I just spent the night nursing a cushion tassel thinking it was a baby hedgehog

[PhoenixIsFlying]

Ok so my back is currently in spasm so am blaming my high strength painkillers for being such an idiot. Last night after letting the dogs out for a wee they became incredibly excited and it was because there was a hedgehog outside. I quickly got the dogs in and the hedgehog went on it's merry way. I was in the living room watching lots of episodes of Doc Martin (my new fav programme). I looked down and saw a small white soft spiky thing. I picked it up and panicked it was the shape of a baby hedgehog but white. I googled baby hedgehogs it looked the same. I was awake until 3 am cradling and keeping warm a cushion tassel. Googling and learning all about how to care for a baby hedgehog. FFS what a moron 🤣 I only realised this morning in the daylight what it was.

😂😂😂🤣

That is hilarious 😂 Co codamol sends me loopy too. I refuse to take it now.

You have made my day! Thank you!

I needed this. It's hilarious. You sound like such a nice person btw xxx

@PhoenixIsFlying

Here it is

Should have gone to spec savers LOL. THAT IS SO FUNNY

🤣🤣🤣

Bless you! That's has really made me smile

Oh @PhoenixIsFlying that's not good .

Can you screw your courage to the sticking point and ring them again ? I think you must ,you have to tell them that the co codamol isn't helping .

I bet youcan't laugh .....

This is wonderful OP.

I bloody love you OP 🤣

I'm sniggering like Mutley grin at least your heart was in the right place.
This ^

Think l need a hefty dose of your painkillers op!

This is the loveliest OP I have ever read! If more people could have a heart like yours PhonixIsFlying, the world would be a better place!!

Love your baby hedgie 🦔

I’ve told this story on here before but a few years ago I was walking home from the school run and saw a cat hanging from a tree. It was twisting and turning trying to free itself.

I ran as fast as I could to the tree hoping I’d be able to reach it to rescue it, then slowed right down when I realised it was a load of tissue paper caught in the wind

Bless you OP but that made me laugh

And there I was, having remembered the ''being so sleep-deprived I was breastfeeding the duvet'' poster, thinking you were breastfeeding a cushion when I suddenly thought - hang on, why would she be breastfeeding a hedgehog?! Not just you, OP.
I can see bugger all without my glasses on and it's become a long-standing joke in our house whenever I do something dumb. Did you have your glasses on?
Your Mum touching a rando as she was checking if they were real or not, however, is an absolute belter.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

Someone thought this was an escaped leopard - turned out someone’s dressing gown fell off whilst she was doing the school run!

Story here

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius there’s an even better mistaken identity story just one click from your link: www.thepoke.co.uk/2018/10/09/funniest-case-mistaken-identity-youll-see-week/

Absolutely brilliant op 😂

Painkillers do wierd things!

dear.....

For future reference this is what baby hoglets look like

Two boys I hand reared. One had to be pts as it was badly injured but the remaining boy lived and was released back in the wild

This is brilliant, and totally believable. I once seen a huge spider on the cream carpet during a 2am run to the toilet. Grabbed a glass and put it over said spider. Found out in the morning I had incarcerated a top off a beef tomato 🙈

@AnitaB888

That reminds me of my mother. Many, many years ago she told me she saw what looked like a hedgehog in the garden in the snow and felt sorry for it. So she put out a saucer of warm milk (quite wrong for hedgehogs I know) and was very surprised in the morning when she saw the milk was untouched and the hedgehog still there. So she put on wellies to go and investigate and found she's been offering milk to the yard brush that had fallen down.

I’m sorry but this has just finished me off! Hilarious 😂

Bless you OP.

At least that little tassel got to feel all loved and special last night

@Knittedfairies that's what I meant 😂

Funniest thing I've read all year 😂😂

That is hilarious, @Lalliella - thank you!
