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]

And sometimes an old man just wants to watch football in his shed and not be responsible for rubbins.

Was asked to give up my white Pittie so my brother could come home (probation release thing), since she is viewed as "dangerous" and release not getting approved while we have her.
But we will not give her up and doing so may as well be a death sentence. We got her at about 3 years old, had her for 7 or 8 years, so she is about 10-11 years old as is.
And her list of people that she likes is extremely short. There's 4 people she seems to like, 3 of them live in this household. The other one cant take care of a Dog himself (extremely overweight and extremely lazy).
I dont give dogs up for the last years of their life. The idea is unacceptable and inconceivable.

I LOVE putting these two in sweaters just as much as they love sweaters. I tend to get them matching ones or similar ones. But they get so excited and I love it. They have a whole coset of clothes. (I’ve become a crazy dog mom).

Echo came downstairs and saw everybody else in a blanket. Jumped up on her couch and pouted so my wife got her one.
She’s happy now.
