First-Aid lesson

The thing about Minty is that he falls asleep easily, sometimes in mid-sentence,  and the thing about Smoothie is he shrieks when he gets a fright.

Minty       : So, Smoothie – any choklit in this house?
Smoothie : What is choklit?
Minty       :    You don’t know choklit?
Smoothie : Uh – no.
Minty       : (silly grin eyes crossed face) It’s…gooey, and it’s….yummy….and…..SNRGH…… SNRGH…..SNRGH (falls flat on back. Well, as flat as a round hoggie can fall)
Smoothie : (shrieks at the top of his voice) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! He’s DEAD! He’s DEAD! (Rushes over and sits on Minty).
Minty      : (mutters sleepily) Mnot dead, don’t sit on me.
Smoothie : (shrieks again and jumps a foot in the air)
Minty      : (awake and irritable) Wait, you thought I was dead so you SAT ON ME?!
Smoothie : (nods seriously)
Minty      : IS THAT YOUR IDEA OF FIRST AID?
Smoothie : (nods seriously)

Conclusion : If they’re dead, sit on them.
Mangos’ footnote : Does not apply to Hobbes. Oh, wait, you haven’t met Hobbes….

Meet the hoggies!

These are The Originals!

They're lined up from left in the order they joined the family. Prickles is from England. All his brothers are from New Zealand. Smoothie tries to live up to his name (most of the time!) and keep the peace. Minty sleeps a lot. Snowy is the biggest hoggy, and his brothers tease him by calling him Banananose. Moony - well, he's proud of his bottom and stands on his head a lot. And then there's Strange Cousin Bloo. Yes...Mango completes the lineup.

This is the place to keep up with their adventures, their arguments and the philosophy underlying the Hoggieverse. Enjoy!
