Mr. Postman

Yesterday we were gettings ready to go on our regular walk to the post office. then mom said this time would be a little different. she said since most of the mail is for the Hippo, that the Hippo should carry his own mail!! then she showed me the Hippo mail bag...

mom put the Hippo mail bag on me and i made lots of wiggles cause it felt funny on my Hippo body.  then i gaves mom my super duper sad face and decided to immediately play dead...

mom said "that won't work on me little Hippo, we are going to the post office anyway!". so i had a drink to make sure that i could make the trip and off we went...

luckily i was able to moves almost at the speed of hippo.  mom said she liked it because it slowed me down enough so that we were almost loose leash walking???

anyway, here is me at my post office before mom put the mails in the Hippo mail bag...

and here is me after mom put the mails in the Hippo mail bag...there was a little more hippo mail than expected!!

Oh yeah, and did i mention it was minus 4 degrees with flurries fallings on me!  sometimes it's just better to take the Hippo-mobile!!

Unsolved Mystery: The Water Box

I'm not sure if you noticed, but there is a big water box in my yard. it just sits there. mom and dad do the yard work and gardenings around it, but nothing else....until this weekend.

dad got out a big stick and i thought we were going to play with it. i was going to bite the thingy on the end of it, but then it disappeared into the water box!

 When it came back out, there were stinky old wet leaves on it and dad dumped them right on my feets!!

 

 

i watched dad do this overs and overs and the stinky old leaves just kept on coming up out of the water box. i patrolled the area around the water box hoping i could get a bite of the stick, but dad made it go ins and outs so fast!

All of this patrolling was very tirings so I rested a while on the grass...

Then dad went inside and came back out with a treat for me! Yay, liver!  dad said no liver hippo, just a nice cold ice cube???  i decided to try it so dad put it in my mouth. i tried to carry it around but it got really COLD so I spit it out on my deck. It was crunchy and fun, but I prefer liver, yum yum!

After the crunchy ice cube frozed my teefs I laid on my deck and tried to warm up. 

It just wasn't warm enough for me so i asked mom if i could go to my favorite sunny spot.  she said of course Hippo, you can keep an eye on us from there. So after dad got all the leaves out of the water box he put the stick away and that was it!!

So for the meantime, the water box continues to be a mystery....

Gardenings Day!

Today was a beautiful day for something called gardenings!

Early this morning, mom said, "come on Hippo, let's get to work"! First we checked on the early springs flowers and gave them good sniffs.

Then it was time to cleans up all the old dead stuffs. I said, "mom, you do that, and i'll sniffs around back here under the big trees".

Then i came back out and looked at something mom called a vine. Soon enough i got caughts all up in the vine and mom had to help me out.

So then i watered the grass in a few different spots. This makes the lawn nice and yellow.

Then i just watched mom for a while, but i was getting a little booored...

So i decided to watch out for the orange cat that visits us sometimes....but no sign of him today.

I was getting a bit too much sun, so mom said i could relax in the shade for a bit...

Then it was time to get back to work, so i decided i better fertilize the plants...right on top of them is usually best...

Then i decided to rest again, all that pushing is hard work!!

I told mom i was pretty much done for the day. She said i could go relax on my deck if i wanted to. So i did and i fell asleeps in the sun...

Mom wokes me up and said that i could go on the nice chair instead of the hard deck. I jumped up on the chair right away and plunked myself down. This gardenings stuff is hard work for a hippo!

Happy Easter!

Today i wokes up and Mom said "Happy Easter Hippo"! So i said "mom, what's Easter"? She said she wanted to show me something first. so we went to my sofa, i jumped up on the back, looked out my window and saw THIS!!!

What, SNOW!?! Me and Easter were definitely not getting off on the right paw. So i put my hat on and went outside to relieve my hippo bladder.

When i came back inside, mom told me something very special happens on Easter. An Easter treat hunt! So i thought, hmmm, maybe i should rethink my position on Easter. Lookits me findings some of my Easter treats...

It was so much fun, and it went ons and ons and ons!  After i founds all the treats, i had to rests up, because i'm hoping tomorrow will be Easter again...
