This is how you should pamper your significant OTHER (not OTTER): you keep him, or her, or the intersex person (formerly labeled as true hermaphrodite), in the palm of your hand, figuratively. Like a baby hedgehog, or like a mini-piglet. If you neglect your OTHER, it may turn into a spiny HEDGEHOG that won't hedge your funds. Or into a HOG that will hog your funds. Lovely maxicard from UK - say Awww...

Pamper, or neglect? The choice is yours. The aftermath, too.

Actions have consequences, and so do inactions.

Don't turn your OTHER into The Last Inaction Hero!

What! You don't want a piece of the action?

Choose "In ACTION", rather than "INACTION".

Don't leave your OTHER to be either "palmless", or empty-handed, because they will ...put something in that hand, whatever that means...

Life... a hands-on experience.

What's in YOUR palm?

"A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. 

There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand (by introduction). 

There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas (although fossils of at least four extinct species were discovered in South America). 

Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (order Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years.^[2] 

Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life.

The name 'hedgehog' came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle English'heyghoge', from 'heyg', 'hegge' = hedge, because it frequents hedgerows, and 'hoge', 'hogge' = hog, from its piglike snout.^[3] 

Other names include 'urchin', 'hedgepig' and 'furze-pig' ."

Put enthusiasm in everything you do.

Sucking with enthusiasm - look at the hind legs of this piglet below. One leg appears to be lifted, in the thrust for his "Got milk?" quest.

"A pig is any of the animals in the genus Sus, within the Suidae family of even-toed ungulates. 

Pigs include the domestic pig, its ancestor the wild boar, and several other wild relatives. 

Pigs are omnivores and are highly social and intelligent animals."
