Resident Idiot Climbs Onto a Desk but Somehow Can’t Get Down
Was gone for an hour so no idea how long he was stuck (he is okay now after a rescue operation and climbing box has been moved)

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]

Sweet Boy Benny is doing EXCEPTIONAL!!!! He takes his meds & his medicated baths like a dream and I can already see fresh hair growth 🤗 He had a vet visit yesterday and was given the all-clear to get his neuter surgery scheduled 🥳🥳🥳 He loves all the babies, but little foster kitten Baby Phillip is his little bestie 🥰🥰🥰 He is utterly smitten with my grandbaby and the feeling is totally mutual 🩷 Once Benny is neutered, he will be available for adoption!! I am hoping to get his DNA done - that seems to be a big boost for adoptions when people know what they’re getting so 🤞🤞 I’m thinking of changing Benny’s “official” name to Benjamin Buttons, because I think he’s about to age in reverse. I cannot believe he’s the same age as my Fen Chicken 🤯🤯🤯Thank you to everyone who has sent Benny love!! I so appreciate the support I get on this sub 😭😭

This is my best friend. We've been together for almost ten years. I rescued him when a neighbor moved out and left him behind
He's very sweet, very smart, and very silly. He loves to cuddle. He loves to make people laugh
His fur is soft like puppy fur! And he has longer fur on his tai
I work from home so we can always be together. He is velcro. He have a close bond

She was the most beautiful and sweet soul I have ever known. My sweet velvet hippo meant more than the world, moon, and stars to me. She lived a whole years after being diagnosed with small cell lymphoma. I will never love a soul as much as I have loved her.
Our entire time with her has been nothing but firsts. My most favorite first was over the last month where she learned how to watch TV, her favorite show was The Walking Dead, just like me. She loved Rick the most. She also enjoyed Trailer Park Boys on days where I wanted a lighter palette.
We had a vet come to our home instead of past experiences of carrying her sweet brothers to the vet's office for their last moments. She saw all of her favorite people on her way out. We couldnt have done anything better while caring for her in life and death. We are so lucky. She is asleep in our backyard under the trees where we can visit her anytime. We are so grateful and so lucky.
Kiss your dogs for us. ❤️❤️❤️
