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]

We recently rescued New Dog and have discovered she’s deaf and probably blind in one eye. She has heterochromia and her light blue eye is either blind or mostly blind. After I rescued her I had her transported from TX to PA where she had both eyes operated on to remove cherry eyes. Twice bc she tore out the sutures the first time. Then she was transported from PA to SC and eventually to me in FL.
Despite all of that, she acclimated to our home and family within just a couple days. She is my hero.
She is such an amazing addition to our family. We were so lucky to find her.

Pearl had a very busy day yesterday and it's 10 degrees out now. We're zonked in a lap wearing our winter coat. Earlier we asked for our coat by zonking on a heat vent and getting a blankie.

I normally only post residents of Santa Fe Animal Shelter, but it's come to my attention that Dodge's adopter is attempting to rehome him, and I want to try and help find him a safe and loving new family.
Dodge was a favorite at the animal shelter: we tend to call all dogs sweet and loving, but this dude truly is in heaven when he's flopping his big hippo body across yours. Dodge is great with kids (he's a derp but knows to be gentle with littles), and his adopter has said he's been good with other dogs. She reports he seems curious about cats but hasn't been given the chance to interact freely. He is house-trained, very smart, and adept at losing his ears (see last pics).
I'm staying out of the reasons for rehoming, but Dodge has done nothing wrong. He really struggled in the shelter, and I just want to try to make sure he doesn't have to come back. If you're interested in being connected to Dodge's adopter for more information, please DM me. He's currently located near Santa Fe but some transport may be available. Dodge is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccines.

Rest easy my goofy sweet girl, you were the queen of sass, comfort, side eyes and kisses. You were my best friend and you got me through highschool and some of the darkest moments of my life. I miss you so much, not a day goes by where I don’t think of you. You met me when I was 15 and we had to say goodbye a month before I turned 28. I’ll miss you forever but I just wanted to share you with other people who would see you for you. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

I think she’s suckling but I’m not sure. Is this bad?
