And finally: Fiona Gets a Room Upgrade
I hope you kids aren’t getting tired of Fiona, because the chubby preemie hippo continues to be relentlessly interesting. Now she’s been introduced to her new larger digs closer to mom and dad, complete with a heated pool and big-screen TV tuned to The Fiona Channel. (Thanks, Lois M. and Gigi the cat lady!)
Who could get tired of Fiona? I love her careful and cautious examination of the new space and her pleasure in the heated water.
I have one word for the wood carving: Wow.
Service puppies are too cute! I know a woman who raises seeing-eye puppies. They got one back because he failed the next phase of training. Now he’s a pet. Oh well.
What great links, each and every one. But check out the video included in the stray dog story. It’s 13+ minutes long but so worth it. I’m bawlin’ my eyes out here!
Me too!
Same here. A great feel good story and very well done.
Me too. I’m so happy for Arthur, and his human family. The team were all wonderful to sacrifice their chances in the race to save the dog.
I could never tire of Fiona either, and bravo for the rest of the linkies! The relaxed cats had me giggling. And all the goggies–so brave and sweet. King Arthur had me cheering. Where can I get a baby goat?
Some of those cats should be holding a sign that reads “I aten’t dead”.
Also, I want a heated wading pool!

“Taking a bite outta crime soon(tm)”
Love, love, love all the links today. The King Arthur story reminds me of the marathoner in Asia who also was found by a stray dog. Now Gobi is back in the UK living it up, a book is coming out PLUS a movie! The relaxing cats and tiny pups are sooooo cute. And who can get tired of Fiona?? I am seriously going to that artist’s website (if he has one) and buying me a bowl – they are freaking amazing!
Happy Hump Day everyone!
When you find out how much they cost, please let us know! I drooled over several on his website that aren’t up in this list, but prices are only available if you contact him to ask. 🙁 I would love one myself, but I’m afraid that after this year’s tax bill, we’re SOL on luxury items for a while!
I drooled too but as the old saying goes, if you have to ask how much they are then you can’t afford them. Plus I’d have to think about the shipping charges and the tax/duties/custom fees. Big sigh, I think I’ll just admire the pictures for now. Until I win the lottery and then all bets are off, lol.
What fun!
Also bebe hippo tongueage at about 1:40!
I could never tire of Fightin’ Fiona! 30 years from now we’re going to be like “Fiona and her offspring went for a swim today, then ate a watermelon…”
Works for me.
Bebeh goatling is adorbs, but I’m not so happy that her new hoomin likes to go around killing goats with his mechanical bow and arrows. He should stick to shooting photos with his camera. Those surfing pix are pretty good.

They are gorgeous!
I’m too scared to ask, but if someone finds out a price, could you please let us know so we can mourn?
Those bowls must cost a king’s ransom – the work is so detailed and precise. Beautiful. Loved the kitties being their adorable lazy selves, the working dogs of the future. Not sure I trust the guy with the goat. LOVE anything about fiona – she looks so squidgible. Haven’t taken the time to look at the dog video – looking forward to that later. Good bunch o’ links, tho’ – good job to all.
GAAAHHHHHH!
Today’s update!
I want to be the person to squirt water for the hippos!!!!
I’ve got that video queued up for first thing tomorrow. Fiona in the morning, what could be better?
You da MAN!
Goodie! Looking forward to it.
