Some cheering news: Staff at St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire, England, have designed a strict regimen of diet and exercise that will, if all works as planned, result in Snowball the overweight albino hedgehog's eventual release. I know you were all worried.

SAINT TIGGYWINKLES!!!!!!!!!!!
is NOT made up!
I looked it up, and he's the patron saint of obese spiny mammals.
What foresight, to name him that, even before his weight ballooned.
Beatrix Potter! I had a stuffed Tiggywinkle when I was wee.
You guys should really consider the Drudge siren for stories like this.
THANK FUCKING GOD!!
I can exhale now.
so many words in this post warm my wintry heart.
At last, I've found my spirit animmal.
St. Tiddlywinkles?
Patron saint of Teletubbies?
What were St. Tiggywinkles's three miracles?
On St Crispins Day 1365 a hedgehog "of large girth" was brought to his crypt in West Brushy Bottom Priory and the aforementioned hedgehog was in "much distress". By beneficiant touch of the saints right big toe the animal was healed and promptly boiled alive for the monks evening meal.
snowball the overweight albino hedgehog.
their first album was just ok.
He's so cute that if worked at St. Tiddy's, I would sabbotage the regimen.
Cheering news indeed!
Ah, I can breathe a sigh of relief now...
I'm still not over the death of Benson, but this story helps
Hedgehog Turnovers.
Soon he'll be in everyone's back garden again, knife-fighting to his heart's content.
