Goodnight, Fiona

Fiona the preemie hippo continues to get stronger, weighing 116 pounds as of last Wednesday. She also has lots of milk dreams, like this one captured close up. Says sender-inner Lois M., “This one is such a closeup of her nose/mouth the skin looks like a giant grey strawberry!”

    That level of cute needs some sort of warning label attached to it. My brain ‘sploded.

      I agree!!! I think this might be the best Fiona video, yet! She looks so soft and plump!

    Those must be some interesting dreams. I figure it goes something like this: *licks lips* “hmmm delicious meelkies, ooh hay treats from mama, but I don’t wanna go down the ramp – its scary, carry me into the pool, but I’m still a baby!, meelkies!” *licks lips*

      “…making giant splashies, nomming on my pool float…” *smacks lips*

    Glad you guys are enjoying the vids I get and send on on an almost daily basis from the Cincinnati Zoo. It’s fun following our beloved Fiona and watching her grow into a BIG (HUGE?) girl!! I couldn’t resist the description of her nose/face resembling a strawberry. Well, there are big big ‘craters’ on it but oh SUCH cute ones!! Her hairs sort of remind me of an elderly lady who has a bit of a beard!!

      Thank you for forwarding the links! I always wonder how she will be with her hoomins when she is full grown.

    • Smartypants March 31, 2017 / 7:08 pm

      So glad you are our “Special Fiona Correspondent”! I love watching her progress.

    • Murray C. March 31, 2017 / 9:59 pm

      Yes, thank you so much for keeping us up to date on Fiona. I feel so invested in her doing well.

      I have a hair like that. Just one. On my cheek.

    I know others have posted this sentiment but I have to say it again…before Fiona came along if someone told me that I would go all mushy and melty over a hippo, baby or not, I wouldn’t have believed it. Now here’s me…awww people! How sweeeet is that widdle tongue???
