I had just run across this little gem featuring Bramble the Hedgehog – actually, I sent it to a friend with a comment on how long last night’s Boston Red Sox game ran – and realised that if he weren’t so cute, he’d be ugly.

Honestly, look at him. He looks … dead.  Fear not.  He isn’t. In fact, I can hear him running his nightly marathon as I type this.  He was rather tired when I took this photo.  We were snuggled on the sofa and watching T.V.  Well, I was snuggled. He was using me as a jungle gym until he tired himself out.
