Elinor goes to School




During the relaxed summer term at Nandachart Preschool, we took the opportunity to introduce our new pet - Elinor the Hedgehog. The preschool class was curious yet skeptical of the visitor. The handful that could be convinced to hold her whimpered "Jet, jet"... in other words "She hurts!". The kindergarten class, however, was fearless. We had a hard time holding back their little, poking fingers. They even enjoyed feeding Elinor the meal worms we brought along. It will take some figuring out, but I plan to make an Elinor doll in the same fashion as the one I made of Tien. In this way even the most sensitive hands will be able to hold her.

I wonder if Elinor had as much fun at school, as the children did?

Probably not, because we were interrupting her sleep (she's nocturnal). But she's a good sport.

I am so happy you got a hedgehog! Does she ever whistle through her nose when she's really happy?
Hedgehogs are incredibly smart, they say! Oh what a fabulous pet. By the way I love the tien dolls!

I haven't heard her whistle, but she chuckles when you wake her up and snuffles when she's walking around in search of food. It's very cute!
