Hi~here's another update on Hippo!! He just turned 5 weeks old & is eating very well & growing so fast!! He is now 2lbs 12oz!!! He is the biggest & smartest in the litter so far!! He was the first to eat 'puppy food' , the first to figure out how to climb out of the 'potty box' & the first to figure out how to use the 'potty box'. He also was the first to 'bark' and the first to run & play & is the most playful!! He is so cute when he is trying to run & jump to play!!
...But not so cute when he bites the 'potty pad' and tries to pull it out of the 'potty box' & run away with it!! :O
Here are some updated pics of him. I found a little santa hat & couldn't resist taking some 'seasonal' pics of him!!
The only concern I have for him~is that there is a tiny area about 1/2cm on top of his head that is very thin!! (you can see his scalp~kinda like male pattern thinning) The rest of his coat feels thick~his hair is much coarser than his brother's. He does have a 1" patch of white fur on his chest~not sure if that will help his 'hairlessness' in the future or not?!?
