Hug Your Hippo

When your squeaky toy won’t squeak
When you’ve been stuck inside all week
When the big dog barks and growls
To interrupt your nightly prowls
Your food is bland, your kibble stale
The baby always pulls your tail
Whenever life gets harsh and rough
Just hug your hippo; that’s enough

A sleeping kitten lies on a carpeted floor holding on to a stuffed hippo toy
What would I do without you?

From Imgur: “I rescued Stanley and his hippo today. The shelter said they were a package deal.”
