We had Evan's class pet (a hedgehog)over the weekend and we had a great time with it. We played with it. We took it to the park. We watched it in the cage, fed it, gave it water, and really enjoyed it. It seemed to be having fun and getting used to us. Last night Evan fell asleep while he was reading with the hedgehog on his headboard. Dh put it back in it's cage and it seemed just fine. This morning when Evan checked on it, it has passed away. I feel so badly. I keep going over what we could have done wrong. I feel just awful for Evan. He had some trouble at his last school and this was a new year, a fresh start, and now this. I sure hope the kids don't give him a hard time about it. I'm jut devastated, I feel so badly for him. He really did everything he should have to take good care of it... :(

I told the teacher this morning that when she thought the class was ready for another pet we would help. I'm just soooo sad.

Awww. Don't blame yourself. Animals die for all sorts of reasons. Maybe he was just old for a hedgehog. Sounds like he had a fantastic last few days, but its not your fault. Hope the class is okay with it.

{{{HUGS}}} to you & Evan.

I'm sure it was nothing any of you did wrong! Don't blame yourself and especially let Evan know that he shouldn't blame himself.
