Hippo joined Erhardt and me as a fluffy, short-legged Jack Russell – our first in the family.

Everyone asked what he was crossed with – well, he was just Hippo. Not crossed with anything!!! We even found a “breed” close to what he looked like, so he was officially a Silky Jack Russell.

Hippo was my shadow – walked from Greyton to Mc Gregor, Wolfberg, Betties Bay, Hangklip, Table Mountain, Simonsberg, Klapmutskop, train rides and just everywhere.

Hippo also became the Delheim restaurant mascot. He did not miss lunch where he was very much able to figure out who had ordered lamb shanks.

He was just Hippopotamoos, Hipopo, Mr Piggly, Mr Hippo Potamoos, and Pottamoos.

We all miss you – the lunch-time begging, the shadow who followed us everywhere, just dedicated, always there to be part of what was happening.

Erhard, Nora, Karl, Rudi, Sadi, Dixie and Vuvu.
