A newborn baby hippopotamus

And finally: Flappin’ and Slappin’

This nice lady has a whole farm to feed, but she’s not ducking out of cuddle time. (via Andrew Y.)

    Poor little Hopper; so glad the driver was paying attention.
    It’s amazing what a difference a good grooming makes. He looks like a totally different dog.

      He really does. What luck for Hopper and his new family.

    Squeeeeing at the new baby pygmy hippo. I just melt whenever I see one.

    Good luck, dear Steve. You’re handsome even without feathers.

    I am crying with laughter over dear Eleanor. “Lord love a duck” takes on a whole new meaning. Can’t wait to see what Duckie says about this!

      Yes, He does, Deb.
      “The nice lady” appears to be a combination of me and The Girl With The Dogs. And I have been beaten with a budgie wing, but I can’t imagine how much a duck wing would hurt.
      But I’d like to try.

        I’ve sent Mike a picture of Little Duckie beating the snot out of my husband with her wings.

            Fantastic! Duckie, you need an Eleanor now.

    Little Hopper’s story has stayed with me all day. I think there is a Dog Distribution System too. But who could do such an unconscionable thing!? Just leave the dog out if you don’t want him, but to put him in a dumpster? – I hope there is an eternal cycle of dumpster-to-trash-compactor waiting in hell for whoever did this.
    On the brighter side – Hopper was so lucky to have been taken by Gabriel and his Mrs. He looks amazing and so happy. Great that such a bad story has such a wonderful ending.
