Meet Blippie 🐾
Or better known as ‘Blippie from Philippi’. A mix of Africanus and all things good, rescued from Elsie’s River and now living in Woodstock with Dad.
We spent some time asking the important questions.
• Describe Blippi’s ideal Saturday night.
A walk in the park with squeaky ball fetch until someone tires (it’s never him), a spot of art gallery sniffing followed by snacks and cuddles with Dad.
• Describe his social life. Life of the park, or lone wolf?
Life of the park. Decisively. An emotional intellectual who managed to befriend a German Shepherd known for getting along with no one. With Dad he remains a devoted lap dog even while driving. We don’t recommend it. He does it anyway.
• What’s the story behind the name?
Shelter-given, and later discovered to match a children’s TV character. And just like the character, he’s taught his own share of wise lessons — regular adventures outside being a prominent one.
• Any irrational fears?
The vacuum cleaner. Otherwise entirely fearless. He once jumped over a backyard wall just to see what was on the other side.
• Mountain Loop or Beach Loop?
Mountain Loop. Beach loops are saved for adventures through the Garden Route.
