Dear potential adopters

Foster Momma and I have a bit of a "wish list" for my future home (explained on my petfinder profile), but I think I just added something else!

I'd like a dog bed, and elevated one, that has sun shining on it.

For now, this unused coffee table will have to do (so pedestrian, I even had to bring my own pillow).

Week of the Walrus!

If there's one thing this HouseHippos loves, it's visitors and new friends! (especially ones with silly animals names like i have!)

And last night my Auntie Lisa brought her dog "The Walrus" (who was the dog i met the day i got out of the smelly, noisey, scary place) to come bunk with us for a week while she's away.

He was a little sad when Auntie Lisa left, so i tried to help cheer him up . . . 

I showed him how to sit to get cookies . . .

Foster Momma let him sleep in her bed so he felt more at home (harrumph, i was back in my crate), and i think that helped him because this morning he was more than happy to share the bed and cuddle with me!

I'm getting real good at the cuddling. And his brindled bum was very warm on my tummy!

Don't worry Walrus, we'll have lots of fun this week! I promise!

Bed Buddies

"Hey BestFriend . . . "

"Yes Hippo?"

"I smell better today, can we cuddle?"

"Hippo i'm tired, mornings are for sleeping dude"

"(sigh) okay, i'll just lie here and keep you company, but if you decide you want to cuddle . . ."

"Hippo . . .shhhhhh, sleeping"

"okay, i'm not even touching you . . . "

"uh huh . . "

"still not touching you . . ."
"HIPPO!!!! Moooooom . . . make him stop"

"okay okay . . . (whispers) i'll just lie here and keep you company . . ."

"sure, whatever, still sleeping . . ."

"right, sleeping . . .i can do that . . . ."

"BestFriend Quinn . . . um, can we be friends forever please?"

"yes Hippo, but only if you are quiet and let an old dog sleep . . . zzZZZzzzz"

Smells like . . .

"Hey BestFriend . . ."

 

"Yes HouseHippo . . .?"

 

"Why won't you come snuggle with me?

 

"Because your tail end is making bad smells . . ."

 

"Oh . . .um . . . you noticed, I'm sorry . . . "

 

"what if I put my toes like this?"

 

"No dice? what if i lie on my side?"

 

"Still no? What if I pout?"

"Okay, well, at least i'm still near you . . . and that makes me smile!"

Up for WHAT?!?!?!

Thats right friends, i am officially up for adoption (gulp)

Foster Momma posted my details to Petfinder

She said this is a good thing, and exciting and wonderful thing, and i believe her, almost, because even though she smiled when she explained to me what was going to happen, her cheeks were salty and wet when i licked her face . . .

Foster Momma promised to find the most perfect place for me to go and live. Somewhere where i can bounce on the furniture with my wubba, somewhere that will train me more and want to do fun things with me, feed me good food and not mind my picky palette or gas after meals!

So i guess this is it . . . 

I just can't believe BestFriend can't come with me . . . 

I Wubba it!

Whoa boy! I discovered something new last night! And i played with it, i chased after it, i carried it around, i let it go when asked, i waited for it . . . 

i was teased with it . . .

and i CHEWED IT!

i love love LUVVA my Wubba!

Can't a dog just get some sleep?

Happy 2012 everyone!

I have more news! You're favorite Eugenious has also figured out how to make the other couch more comfy! (sssnnnnnnZZZzzzzZZZzzzz)

Now if Foster Momma would just stop with the photos and giggling so I could get my handsome sleep!
