Here's a recent pic of Hippo our blueborn. He is 1 year & 4 months old & a healthy little guy!!
As you can see in his photos he has very 'skimpy' hair. His skin seems to get oily & makes him feel 'greasy' at times~but with frequent bathing~it makes a huge difference & he feels soft again.
He has virtually no hair on his ears, nose & fronts of his legs or back of his tail. ~Makes for easy grooming!! :O
He is always full of energy & very helpful rounding up our chickens & goats!! He is so comical to watch as every morning he runs so fast~like a little wind-up toy~around our entire property clearing out the 'vermin' that don't belong there!! ie. wild rabbits & squirrels!! & He only barks if he sees something.
He is a sweet little guy & we love him to bits!! Another thing that makes him unique ~ is that he has longer legs than his mom & dad & is very lean. He uses his arms to wrap around you when you are holding him~like a little monkey!! It feels like he's hugging you!! We all baby him~he is very special to us & we are enjoying every moment with him!! |
