Of all the Cle Elum Seven, Jody and Negra are probably the least playful. Both are more solitary as compared to the others, and seem to prefer to spend much of their time either grooming or nesting. Negra has become more and more playful lately, but her typical play partners are either her caregivers, or Missy or Foxie, who are both super playful, so, you can imagine my surprise (and delight) when I looked outside and saw the following scene.

I am grinning from ear to ear but all teary too. Neggie initiating play with Jody! Just wonderful!
lol neggy wanted that pretty pink anklet ! and when she was pulling at her lip Jody looked at the camera as if to say whats she doing x
Let’s see this is day 4 or 5 for Jody’s pink anklet? That bottom lip of Jody’s is the BEST for pouring smoothie in……. and she can hold atleast a cup in.

Hopefully with the additon of Young’s Hill, we will see behavior like this continue and grow!
Absolutely precious!
What a couple of sweet beauties enjoying each other’s company! 🙂
