We've had Hedgehog for a little more than a week now. A few days ago Kim noticed a little black bump on his side, took him to the vet, and lo and behold... the little dude is terminally ill. On one hand, we've had him for a very short time, so... you know. But on the other hand, we've all grown at least a little emotionally attached, so this news really sucks.
However, we've decided to make his last few days on Earth the best a hedgehog can have, so we've created him a bucket list.
I'm sure by now every person has seen The Bucket List starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.
Look how happy they are! Two men, faced with mortality, side by side, helping each other out... uncertain of the future, yet, with the comfort of another soul going through the same trials and tribulations, knowing they are not alone, that they have each other... so, as I was saying, I'm sure every person has seen this cinematic heartwarming masterpiece...
Oh, you haven't? Me neither, it looked really sucky. But I'm assuming it's about two dudes who are about to die so they set out to do as much shit as possible. Basically, Hedgehog will be doing the same.
He's already got a beach day planned. Maybe a park day? Universal Studios? Skydiving? The sky's the limit! (No, seriously, the sky is the limit, because we're not sending the little fucker to space, no matter how much he pleads.)
I was thinking though... it'd be nice to find another terminally ill hedgehog and have them do this all together, you know, like in the movie. So if you have a hedgie that is sadly ill, send him this way. Although I call dibs on our Hedgehog being Morgan Freeman in this scenario... I always imagined that if he could talk like a human, Hedgehog would have the deep, gravelly voice that narrated "March of the Penguins".
Anyways, yeah. All joking aside, this is pretty sad. Ahh well, at least we can make his last days a bit more fun.
This makes me so sad.
