“Mave” comes from an old Irish name Madb, meaning “the cause of great joy” or “she who intoxicates”. I mean, that is pretty spot on, am I right?

I LOVE her face so much!!!!
she has a GRRREAT face.
Perfect !….She has definitely intoxicated me 🙂
Oh Mave! You do bring me joy. I knew you were Irish as soon as I saw those freckles.
What an apt name for such a source of joy! What are the odds that not only would this sanctuary have fourteen of the most beautiful and endearing inhabitants found this side of County Kerry, but that many of them would be Irish in some capacity? (Not only that, but it appears that Annie made it through the summer without the need to send forth a snake alarm call; yet another benefit of treating the cattle to all-you-can eat buffets of grass within which the serpents would otherwise inhabit. I think that St. Padraig would approve…)
I just love Mave, she seems so beautiful inside and out! 🙂
What a beauty! She has a lovely personality as well!
Oh Mave You are so beautiful inside and out! 🙂
She is just so gorgeous!! Like the Mona Lisa of the Sanctuary!!! Love and hugs to you all…
A beautiful Lady!!
Lovely, but that bottom photo is saying “what is it with the hoomans at this place and that device that they’re always pointing at us?”
Something about the color of Mave’s face and her freckle placement reminds me of Andy Serkis’ Ceasar from the films.
Wise Mave, her eyes tell a tale of learned wisdom from struggles and pain…..a gal that can make lemonade out of life’s lemons.
Yes! She is great JOY! Also, such a good friend to all. She looks out for Willie and I am sure she try’s her best to keep Honey B reasonable in her adventures. She is also awesome in how she is trying to build relationships with all! LOVE HER.
Awhh, Mave, the PEACEKEEPER.We need her in this world.Love you Mave!???
What an adorable face she has. So sweet. Thanks for the update.
Mave was named Mave after her two long-term caregivers in the lab named Mike and Dave. I love that other meaning of her name as well.
