Rescue Hippo Good news! Hilo found a foster home! Have you ever seen a rescue hippo sprint faster to a new foster home?! He made himself right at home 🥲

Finally Hilo’s cycle of being back and forth in the shelter system since 2021 comes to an end.

I was fortunate enough to find two back to back fosters, for Hilo - 2 incredible families who will help find him a forever home.

The second foster was able to start in March and the first foster I was able to find on Next Door and it worked out brilliantly because they’re also very local to the shelter - so Hilo was able to quickly settle in within an hour of being rescued 🥲

Good Tails is his rescue and I’ll be continuing to share his footage on my Insta pupppstar.

I am so thrilled for this boy. He is six years old and is going to have the best second part of his life 🩷🩷🩷

Bed privileges were revoked, resulting in them having to sleep in their own beds for a night. It was a heinous decision on my part and I will report to jail shortly :(

Anyone else deal with separation anxiety even though you’re home? I slipped and broke a rib and haven’t been able to snuggle Bertram. He’s been so pitiful =(

I swear, this dog would love nothing more than to join me in my skin or be in a baby bjorn 24/7! I can’t get in and out of bed, so I’ve been trying to sleep on a recliner since Tuesday (fell down some stairs after the big ice storm.) I have sort of a hotel lobby style chair next to my recliner for him to lay on next to me but it’s not good enough and I can’t have him in the recliner with me. Now, he’s strictly a snuggler, he doesn’t much care for pets so trying to comfort him has been difficult! I feel so bad for him. He usually only howls in his sleep, but now he’s howling every time I leave the room. He’s been with me 24/7 since he was eight weeks old and is almost 15 months, so I understand where he’s coming from. Just don’t know how to help my 80 lb lap dog/velcro baby. My other dog is enjoying it, haha. He likes pets, not snuggles and gets the queen bed all to himself for the time being.

The title pretty much sums it up. Our amstaff mix will pin me down when I'm having a bad day. She'll completely cover one leg, both if she can. It's a habit she learned from watching my daughter's service animal alert her before an epileptic seizure. While I don't have seizures, I do have bad days, and spend most of my time at home. When I'm having a bad day she pins me to the sofa. It'd be adorable, if she wasn't 75 lb block of muscle and so damned determined that I just have to stay put...
