Houdini the Hedgehog

I went to check on Houdini this morning and found that he'd died during the night. He must have been in a coma rather than asleep.

We're both feeling a bit guilty today. If we had left him alone, if I hadn't put him in a box on top of the freezer, I didn't know the little beggars could climb.

Having said that, if he hadn't been wandering around the garden in the middle of a sunny afternoon, several afternoons in fact, and the rescue centres hadn't told us he needed help, then none of this would have happened.

We're sad to have lost him, but it won't stop us trying to help another one of it's needed.

He's been buried in the garden in an area that is going to be turned over to lawn next season.

Bye Houdini.
