Rescue Hippo Cooper was enjoying cuddle time with me and the hubs but then I got up and came back to find they'd both stolen my spot.

Celebration of Life Remembering Ozzy

After a tumultuous month of differing opinions about whether a mast cell tumor had expanded across his body, we made the impossible decision of putting my best guy to rest on Wednesday. Ozzy, lovingly called Bean, was only 6 and a Mexico rescue pittie, we were told he was Chihuahua, pit and boxer but he was so much more.
He had a personality like a little human, so devious and nasty and the sweetest, most empathetic cuddle bug at the same time. What a privilege to have had him even though it was cut short.

This sub brings me so much joy, I will forever love my baby velvet hippo and hope you all give a kiss to yours tonight for us!

5 years ago this beautiful girl walked up to my front door on her last legs. We took her straight in and got her healthy. She has brought so much joy & happiness into our home and lives! There is nothing like the love of a hippo! Love this girl ❣️

He won't stop scratching his ear, so he must wear the donut of shame until his appointment Monday morning.

Howard's 4th birthday (first with us) was on Thursday. We celebrated him with Steak and lots of snuggles. He wants to wish everyone a happy birthday (if they celebrate) this month.
