Mind the gap.

26 March 2004

I came home from volunteering at the spaghetti dinner to find a cage with a male albino hedgehog in my kitchen. o_O My dad said there were only 3 at the petshop and since he thought I definitely wanted an albino, he got it. The only problem is... I REALLY wanted a female, and later, after telling him I wanted an albino, I realised that the blonde ones were actually the cute ones because the albino ones have the freakiest pink eyes... so now I'm stuck; he says that if I really want to we can go back and get a brownish female tomorrow, or I can keep the albino guy.

It's horrible and I feel so bad, but I really wanted a female... I was coming up with a few cute female hedgie names, so now I'll have to brainstorm for a male one if I keep this one... argh. I really wish my dad had taken me with him to the petshop instead of surprising me... I would've liked to see them all so I could've picked between the three. So, anybody have an opinion as to what I should do? I'm very torn... but that's no surprise, eh?

UPDATE... yay for digicams. ^_^ I think I'm gonna have to keep the little bugger... my sis wants to name him 'Hidalgo' but I don't know about that. Heh. ANYWAY here he is in all his albino glory:
