Goodbye, lil' buddy

I've just learned that the "Most Famous Moist Nosicle on the InterWebs", Numo the hedgehog, has passed away.

Baroooo! [Crying sound] His quills quivered for the last time on August 3, 2007. Read more about Numo's tube-chasing, wheel-turning, quilt snorgling life here, at LooseTooth.com. :(

Let's also not forget that Numo's owners also brought us the best photo of the hamster T evar. ;)

That's such sad news! I see Brandy at craft shows around town but have never said anything, but I'll be sure to say hello and give condolences the next time I see her. Numo can play with Lucy 2.0 and all the other critters now...

Condolences :(

Animals live very much in the here and now. They don't worry about the future or fret for the lack of it. They are not meant to live as long as we do. But it's sure fun for us both to keep each other company for the time we do have together ;)

Oh, how sad. Numo was one of my favorite internet cuties. Brandy, I'm very sorry for your loss...

 |  Aug 11, 2007 at 02:15 PM

Oh! Sometimes it's cute here and sometimes it's sad. This is sad! Eoyore is right - Numo lived a full and happy life because he didn't let worry take over his life. RIP, Numo, and sincere condolences to Brandy on his passing.

I like to think he's having a LOT of fun now, and even trying out some flying and levitating!!

I'm so sorry for your lost. Numo was such a sweetheart.

I never thought of quills as being cute but those were adorable.

Please know that you're not alone and Numo is not alone.

So long, Numo. I'll bet in hedge heaven there's zillions of tp rolls... left over from making all the fluffy clouds, of course.

I've been wanting a hedgie... and since he passed on my birthday... I can think of no greater sign that I neeeeeed one of these little dudes in my life.

 |  Aug 11, 2007 at 10:33 PM

Oh, my, I wonder sometimes why we put ourselves through this pain over and over, knowing that our furbabies and spinybabies are going to pass on much sooner than we are.

R.I.P. Numo. Keep everybody on their toes at the Rainbow Bridge.

-Sigh-

RIP Numo H. Hog

Numo was a good friend, a role model to all the hedgehogs of Cute Overload. Not just the ones ON the website in adorable pictures... but the ones that sit on their owners' laps, admiring Numo and his undeniable cuteness.

PS. I do not know if they actually do this(last sentence)but yeah. I assume they do, because Numo deserves it.

Numo was a phenomenon, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that. A truely great hedgehog. His moist nosicle is a reminder to us all... may he rest in peace with Lucy 2.0 and the other CO pets that've passed away previously.

May cuteness heaven have a delightful new moist nosicle to snuggle up to, to comfort, to admire, to snorgle. There, I said it.

In conclusion,

RIP Numo

Lizzie
 |  Aug 11, 2007 at 10:53 PM

Let Numo sincerely RIP with my ex-hamster; Dora. Unfortunately, I don't even have any pictures of Dora... Although Numo's owner has lots of CO pictures to refer to her hedgehog by...

Age never got the better of Dora, not even when she was ages into being 3 years old. She was still as frisky as ever, running round the living room in her little hamsterball, bumping into a sofa or two, to remind herself she can't go underneath them since she is in her exercise ball... XP

RIP Numo

RIP Dora

Thank you, Everyone! You are all so, so, so sweet.

I am so thankful for those last two weeks with Mr. Numo. I got to spend loads and loads of time with him. Gunther and I are doing well, glad to have my cat to squeeze.

Numo had cardiomyopathy, an enlarged heart. I *know* it's congenital, but I like to think it had something with all the love Numo got. (NOT to say we're to blame!) Thank you for all the well wishes.

Brandy

I'm so sorry that little Numo had to leave you. I know Dr. Horton did all she could - she's my bunny-vet too. Numo was a great Hedgie-ambassador and his many friends will miss him.

brandy also inspired me to get a hedgie. after going to craft fairs and talking with her about her handsome hedeghog, i finally put my name on a breeder's wait list and on july 3rd, we welcomed our baby hoggle into our life. i had some new hedgie owner questions and when i sent them along to brandy, she was so helpful even though now i know that all this was going on in her baby's life. yep, today was a cryfest.
