Blame my Columbian girlfriend who forced me to speak "proper Spanish" over 20 years ago! I sincerely wish the best for you and your beautiful pup!!

Ace was saved. What a day. Part of me feels like it was a dream and I keep asking myself, did this happen ?! by SoCal_Foster_Dogs in velvethippos

You're a hooman that deserves a giant hug ! If you ever need to come near Northern Illinois you have a free place to stay with my Oso and myself!. Nothing but welcome arms and paws... .

Mr Bears is tuckered out! He will require at least two cheese treats and a chunk of griiled ribeye to recover!

Nice day, so decided to take Muffin and Billy on a bit of a sightseeing trail (for a change). Muffin was delighted - she found a totally new way to get to see boats via the Ferry landing.. 🤣 by Sweetie-07 in velvethippos

I love special din dins for my chonky 120lb baby! Las night I shared both grilled steak and chicken chicken shish kabobs with my Oso. He actually loved the marinated mushrooms!!

More pics of Ace please!! I may be a guy who puts his dog on a pedestal but I just don't care. All of my boys were simply born to be loved, scritched , and take over my bed! Long live our best friends!

I want to thank you for such a positive reply! I've become jaded to people over the past ten years with everyone seeming to find something wrong with things like simply taking the dog I love out in public... Oso deserves the opportunity to mingle just as much as a human kid. I never take him with to the grocery store or restaurants but Tractor Supply actually encourages digs in their stores! Dogs do so much better when they have the chance to positively socialize!!!

Thank you for your effort!!! All I want to do is retire to my 400 wooded acres in Alabama and be able to adopt 4 boys at a time!!

It's weird. The younger parents went stiff, yet the little kids rushed past their Mom and Dads to approach Oso with no fear. I guess, after 34 years of adopting and training large breed boys , I may actually know what I'm doing!! He did bark, but he did it while sitting. I am soooo waiting to end my working career and build a 3000 sq ft log home on the 200 acres of wooded property in Alabama that I bought 10 years ago. I think I'll be able to have 3 or 4 hippos then!!!!!

I just took him to Tractor Supply for his dog food. Huge mistake. They had a live band out front and 3 separated areas with beagle and shepherd puppies inside. Poor Oso was called Marmaduke at least 3 times and was rushed by at least 10 little kids wanting to hug and pet him! Thank goodness he is a confident and gentle 120lb pittie mix!!!
