Hippy

We have a new pet. Not that I've seen her.

Rachel can see her though. I'm told her name is Hippy. She is a hippopotamus.

I don't know when she came home. I do know one of the Wiggles brought her home from the animal shelter. She is gray.

When Rachel went to preschool, Hippy waited outside on the playground. She must be pretty agile or a really skinny hippo, because no slides or swings appeared to be bent or broken.

Rachel makes sure Hippy is well fed. When she's out in the front yard, she tears up weeds and green leaves and leaves them in a pile in the driveway. Rachel is always concerned Hippy may not have enough to eat.

Even though I can't see her, I am glad Hippy has Rachel and Rachel has Hippy.
