Fiona’s on fire! Check out Earth’s Favorite Hippo as she hops on mom’s back for a quick ride, and then launches into a triple barrel roll! Fan-flippin-tastic!
Fiona hitching a ride then doing an impressive dismount. Hippos can hold their breath for up to 5 minutes before pushing off the bottom to come up for air. Resurfacing for air is so instinctual that a hippo sleeping underwater will rise and breathe without waking up. pic.twitter.com/59StGzIcSU

Far out, Andrew Y.
Heya Gigi, how are you? I think Emsthemonster was looking for you? Do you have snow yet in Montreal?
No snow yet but we are expecting some wet snow tonight. Luckily it’s too early for it to stay for long because it’s still over the freezing mark in the daytime but it won’t be long now, which reminds me I have to buy a new shovel.
I’ve been lurking in the back alleys of Cutetropolis, just didn’t feel like I had anything to contribute .
Gigi, you always have something to contribute, even if you’re just saying hi. Everyone here is loved, and we like to hear from all.
Question for general discussion: is Fiona’s nose boopable?
Yes, great to see you, Gigi! I sometimes am quiet when I’m really busy or really lazy, so I understand; but it’s always good to know everyone is okay whether they’re quiet or not.
Duckie asked:
> is Fiona’s nose boopable?
Answer: How could it NOT be? Every part of Fiona is adorably boopable, from her teensy nostril-closing nose to her precious neck rolls, her round tummy, her her large flat toes, or her stubbular little tail!
You left out the flippety ears!
Great to see you, Gigi!
I do that a lot, too, Gigi. Luckily, unlike some others, these back alleys aren’t dark and scary. 🙂
Nice to see you again, Gigi
I’ve just noticed your absence and hoped everything is OK.
(I have a mental list of “missing” Cutetropolitans, like Starfish, Mich Patt etc., I didn’t mean to annoy anyone, everyone should comment whenever they feel like – I just hope everyone is alright “behind the scenes”)
Glad you’re back!
Hipposurfing. All the kids are doing it now.
Her belly made me think of the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I wanted to poke it with my finger!
