Yes! LOL the zoo staff person said...wait for it..."you only pet them in one direction though." Which reminds me I also got to pet a porcupine once at another zoo! Same advice! 🤣🤣🤣 One would think that I spend my life going from zoo to zoo petting precious pricklies!🤪
How delightful!!! And how wonderful of you to "pet the precious pricklies"!!!!!! Your phrase reminds me of one of my favorite art teachers who was famous for being "prickly" but she and I got along great - I found her quite loveable!! She was definitely a "precious prickly" 🤣😘🤗💚
Yippee!! My grumpy prickly cat sends an affectionate solidarity grumph to yours!!! Personally I aspire to be an old weirdo with a home art studio... 🌵🌵😁😉💚💚
I'm delighted you liked my hedgehog drawings!! And I'm glad you'll remember Jolabokaflod for next holiday season- it's a lovely respite from the hubbub. 💚
Same! Hubby loves to read & his mom too, so do it young adult kids. This sounds like a wonderful holiday ritual, I'm going to suggest it for next year.
Lol!!! Yes, Happy Hedgehog Day today and every day indeed!!! And I'm so glad you like my morning offerings - and both my wife and I appreciate your kindness!! Thank you!! 💚💚💚
Your holidays sound absolutely delightful, and I'm glad you had a wonderful Jolabokaflod celebration! The hedgehog drawings are adorable and carry such a positive message about finding helpers in various patterns of life.
