Hippo New Year!

Happy Hippo New Year, Everybody!!!


Even though I'm quite the party animal, I took a little time out to think about some New Year's resolutions. Here's my list:

1. I resolve to keep up my cute, adorable, and fuzzy exterior
2. I resolve to take good care of my humans
3. I resolve to encourage everyone to have a hippo friend!
4. I resolve to catch up on blogging about my 2008 adventures.
5. I resolve to blog about my 2009 adventures
6. I resolve to eat more cookies.

I think I can keep these resolutions--especially the cookie one. Anyone else have some resolutions (or cookies) to share?


Just one more from me:

7. I resolve to stay awake all the way through my next party!

Dr. Hippo

Some of you might have noticed my lengthy absence this month. Duty called and I donned my doctor duds to take care of one of my humans following his surgery.



Now that he is home, I can take better care of him. A prescription for milk and cookies-and plenty of hippo supervision-is just what the doctor ordered for a speedy recovery!



Take two (cookies--not hippos!) and call me in the morning.

H(ipp)O, H(ipp)O, H(ipp)O! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to Hippofans everywhere! I hope everyone got everything they wanted! I know my stocking was full.



I get really into holidays--especially Christmas. I even got my very own Santa suit this year! Here I am with a little friend.




Maybe I can even be one of Santa's Little Helpers next year!

This Much

Hippo Loves You!

The Discovery of Pumpkin Pie

You mean pumpkins come in pie form and I'm only learning about this now?!

When the winds turn cold and snow begins to hide the grass, it's a good time to stay in a cozy place and read stories.

Hippo's friend Hazel shared this photo of her reading to some fluffy friends. She must be a very good reader, because her personal penguin seems very interested.

I just hope the choice of reading material, Hippos Go Berserk!, doesn't indicate a plan that might land them all on Santa's naughty list this year.
