My Bride ooed and ahhed when she saw this and called it cute. She immediately said, "I wonder if they have other animals as well"... sort of in a hopeful tone that one might infer as a wish to buy. Great pik, Jane. We have a clear glass coffee table, but without the aquatic mammal.
I actually have a set of stepping"stones" for a garden path that is a 3 piece hippo. I love it too. I just like hippos, but from far far away.
Carolyn, I have those same the hippo stepping stones. Re the hippo coffee table, all I can say is "oh my".
If I said something like...."Hippo's of a feather step together", would I then be stepping on anyone's toes?
I installed a security screen door with a howling wolf/coyote on it. It took my dogs days to not freak out when they saw it.
