Washing A Hedgehog

I visited my brother’s place at Christmas, 2005, and was lucky enough to witness a hedgehog-washing. I captured it for posterity with my cell phone.

This is the way you wash a hedgehog, wash a hedgehog, wash a hedgehog…

Courtesy of Tara Chiu (my sister-in-law), and my handy cell phone while I was visiting her and my brother…
