When I posted this video of me giving my hedgehog a bath I got a bit of guff from the YouTube nuts. A few non-hedgehog owners insisted that hedgehogs are naturally clean and don’t need baths and that bathing a hedgehog is abuse. Any hedgehog owner’s reaction to that would be: “I wish!”

Hedgehogs are so far from being naturally clean. Their favorite hobbies are running, pooping and digging. Hedgehogs can get really dirty really fast and you should bathe them every few weeks using ‘no tears’ baby shampoo to keep them healthy and happy. Otherwise they’ll be susceptible to bacteria that can make them sick. They also really enjoy baths–it’s the least spiky you’ll ever see them. Sometimes I’ll give Max a quick rinse in the water just to calm him down.

And the best part of giving Max a bath is that he looks SO CUTE and snug drying off in his facecloth:

This pig is a runt, and that usually means he’s left out in the cold while his bigger siblings get all the warmth their mother provides. But farmer’s rigged a bucket of warm water and a piglet-sized floatie so that the piglet gets his own personal spa. (via CuteOverload)

Labradors are one of my favorite breeds, I had a few as a kid and they were always the sweetest most playful dogs. This is a video of a black lab splashing around in a pool for 2 minutes. You think it’d get boring, but it doesn’t! It gets increasingly humorous to see how much he enjoys repetitively splashing and running around in circles in a tiny kiddy pool. Cuteness all around.

Wet dog? That’s offensive. We prefer the term, ‘moist puppy’. (via FailDogs)
