Oh… somebody found a hedgehog in the street and brought it to my husband (who’s also a veterinarian). We wonder if it’s one of ours. 🙁 He’s checking him now.
Hedgehog rolled into a ball in a basket in our bathroom.

Donald Trump is so crude, stupid, and lowbrow, he has no appreciation for the majestic beauty of our national parks. If a place doesn't have gaudy gilding, flashing neon, and ringing cash registers, he doesn't see worth.

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys
A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.
