Joining in on the fun

March 28, 2012 by Jackie

Burrito is a pretty shy guy and he’s usually very nervous about new things, which is why we were so happy (and surprised!) that he decided to venture out onto Young’s Hill the first day we opened it. Since then however, he hasn’t spent a great deal of time out there.

But with the weather getting nice, he’s been going out more and more. Today he was the first one out when I opened the door in the raceway and he spent a good 30-40 minutes out there. It’s so good to see him getting more comfortable.

    Good for Mr. B. 🙂 He looks a bit unsure, but I’m sure he’ll be more confident in no time.

    Just got an email from Jackie letting me know you guys got my package of pillows. Thanks for letting me know. Hope the seven are enjoying them . 🙂

    He is so adorable!! I was wondering what they think about water…as in some sort of a water feature to play in? Maybe this summer you could fill up their kiddy pool out there and see if they would splash around in it. I wonder what they would do around a real pond…hey let’s have a fundraiser to dig a pond for them!! 🙂

    That is a sweet photo of Burrito peeking out from behind the rock.

    Does he have a special gal he’s drawn more to that the others? I know they’re all older than him, but who’s the one who Burrito seems to feel the most comfortable around?
