Lassie and Benji the Hippos?

Earlier in July flat Lassie and Benji went to the Aquarium in Camden, NJ.

We saw 2 Hippos that Mommy found fascinating.  One was larger than the other, and almost instantaneously Mommy was calling the larger one Benji Hippo and the smaller one Lassie Hippo. 

Then, Mommy's niece and nephew (and maybe some stranger kids) were calling them Lassie and Benji the Hippos.  (oops)  So, don't be surprised when you hear our names being mentioned in the video.

Lassie Hippo's real name is actually "Button" and weighs 3,000 pounds.

Benji Hippo's real name is actually "Genny" and weighs 4,000 pounds.

Yes, the Hippos are actually both girls.

The Hippos ate romaine lettuce while we were there.

Mommy's favorite part of the Aquarium Visit was the Hippos! 

Photo: Genny the hippo is the larger one on the left.  Button is the one on the right.

This is Mommy wanting to see what me and Benji would actually look like as a Hippo.  She pulled out a Hippo mask and was singing that "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" song.

She was singing that "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" song for weeks! Thank dog she didn't record herself singing that song!

Do you see me (Lassie) looking thru the Hippo mask?

I think I look better as a Sheltie NOT a Hippo!

Have a Pawsome Day!

Rubber Band Bracelet Winners

This morning we had the official drawing for the Rubber Band Bracelet (and a Surprise Gift) from the Games we had for Benny the French Bulldog. 

Guess what we decided to have 2 winners instead of just one.

So, Benji and I both picked a card from a deck of 7 cards representing the 7 bloggers who entered the contest - and that's how we determined who the 2 winners were.


Here is the video...http://youtu.be/ZDWlxV-gsTo

The Twister Tournament was Pawsome

Thank you Sarge and the Crabby Girls (Hermit Crabs) for hosting the Twister Tournament as a fundraiser for Benny the French Bulldog.  We had so much fun!

We also wanted to thank a couple of bloggers who asked us how the Twister Tournament went the other day.  We were so surprised to see comments the other day and it really brightened our day.

Here is a picture from the Tournament, I hope Sarge doesn't mind.  You can see the entire Twister Tournament on Sarge's blog. 

(In the photo Benji's foot is on blue and mine is on green.)


After the Twister Tournment, when Mommy got home, we wore Mommy's Crabby T-Shirt in honor of the Crabby Girls who are the Hermit Crabs who hosted the Tournament. 

Is the Crab trying to tickle my nose in the picture?

Have a pawsome day!

P.S. Tomorrow (Sunday) we will pick the winner of the rubber band bracelet that we are giving away.  We posted about it two weeks ago with the games we had for Benny the French Bulldog. We are also gonna include a surprise with the bracelet.   (So if you didn't enter our contest, make sure to write us a "bracelet" comment on our post from two weeks ago when we had all those games for Benny the French Bulldog.)
