It's beginning to look a lot like a hippo...

I'm getting there!

 

I kinda think it looks like a cow in the above picture.

This looks more like a hippo, me thinks.  Or maybe a dog.

I'm oh so close to finishing this, but I truly don't feel like doing anymore tonight.  So I'm stopping.  Tomorrow I'll put in all the stuffing and sew him up.  Then we can decide if he's good enough to give as a gift!
