aloysius

to everyone was so kind and generous about contributing to my hedgehog aloysius's surgery several months ago, whether by purchasing a book or telling others or sending a get-well card or thinking good thoughts for him:

aloysius passed away this past saturday the 21st. despite all best efforts, the cancer kept coming back. he was six and a half years old. he had a happy last few months, which he wouldn't have been able to have without your help. thank you so much for that. i'm hoping his hedgie spirit is blissfully running on an eternal hedgehog wheel while munching on an endless supply of mealworms (and some salmon now and then). he was loved tremendously and will be missed equally so.
