Over the weekend some of you on Instagram might have noticed that Mac made a new friend. His name is Mr Hedgehog!
He was found sitting the other side of our gate on Saturday evening, causing Mac to sniff rather aggressively as he tried to work out what on earth it was. Mac has had only one brief encounter with a hedgehog before and still wasn't certain what it was. Mr Hedgehog was clearly not impressed with Mac's constant sniffing and was firmly in a ball. He only opened up for the picture once I put Mac away in the house and sat very still near him for a while.
Then on Sunday afternoon we were leaving our garden for a stroll and who did we meet but Mr Hedgehog again! This time he was braver and stayed uncurled. He only curled up once Mac stuck his nose in his face. Thankfully the prickles didn't spike him but did make Mac retreat hastily!
So there we are. Macintosh and Mr Hedgehog. A cross-species friendship!
