Diary of a Barking Mad Dog OwnerDue to his obsession with the hedgehog, Mr Mac was lead-walkedin the garden first thing in the morning before the sun was quite upand as soon as it was dusk, when hedgehogs are likely to be aroundsearching for food. Thus, you can imagine how mad I was when Iarrived home from work on Friday, drove towards my gate and saw thishalf-flat, brown, spiky lump in the middle of the road."Arrrgggghhhh!" I shouted at it, "you stupid, stupid hedgehog!"I parked my car in the drive and stomped back up the road. I was stillshaking my head and ranting, "How could you be so stupid? After myefforts to keep you safe all summer and you go and run out in front ofa car in broad daylight."I reached the little spiky brown lump and stared at it as if I was hopingfor an answer to my questions about its stupidity. Then a big smilespread across my face and I looked round sheepishly, hoping that noonehad witnessed or heard my outburst. The little spiky brown lumpwas left on the road by a horse.
