aloysius was supposed to have had his surgery yesterday, but after dropping him off at the vet at an hour when i am rarely, if ever, awake, they called to say that they would rather do the operation on friday (tomorrow). apparently, the tumor on his head is located in a rather tricky spot, and after explaining something to me about the quill-skin margin, they said they'd rather have an additional surgeon present, one who's got a great deal of experience performing surgeries like this. which is absolutely fine with me, except for the waking up extraordinarily early again ;)
but so it goes. and so tomorrow it is.
anyway, in anticipation of the big day, not to mention the looming absence of quills from one side of hedgie's head, my boyfriend and i took aloysius out for a photo shoot early wednesday morning. these are some of the photos that we took.
you can see the scar from the earlier tumor-removal on his nose pretty easily.
but he's still awfully cute...
aloysius in the grass!

I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you and Aloysius!
thanks, diana! hedgie's in surgery right now, and hopefully he'll be back home all stitched-up and cancer-free in a few hours...
