R.I.P. Pokey 2002-2007

Today, our family got a little bit smaller and much emptier. Melissa's beloved pet hedgehog, Pokey, passed away today. She was 5... we think. We picked her up as a rescue from a family that decided they didn't want her after all, and who didn't know the first thing about hedgehogs. After some hard times, Meli got Pokey down to the correct size, eating better, and drinking out of a water tube. She was a great little pet and Meli loved her very much. We will miss her.
