October 21. I didn’t think that would ever be a special day, but it’s now one of the most special days. It’s the day after my birthday, and these four little potatoes were given to me as a gift by something above. Or so I feel, anyway. Fox, Wonder, Ellen and Rowling are incredibly special little beans to me. All so unique, but all so sweet. Fox is my heart hog. She melts my soul. She makes me smile like no other. And even though she was super sick, I knew, just KNEW she would be special to me from the second I met her. Her sisters, Wonder and Ellen, are very sweet. They are so closely bonded, it makes ya wish you had a friendship that great. They can’t be separated. They’re just so attached. Wonder likes to run around, while Ellen is super chill (but shy) around new people. And Rowling? Oh man, she’s so incredible. Seriously. A year ago, I spoke about how grumpy she was. Now, she’s the sweetest, happiest little hedgehog I’ve ever met. She’s getting old... Blind as a bat now. But she’s so happy, so sweet, and so ridiculously tolerant. 😂 She never balls up, and will rarely huff at you. She likes to waddle from this place to the next, but will never run. She’s my old little potato. I literally call her my potato. Happy Rescue Anniversary, my beans. You were the best (belated) birthday gift from above, EVER. #foxhedgie #wonderhedgie #ellenhedgie #rowlinghedgie #foxhedgieupdate https://www.instagram.com/p/B35K4CWFpqJ/?igshid=ozw270qqck22

On November 7, 2017, we met the man that would save this hedgehog’s life. Today, we bid him farewell as he moves to retirement. Rod is someone I am immensely grateful for, for had it not been for him, Fox would not be here. She was full of infection, and had an injury that had been left untreated by her previous owners for quite some time. Now, Fox is the happiest hog, who has seen so much, thanks to Rod. Rod McFarlane is and always will be the best vet we’ve ever had, and while I am so sad to see him go, I’m very lucky and blessed to have been able to know him for these last nearly two years. Congratulations on your retirement, Rod. I hope we see you again! #Foxhedgie #foxhedgieupdate https://www.instagram.com/p/B2aB3WPFZGb/?igshid=88b1k561bm4k

I love this @charmedaroma #hedgehogcandle almost as much as I love this hedgehog. . A year ago today, a little hedgehog entered my life. Little did I know just how much of my heart she would steal. Little did I know just how much of my life she could change. I feel that I am a better person because of this little hedgehog. She came in as a sick little hedgehog who had never known a loving home. Now, Fox has travelled all over the south west side of Canada. Fox has been spoiled ABSOLUTELY rotten. She knows only a loving touch now. She knows what it’s like to be a healthy, happy hedgehog. She’s the sweetest, snuggliest, cutest, most wonderful hedgehog I’ve ever met. I love her sooooooo much. Happy one year of happiness, freedom and a healthy start. Happy Rescue Anniversary. Happy... Gotcha Day? #foxhedgie #foxhedgieupdate . Do you like this candle? It is currently available on @charmedaroma’s website.

My dear little Fox. The hedgehog who powered through. My living, breathing, prickly little Miracle. We have been permanently in each other’s presence for 365 days. That’s one cycle around the sun. 365 days ago, I brought your smelly little self home. You were still in pain, still suffering as a result of poor quality care, but a year ago today, we were given a chance. A year ago today, I brought you home, and it’s one of the best things that ever happened to me. Fox, you have given me a reason to smile, a reason to cry, a reason to laugh, and something to love. You get me up out of bed in the morning, and you inspire me to do better things. You proved everyone wrong, and showed everyone what strength and love is. Fox, you don’t know it, but you are loved by thousands. You have captured the hearts of everyone you’ve met, even if you’ve pooped on them 😅. You are so different from the sassy, spiky, nippy little girl that was dropped off. You have bettered me as a person. Fox, you are my heart hog, soul hog, my favourite hedgehog. You love your wormies, snuggles, and you pose so well for mommy. You love your pets, and you love snuggling with your best friend, Moody. Fox, you are my little hero. My baby. My Foxy Pooh. Happy first Gotcha Day, my sweet, miraculous little bean. Hogmom loves you like no other. And so does everyone else. #firstgotchaday #gotchaday #foxhedgie #foxhedgieupdate https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4lIVOnnNV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iflrt4xj1enu

“Why Fox? Why did you name her that?” When she was first dropped off, @nuggetiels and I called her “PegLeg”. I named her after a bird in our city who had an injured leg. That night, after I bawled my eyes out and ranted to my friend about her, I mulled over the best name for her. Initially, I was going to keep her name as Peg, but then I thought of inspirational people who had lost their leg. Terry Fox, one of the most inspirational people in the world, was who came to mind. Despite having lost a leg, he ran across the country. Fox would be her name, and it would be the BEST name. In true Terry Fox fashion, Fox has been all over the southwest side of Canada. She may be small, but she is mighty. My little Foxy Pooh 💗 #foxhedgie (You can read about her drop off in posts under this tag >> #foxhedgieupdate) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhSVxpgxOk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=okz0crmqwd0j

A #foxhedgieupdate for everyone: We got home from the vet about an hour ago. For those that are new, Fox was a part of an eight-hedgie drop off from a baaaaaad situation. There was a hair wrapped around her leg and the bottom half of her leg died, rotted, and began detatching itself. Anyway, the vet said that her leg is so infected, and that he is surprised she has made it this long in this condition. He told me she needs surgery to remove the leg as soon as possible, so she is scheduled for her amputation on Thursday. He has known of this situation for a while, and offered to look at her for free, as well as give a discount on surgery. She will have a good life with three legs. So please keep her in your prayers!!! She definitely needs them. Here is a photo of #maplemeows looking ahead, and not in the past. 💗

Hello, new friends! Let’s get to know each other, shall we? My name is Sydney. I am 23 (almost 24) and I am proudly Canadian. I have owned many-o-hogs, because sadly, the amount of people who get bored of them is plenty. Fox, the hedgie in the @thedodo video, is a living, breathing miracle. What you didn’t see in that quick snippet video was that she is missing a leg. On October 21, 2017 (the day after my birthday), Fox was dropped off with seven other hedgehogs at a pet store in bad shape. Fox had a hair wrapped around her leg and the owner left it for quite some time to rot. As soon as she saw the vet, he scheduled an amputation because he was surprised she was alive. Because the four girls had been so bonded, I adopted all four, and they are all thriving. Fox, Wonder, Ellen and Rowling. Fox is now doing excellently. She is my little snuggle buddy. Because she had to be taken back and forth from the vets, she got used to travelling and therefore, became my little travel buddy. She is my best little pal, and I always look forward to seeing her. If you would like to see a play-by-play of the events that occurred, click here—#foxhedgieupdate. To see her travels, hit here—#thetravellingtripawd. And to see her every day posts, hit here—#foxhedgie. We are an approved Hedgehog Welfare Society rescue location so you will see many more hedgehogs on this page!! And I have a dog, and two cats as well, so you’ll see them occasionally, too 😉 Thanks for following along!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zfuiEFhfp/?igshid=1sh8mknjg6rqx

For nearly two years, I have loved on this itty bitty little creature and her family. I feel so lucky. Our introduction was a sad one, but she allowed me to feel a love I’ve never felt before. She is such a sweet little soul. In two and a half months, we will have had two cycles around the sun, and that, my friends, is why I fought for her. She is such a perfect and beautiful little creature. Foxy Pooh, I love you! 💗 #foxhedgie #foxhedgieupdate https://www.instagram.com/p/B05F1bgl0KA/?igshid=154kj613gm9gy
