I only like hippopotamuses, and hippopotamuses like me too~

....Is that a caterpillar?

Telus's advertisements can be spotted a mile away.  Usually it features an adorable baby animal on a plain white background.  A while back, they ran a hippopotamus ad with a super catchy song -- "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".  I think there was also a lot of controversy afterwards for how the animal was treated.  At any rate, I'm reminded of that commercial every time I see a hippopotamus.

I want to play in a mud hole... 

This is another of Tamie Snow's patterns.  (See this for more information.)  I modified her feet pattern to make smaller arms.
