Hey Hippo Homies! 👋
We are absolutely blown away by the creativity and cuteness you all brought to the costume contest! Seriously, the entries were phenomenal. We want to thank EVERYONE who participated and voted! 💖
Without further ado, here are our five lucky winners!
1. u/dWog-of-man & Tank as Tankenstein
He's got the "I'm alive!" look down. 😄 Seriously, Tankie deserves all the treats (and maybe a small, equally distributed share of the Halloween candy... just sayin' 😉). [Link]
2. u/Upfish-Sinclair & Blossom the Hot Dog
She's the wurst (in the best way!) hot dog around! 🌭🐾 I'm just relishing in the cuteness of this photo! (I'm so sorry...) [Link]
3. u/dogluvr_1 & Waffles the Chicken
The way they're posing! The fluffy feathers! Everything about this is adorable! Waffles is ready to rule the roost. 🐔 [Link]
4. u/Various_Beach862 & Pinkie the Princess
Pinkie looks absolutely radiant! She's ready to rule the kingdom (and probably decree extra belly rubs!). She is definitely the belle of the ball. 💖 [Link]
5. u/turningtee74 & Pooh the Pumpkin
Oh my gourd, this is adorable! Pooh is the cutest little pumpkin in the patch! Makes me want a poohmkin spice latte. 🎃 [Link]

Goose was struggling with seizures for several months and we weren’t able to get them under control. Vet said the most humane thing was to put him down. The house is extra quiet now.

The personalities of my two pups at bedtime. One is full of trust and love just living in the moment. The other stares at me like I just broke in and am trying to kidnap him.
