Oh Brother!

Everybody knows that I love my SkunkFish and my SkunkFish loves me.  But when he came to stay with us, Mom told me not to get too attached to my FosterBrother because he would eventually move on to his furever home.  This made me really sads because me and my SkunkFish have become brothers for reals.

We had no choice but to be as cute as possible so that Mom and Dad's hearts would hurt if they made my SkunkFish go away.  So I whispered the plan into SkunkFish's ear...

He thought it was a great idea so here is what we dids....

We slept together like brothers...

 

and of course we played like brothers real cutes...

Then I made SkunkFish practice his looking cutes.  He didn't have to try that hard...

 

Eventually, Mom sat us down and said "what are you two up to"?  We explained that even though we are brothers from other mothers and fathers, that we feel like we came from the same litter.  To split us up would be mean and they could be charged with animal cruelties.  Mom said that she and dad would have to think about it.  In the meantime, me and my SkunkFish kept the pressure on by doing things like this...

(even with our devil eyes we look cutes) 

and sharing sun rays like brothers...

 

Then one morning we were all in bed doing our extreme cuddlings.  Mom and Dad said that if I really wanted my SkunkFish to be my brother for reals, then that was okay.  They said that they really love SkunkFish too and could not imagine him going away.  They said it was meant to be.  I ran outside and screamed yeeeeee hawwwwww!!!!!

Mom said shhhhh Hippo, you will wake the neighbours with all your hootin' and hollerin'!!!  I said I don't care!!!!  News this fantastics has to be shared!!!!!!!  Then me and my brother jumped for joy and hugged!!  Considering where we came from we just can't believes how luckies we are!!
