Sonic and Bob:
Being a fill-in Preventive Medicine Specialist had some perks. Iraq was very lonely. I secretly envied the one MP that was assigned a K-9. He got to spend every second with a furry companion that he could touch and love. I wanted something to touch and love. Well, word had spread that the postal unit inside our compound had acquired a couple of hedgehogs. Of course, this was against the rules and immediate action was taken. SGT Davis and I headed the investigation. We went to the postal bldg. and asked to speak to the OIC (Officer in Charge). We got a SGT instead (again, lack of personnel) and we explained the violation and the need for immediate confiscation.
Sonic and Bob quickly adapted to their new home inside my room. They loved all types of vegetables and played with empty toilet paper rolls for hours. They were so entertaining and despite their spiny exteriors, they were really soft underneath. I have video footage of them somewhere. Oh, and btw- Bob was really Bobbie- because after I left, they had a baby. How cute!
