See, the hippies have that green leafy stuff growing on them, so I thought they were the same.

No. You have to water a chia pet. Hippies are alergic to water, and the reactions are twice as severe if soap is near the water.

Is a hippie pet the same as a chia pet?

Yes, hint hint indeed. I gave you two a nice gift of future content material that has a lot of mileage.

Hint, hint.

I can’t wait to read about which hippie Les picked and how Fiar is doing with his new pet.

No need to even feed a hippie. They are in abundance so if your pet hippie dies you can just get a new one.

Even with the retirement of the first generation of moonbats soon I have a feeling there will always be hippies ready to be domesticated.

Don’t worry about feeding your pet hippie. Since they’re all about eating organic, I’m sure you could just feed them a turd, and they’ll be okay with it.
