A New Pet.

I think I need a hedgehog. No seriously, how adorable are these little guys? Someday when I have a classroom of my own, I'm definitely going to get one as a class pet. But of course, he will be coming home with me all the time- I sure hope Jordan won't mind. I don't know how he could say no.



Do you like how I used the excuse of needing a classroom pet to justify me getting a hedgehog? Yeah, I'm smooth. PS in California you can only have one if you have a special license from the USDA for educational or film reasons. I think I can convince them that a special education elementary classroom needs one, right?

  2. I was going to email you but oh well....so here's the story :0 one of my students brought one in this year that was her pet, Orva, the hedgehog. She was pretty adorable, but was 'bleeding' so the dad just thought it was her 'time of the month'. Needless to say, on Monday my student came in and Orva died. :( She got in a crack behind the dishwasher, ate some rat poison and well, boo hoo :((( Lesson learned, don't let your hedgehog out of your site! Love you friend. xoxo

  3. Sooooo cute!! I want one so bad! How cute would that be if you had a hedgehog in your classroom! Those kids would LOVE it! I think it's very appropriate :)

  4. A few years ago I wanted a hedge hog so bad that I was going to drive to a city five hours from where I live to pick one up. And they were charging like $200 for this little thing because it was some "special" breed of hedge hog. And now that I've out grown that phase (even though they are still adorable and I still, deep down, kind of want one) I can find them everywhere.

    Anyway, I think you should get one. They're way cooler than any classroom pet I had as a kid.

  9. Erin- That's a horrible story!!! Poor little hedgehog :(

    Larissa- Where do you live??? They are illegal here, so maybe you can send me one hahaha jk.

    Amylou- Stupid exotic animal laws... they are legal in other states with more relaxed laws on exotic animals, like Florida.
