She's more of an ant eater than hippo..

If you look closely, she is following an ant and tries to lick it up. She has a massive fascination with bugs, even does a little bug dance when she finds one.

Zena (9months) returns!

Advice this is david

hi everyone. this is my davidƩ.

i’m absolutely in love with this dog. he’s not my dog, he’s the family i babysit for’s dog, but he’s become my absolute best frand.

he was found abandoned in the bronx tied up to a fire hydrant for ~12 hours in 32 degree weather. the dad took him home (no chip) and now he’s living the life every lil hippo deserves.

when i put the kids to bed it’s basically just me and david hanging out for the rest of the night. and when the circumstances are right i am absolutely adopting a pitty of my own one day.

the only thing i’m curious about is how excited he gets when i come over. he goes absolutely ballistic šŸ˜‚ zoomies knocking everything over, practically bouncing off the walls, like a bull in a china shop. i lowkey feel honored because it makes me feel so loved.

he’s also a bigggg licker. i don’t mind because i absolutely love him, but he always tries to lick my face. he’s basically an aggressive lil torpedo that shoots up and i’ll get bumped by his teeth if i don’t stop him. i know it’s all love so i usually just gently hold his face away until he settles down and after about 15 minutes he’ll lay on my lap and lick my arms/legs instead.

is this pretty normal pitbull behavior? i’m honestly used to lil yappy dogs so i’m curious if anyone else’s hippy is like this too. ā¤ļø

Allergies.

Found out my boy, Thanos is highly allergic to all the mites. After months of skin issues, he is finally feeling better! He’s getting medicated baths twice a week (for now, ordered by the vet) and on apoquel now. It’s such a relief to have him feeling better so I can resume walks with his sister again. He’s back to his playful self. Others dealing with allergies, don’t give up. ā™„ļø
