Owners Manual

Foster Momma thought it was important to provide my new parents with as much information about me as she could (pretty cool right?!), and they said that she could share what she did with you, so here goes!

Slowcooker Sunday

Hey BestFriend?

Yes Hippo?

Are you snuggled under the covers dreaming about what we got to do yesterday?

I sure am, that, and its cold and RAINING out (shudder)

Mmm, yesterday when the whole housed smelled so good, but FosterMomma said that "slow cooker sunday's weren't for puppies" . . . but then, THEN, when she took all the good smelling food out, she let us LICK the whole slow cooker clean!!!!

Yes Hippo, it was delicious, even though your big ol tongue flicked stroganoff sauce in my eye more than once . . .

I'm sorry, it was just sooooo good, and i took my job of pre-washing the pot very seriously!

Well Hippo, you did a very good job, i actually didn't mind sharing with your meatball of a head . . .

Oh! Speaking of meatballs, did you get any meatballs yesterday? Because i didn't . . .

Sometime there are perks to being an Elderbull (and not having a tender tummy), i bet if you go back to sleep with me you will be eating meatballs in your dreams . . .

Okay BestFriend . . . i sure hope my new parents have dogs-need-to-lick-the-slowcooker-sundays too . .

Breakfast in bed

Daphne, if Foster Momma lets you have some of her bagel, you promise to share with me please....?!

Well rested

Behold, my cute and sleepy face (using Foster Momma's leg as a nice pillow)

I have an extra happy sleepy face because last night the girls slept with me too! (See Beans' brindled bum! Daph sleeps under the covers)

And of course BestFriend was there too!

Behold my cute and HAPPY sleepy face!

Spoiled!

BESTFRIEND!!!

Yes Hippo, why are you shouting, its early . . . 

 

Bescause I'm excited!!!

Oh, why? This better be good, I want to go back to sleep.

Well, my new parents sent a picture of alllll the cool stuff they have to SPOIL me with! Seeeeee

Wow Hippo, you are going to be spoiled . . . Mmmmm, liver treats! Going to dream of liver treats . . .

You know best friend, if you ever wanted to come visit me at my new house i'd share alllll my toys AND my liver treat with you!

Awe, thanks Hippo, thats real nice of you. Now then, can we please sleep again?

Yes, we can, you know what BestFriend?

I think i'm really going to like this new place where i'll be living . . .but i'm still going to miss you, and our morning chats.

Hurley

Dear new Mom and Dad (i am hearing these words a lot, so I am going to try this out) I wanted to show you (and everyone else) my NEW favourite toy! (the wubba is old news, . . . well, its in pieces and no fun anymore) It's called a Hurley, and its green, and i can chew it, and chew pieces off of it . . .

I take it EVERYWHERE

Foster Momma says it helps keep me entertained, but i just like it! New Mom and Dad, can i please have one of these at your house? Um  . . . MY New house (gulp!)

The only time i like to take my Hurley out of my mouth is when i have kibbles. Oh, also, can I maybe NOT have a pink bowl at your house? Foster Momma says this was a "donation" - pfft! Something in a boy colour please?

Also, might you have a take me out for walkies coat that MATCHES my Hurley? If not, thats cool too!

Mmmmm! Hurley!

Pillow Talk

Hey BestFriend . . .

Yes Hippo

Can we have a chat?

Sure, lets get more comfortable

So FosterMomma said I'm moving soon, to a really cool place where i am going to do really fun stuff . . . but i'm going to miss you, and am a little nervous about things being different . . .

Thats great Hippo, i will miss you, sometimes . . . you'll be fine, i heard the phone call too (you were to busy running around with things in your mouth, ahem!), they sounds really great! You're gonna get to do so much fun stuff! Trust an elderbull, i know these things. I've listened for Foster Momma have MANY of these phone calls over time.

Foster Momma promised that my new parents will let me sleep in bed . . .

Thats good Hippo, you knew she would!

Do you think they'll let me bring my toys in bed too?

I'm sure they will Hippo, but maybe opt for a stuffy over that gross chewed fire hose, honestly kid!

Thanks BestFriend, you always know how to make me feel better.

You're welcome Hippo, now, sleeeeeping . . .

Right, yup, wanna snuggle my toy . . .?!
