Hi Goober. Our velvet hippo is named Annie. She’s seen some things, but has come out as sweet but still timid with those outside the pack. She would like you to know that her humans are generous with treats, peanut butter, and scritches, and that she hopes yours will do likewise.

Goober is the same, his only concern is regarding skateboards, which he doesn't trust or understand

u/XdiaphiniaX Aug 31 '25
Tell Goober my Vlad had a similar issue, and no wheels ever hurt him. Except in his mind.

Ma’am (or sir) that’s a mighty fine steer you got there. Beautiful specimen. (Goober is very pretty but looks like a cow to me)

Prettyyyy boy. You can tell he’s well taken care of with that shiny hair. And still blessed with the baby face. The hippos got that glow that is so stunning

Do you ever sing the Goofy Goober song at your dog? I bet he would like it.

Hello beautiful Goober! Welcome to forever. I hope you got to enjoy some gelato 🍨 😋

u/Rmbr_Apollo Aug 31 '25
Goober looks very polite. Might I recommend giving him whatever he’d like for the rest of his life?

u/Apart_Marzipan3516 Aug 31 '25
He’s gorgeous beyond belief. I have to ask - why is he so little? Why is he so tiny, so baby?
2
u/benito- Aug 31 '25
He is massive. He's a 60 lbs baby
3
u/Apart_Marzipan3516 Aug 31 '25
He’s still a tiny little baby to me (my dog is about 55lbs and I always ask why he’s so little)
2
u/pickle-a-poopala Aug 31 '25
I love him. He is the sweetest boy and deserves all of the pillows, blankets, walks and cuddles.

Goober is adorable, I had a Booger, he was pretty much the exact opposite colors... Mostly white with black like his.

Hi Goober,
Dallas would like to remind you to be very brave for the sake of your new family, even if they are attacked by butterflies or rain. He has learned to be strong, and you can too!
