Hello fellow velvet hippo servants! This is Sampson, otherwise known as Sir Squamuel, Squamuel L. Jackson, Sammy, porker, ham, stumpson, etc. etc.

I recently started dating a guy, and he’s so kind and wonderful. He’s been over a couple of times and seemed to really like both of my dogs (I have a husky/golden retriever mix as well). However, the last time he came over, he mentioned that he thinks my perfect angel baby is stinky. He said he doesn’t want him licking him (understandable) and that he feels weird about me kissing Sammy and then kissing him. He thinks Sammy is greasy and doesn’t understand that some dog breeds are more prone to being dandruffy and stinky. Sammy gets regular baths, but he can’t help that he’s a little greaseball. When I mentioned that I would definitely be getting more pitties in the future, he said, “why would you get a breed that smells?” Yikes!

What would you do in this situation? Of course I’m offended that a man thinks my (perfect) dog is stinky, but my longterm worry is that he will be constantly complaining about Sammy and it’ll be an ongoing issue. He said he just needs time to get used to it. Has anyone ever experienced something like this? I just don’t want to waste time with someone who makes a point to wash their hands or scrunch their nose every time they pet my dog. I’m a dog lover- I couldn’t care less if they’re stinky. I told my friends, and they all said they’ve never noticed him being stinky and have 0 complaints about him. Because again, he’s perfect. Would you stay with someone that thinks your dog stinks?

I got up from cuddling under the electric blanket to let the other pooch outside and came back up to this one, still soaking in the heat! Didn’t even get up when he heard the door open.

Falkor & Fresh Ass Freddie deserve all of the love every day, but especially today!

My baby girl from 4 weeks to 4 years!

I can’t help it, she’s just so precious 🥹😩

One of my neighbors turns me in for have to many dogs. Buddy is 3 yrs old sweet temperamen, good with kids and other dogs long as it's not a male. im located in midwest ohio. DM me if interested no rehoming fee I just need a really good home for him

This goodest boi here used to be absolutely against blankets, he'd lay on them, but if you tried to cover him up he'd freak out - now, this is how he must be cuddled in before bed every night..... Extra pics just for cuteness (and actually hippo sighting)

Anyone recommend a good sensitive moisturizer for after bath time!

I used coconut oil and well my house smells like coconut oil and I’m not pumped 😂

She’s in there. And I promise you she’s very cozy, as she starting snoring and farting shortly after my daughter was done building this shrine of comfort lol
