmy Hedgehog peeping from his blankets whilst we watched TV together last night!

Phew! How quick did that week away go?! No sooner was I lounging about sunning myself with a nice cold drink in Cran Canaria before my holiday was over and I was back home on a plane to Manchester! By heck it’s got cold as well! Winter is well and truly on it’s way! Gran Canaria was lovely though and I certainly had chance to recharge my batteries as well as drink and eat lots and lots…. I’ll certainly need to be back at the gym soon to work off all that lovely Tapas!

I did miss my little Andre the Pygmy Hedgehog though! He stayed with our friends while we were away and seems to have enjoyed his own little mini break, I think he was spoilt rotten! Not to mention cuddled and kissed by all him new admirers who went around to see him!

I have managed to catch up on all jewellery bits and bobs and I realise that the site is a little empty and needs some serious updating and I aim to get plenty of new designs on there in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Yes Christmas! I can’t believe we are fast approaching October and soon all the festivities will be upon us… I am feeling a wave of panic I can tell you!

About once a month Andre the Pygmy Hedgehog has a bath. Pygmy hedgehogs are prone to having dry and sore skin so I use his special body wash and a tooth brush and give him a gentle wash to help sooth him. He seems to like being in the water and is very good at standing still whilst I lather him up and make sure he is all clean. Here are some pictures of him in the bath and getting dried. The picture of him sticking his tongue out is just after he was rewarded with a meal worm treat. I think he looks very handsome after his pamper!

On Wednesday night I decided it was about time Andre had his first bath! I filled our bath tub with some nice warm water and let him have a wonder around. He did look very tiny! He seemed quite relaxed and wasn’t nervous of me putting the water on him! When he was all clean I wrapped him up in a nice fluffy towel and stroked his little face until he was all sleepy. Bless him, he’s such a good boy!
