One of the Facebook groups I belong to has this thing about House Hippos. The notion of a House Hippo comes from a Canadian PSA.
So everyone in that group is constantly looking for their very own House Hippo.
My granny lived in a mobile home park called the Fountain of Youth Spa in Niland, near the Salton Sea for many years, She had a friend, Glenn, who carved many wooden items as a hobby. I found the hippo in a container of things that he carved and gave to my granny. I have a couple of his birds - a goose and a quail - with flappy wings hanging from my planters in the living room.
So my very own House Hippo came to live with me. I named him Henry.
Do you have your own House Hippo?
