'Twas the first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the Northern Hemisphere's Autumnal Equinox (October 16 this year). Believe it or not, I did get this one done on time, but, due to internet connection problems (no, the solution wasn't getting broadband), I'm somewhere around two-thirds of a month late posting it.
For this Wester, we bring you the Croquet hedgehog (Erinaceous europaeus dodgsonii), a curious subspecies of the European hedgehog that naturally comes in a variety of colors. Due to this hedgehog's naturally colorful quills and sturdy nature, English royalty bred them specifically for a more challenging game of croquet. Thanks to laws enacted in the past half century, the Croquet hedgehog has found a new and safer role as a popular pet with experienced hedgehog owners.
Happy (belated) Wester everyone!

Good memory. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is exactly where these hedgehogs came from (hence the dodgsonii honoring Charles Lutwidge Dodgson AKA Lewis Carrol). They were the balls used in the Queen of Heart's croquet game (flamingos served as mallets). They were quite mad, you know.
