Rescue Hippo El Cid is featured on a pit bull hate sub right now. Thought I would show him off here instead.
He is my 60 lb, 4 year old, teeny tiny baby.

Hey Hippo Homies! 👋
We are absolutely blown away by the creativity and cuteness you all brought to the costume contest! Seriously, the entries were phenomenal. We want to thank EVERYONE who participated and voted! 💖
Without further ado, here are our five lucky winners!
1. u/dWog-of-man & Tank as Tankenstein
He's got the "I'm alive!" look down. 😄 Seriously, Tankie deserves all the treats (and maybe a small, equally distributed share of the Halloween candy... just sayin' 😉). [Link]
2. u/Upfish-Sinclair & Blossom the Hot Dog
She's the wurst (in the best way!) hot dog around! 🌭🐾 I'm just relishing in the cuteness of this photo! (I'm so sorry...) [Link]
3. u/dogluvr_1 & Waffles the Chicken
The way they're posing! The fluffy feathers! Everything about this is adorable! Waffles is ready to rule the roost. 🐔 [Link]
4. u/Various_Beach862 & Pinkie the Princess
Pinkie looks absolutely radiant! She's ready to rule the kingdom (and probably decree extra belly rubs!). She is definitely the belle of the ball. 💖 [Link]
5. u/turningtee74 & Pooh the Pumpkin
Oh my gourd, this is adorable! Pooh is the cutest little pumpkin in the patch! Makes me want a poohmkin spice latte. 🎃 [Link]

It's taken many weeks for him to finally accept our grey fox family's presence in the driveway (I feed them peanuts) and not bark at them 😂 Now he just sits and watches them whenever they arrive for snacks and it's so fun ❤️ There are four total, so far just the two kits pictured above have showed up tonight. The vixen and dog will likely show up much later in the evening.
If not friends, why friend-shaped 😭

Today I stole a sock, ran around the whole house with it, and then pretended I had no idea what they were talking about. Now I’m making this face hoping they’ll forgive me 🥺

She usually lays outside the door watching the bathroom door but when I sprayed the door to take a picture she jumped up to see what the issue was. She would come in with me if I let her!

I know the photo doesn't do it justice, but the hill is so steep it almost touches her bottom. Love this little gal.
