How to Give a Hedgehog a Bath

1. Fill a sink with luke warm water only a few inches deep.

2. Use a soft toothbrush and tear free baby shampoo or Aveeno oatmeal baby shampoo.

3. Put the hedgehog in the water, making sure it is able to stand.

4. Apply a small amount of shampoo to the toothbrush.

5. Use the toothbrush to wash the spines of the hedgehog.

6. Gently scoop water over the hedgehog's back to rinse the shampoo, making sure to not get water in the hedgehog's eyes, nose or ears.

7. Wrap the hedgehog in a dry towel for a few minutes.  Make sure it stays warm while it dries off.

Dime On a Map

A portion of my area was Salem City and as I started researching the city and it's history, I found that it was first called Pond Town.  I found a few of the ponds in the city and there were people fishing as well as a cabin on the west bank of the biggest pond, which was the first post office around 1872.  During Christmas time there are Christmas lights set up around the pond as well as horse drawn carriage rides.

Lyman Curtis eventually changed the city's name to Salem meaning city of peace.
