1. Brody helped me prepare for my upcoming Mt. Meru hike by dragging me up Cowles Mountain here in San Diego. It’s like preparing for a triathlon by dipping your toes in a wading pool, but it’s a start. The highest point in San Diego is still 12,000 feet lower than Mt. Meru.
2. Apollo, who has never hiked a day in his life, mocks Brody’s expression in the above picture.
3. I took my son to a birthday party I almost forgot to RSVP to and they had a wildlife show! I don’t know who was more excited, the kids or the adults. The educator brought along a wallaby, a chinchilla, an iguana, an alligator, a few other things I don’t remember and then- this porcupine.
I had no idea porcupines could be so cute. He sat there munching his corn like a rock star, holding onto that cob for dear life like Eddie Van Halen about to unleash a 20 minute guitar solo, completely unaffected all by the attention. Ohnomnomnom I have corn and nothing else matters nomnomnom.
Have a wonderful Passover, Easter, or simple spring weekend! Hope it’s a great one!
I would love to be that focused. I’m already that prickly. ;p
A wonderful Passover, Easter, or simple spring weekend to you, too, Dr. V!
haha, Sue! I feel the same about myself 🙂 I would love to be that focused and that cute as I am pretty prickly….
If you’d told me a porcupine could look cute . . . . . but there he is! Thanks so much for sharing – wonderful idea for a children’s party, I’d say!
A Blessed Easter/Passover/Spring Holiday to you and yours and all the rest of you out there in cyber-friend land!
check out the animal print shop by photographer sharon montrose. i have a copy of her baby porcupine print. the cutest thing ever!
Porcupines are adorable, when they keep their quills to themselves 😉 Glad the party was fun for the grownups. A wildlife show is a fantastic idea!
Love Apollo! Priceless! Cute porcupine too!
Happy Easter to the “V” clan!
OMG, Dr. V, tell me you’ve seen Teddy Bear, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZaRTAoGelQ !

(she didn’t use gosh dang cute by the way);
thanks for sharing the pics and you, too, have a blessed weekend….
Love her site- one of my absolute favorite blogs. 😀 I didn’t know about the porcupine, though- I need to catch up!
The porcupine is so cute! I never thought of them as cute animals, but apparently they are 🙂 and how cute is his fat belly?! 🙂
