Heartbreaker the Hippo
Heartbreaker was a well loved hippo. He once had a silk tie with white hearts, but the hearts faded. His eyes once gazed on her person with all the love in the world, but now their gaze was imagined. He lost a bit of tail somewhere along the way, along with all the kishkes he lost in hugs. His ears were also worn to nubs. So Heartbreaker was feeling his age, and his person wanted to help him feel better. So she sent me some photos:
I took a look and knew that Heartbreaker would feel much better with a spa, some good stuffing food, and new eyes. I could patch up his tail and treat his other injuries, and I knew just the fabric for a new heart. His person agreed and Heartbreaker flew to California.
He started with a spa, but was a bit shy about bath photos, so the first photos here are his heart going in with a bit of his original stuffing.
Soon, Heartbreaker was feeling better! Clean and happily plump, sight and hearing restored, wounds repaired, and he was sporting a spiffy new tie and collar:
He flew home cross country to Massachusetts and his person wrote:
Heartbreaker has arrived and he looks beautiful. Thank you for giving me a piece of my youth back.
