So not important...so on my mind.

I think there should be a white house hedgehog.

The Obama family should definitely get their dog, and I will stand by any dog they choose. I hear the goldendoodle is up there on their list, good for them. But in the spirit of change and ushering in a new era, I think they should introduce a new species to the west wing. Thus, I say, they need a hedgehog.










Let's look at the advantages here:

1. Hedgehogs are cute. You can't see one and be in a bad mood.

2. They are both cuddly and prickly, much like leaders should be: tender and warm-hearted toward the nation they are leading, protective and vigilant against potential enemies.

3. Unlike other spined animals, their quills are not barbed or poisonous. This means they are OK in the hands of both children and foreign dignitaries.

4. Hedgehogs are nocturnal. Meet the new night watchman on the beat.

5. They interact well with other pets in the house.

6. Some people use them as natural pest control in their gardens. Meet the new gardener.

7. Did I mention cute already??

So true!
I'm now in a better mood because I have seen the hedgehog.

It's a little ray of sunshine in an otherwise drab and dreary landscape!

Joy!
