In college I had a pet hedgehog named Millie. She wasn't so friendly; her idea of interaction involved burrowing up your pant leg until she got spooked. She would then ball up, leaving you with the equivalent of a sea urchin stuck against your calf. Good times. But she was adorable and the fleeting moments I ever got to pet her soft belly made it all worthwhile. Today at the zoo we met Maple, the friendliest hedgehog on earth. She didn't hiss, she didn't ball up, she even let Matilda manhandle her. I think I know what Santa can fill my stocking with this year!
