1. YOU GUYS ROCK!! I ate an oreo in honor of the best hedgehog blog ever tonight. But only one, cause I'd already eaten a thin mint blizzard, so I was pretty full. Sorry! I'll eat more tomorrow in honor of you as well!

2. If there's no internet in Canada, then how do Canadians read your blog??

Simon said...

1. Thank you!

2. I'm not sure but I've heard they read it telepathically.

I believe, in your heart, you already know the answer to that.
