Ms. Pokey was just over 3 and a half years old.
I took her and put her to sleep today. I won't go into details... but she lost a lot of weight and she didn't recognize me anymore.
As the hubby put it: She's off to the big wheel in the sky with auto-poop-cleanup and Jenny-flavored snacks to chomp on.
She really loved chomping my fingers for some reason.
I didn't know that hedgies are prone to cancer once they hit 3 years of age. But regardless of that I wasn't going to try to keep her here just because I didn't want to let her go.
She was a very good hedgie.
I'm sad.
