(First, it’ll be the chin scratch — yep, there it is — to be followed by the painful cheek pinch and the cooing of “Have you been a good girl, Beatrice?”)
It’s a baby dik-dik borned at the Chester Zoo. Story, mo’ pitchas here.
Oh Gawd, It’s Aunt Doris
August 19, 2012 By
The Chester Zoo is obviously ruled by a dik-dik-tatorship.
Hey, watch it about Aunt Dorises. I’m an Aunt Theresa, after all.
I LOVE it! My mom’s name was Doris so she was Aunt Doris to many, many nieces and nephews! Hooray for Aunt Doris!
*waving pompoms* Dor-is! Dor-is! Dor-is!
So: face of an owl + mohawk + bun ears + capybara rump + twiglet legs of a fawn = dikdik
Check.
Auntie-Lope, I get it . . .

my very favorite Auntie was a Doris

Also – I was in an airport this afternoon and saw that someone had put a Hello Kitty sticker on the defibrillator machine in the terminal. Made. My. Day. Was that done by one of y’all??
PuhLEASE, some CO’er, and we are Legion, post that pic!
Ah. Lurv.Eet.
OHMAHGAWHD an ACTUAL HK (on a defibrillatorthingamajigg)????
kaCHING.
Ok, this is cute but I think I still prefer the desktop model.
No use of the dik dik tag?
Just the right size for my desktop – that must be the one I ordered!
1: a cynical personality in a dik-dik is an unthought-of juxtaposition for me.
2: wow now THAT is one (cough) HEALTHY, PLUMP lil gal (the dik-dik not the human connected to the hand) there!!! No impending starvayshe, on that lil one!!!
Huge fuzzy ball on toothpick legs…

All I do now … is Dik Dik around.
