    House hippos have to be rubbed with Crisco every day to keep their skin supple.

    So sad that he’s gone but he made people happy while he was here.

    • The very first time I ever saw a pygmy hippo was a brand-new baby that had just been born at a zoo in Chicago. It was literally the size of a football, I couldn’t believe how teensy it was in its precious little blorpitude! So I fell madly in love with Prince Harry when he was born, too. I just found out this evening that he’s no longer with us. Now I haz a sad. :( A great big sad, bigger than little Prince Harry was. :( But yes, he did bring a lot of joy in his short life, didn’t he? Such a happy little boy!

      I was VERREH VERREH corn-swaggled (aka puzzled) when nobody tossed that line here,

    I’m still singing this, FYI. I also was doing some interpretive dance to it last night. My own family is ashamed of me.
