Negra can Play!

May 20, 2020 by Kelsi

If you follow the blog regularly, you will know Negra’s favorite hobbies are making nests and napping. Now some of you are nodding your heads and you’re thinking same Negra, same. What you might not know about Negra is that when she does decide to play, Negra is known to play rough! That may shock some of you, but she doesn’t go easy on anyone. For the past couple of weeks right before the seven are about to go back into their freshly clean Playroom Negra gets downright silly. As you will see in the video she has a very loose lower lip, meaning she is relaxed and you can hear her breathy panting, which is like a laugh. It could be that she is excited for the lettuce forage in the Playroom, maybe it’s the spring weather, and it could be a little bit of everything. We will never know for sure, but man watching Neggie play is the best!

I am sorry to say I only have videos of Neggie and no photos. So, I hope you all are okay with some pictures of Burrito!

    Love how playful Negra is, but I actually had to reread the post because I said to myself I think they made mistake with who’s who. To my surprise in fact you did mean Negra. Love to hear her laughter and being so playful.

    lol, Kelsi, like you need to even ask this crowd if they want to see more pics of the OG Mr B! 😀
    Man, Burrito, Jody, Foxie, and was that Missy at the end? Easier to count wbo did NOT play with Neggie today!
    She does seem to have trouble knowing when to stop, but as long as they can get out of arm’s reach of her, they’re okay. Loooove seeing that belly shake with laughter!

    :41, when the sound of (?) a broom coincides with Neggie thumping Burrito on his head!

    Negra comes to life in Spring! Delightful seeing Burrito and Neggie having so much fun. Silliness for all!

    …”shock some of us”…You don’t say, Kelsi…HaHaHa…It’s like hearing your beloved grammies, who epitomized sweet, gentle & wholesome in their pearls & white church gloves, used to pinch babies & play poker on the weekends…HaHaHa…

    Anyway Neggie…At my age, If I play wrestled with a friend, I’d be “breathy
    panting”, too…AND not easily able to get up off the floor without help… : )

    BTW…In my opinion, there could never be such a thing as “too many photos” of beloved, goofy Bubba…All I have to do is get a “g l a n c e” of him, & it instantly makes me smile from ear-to-ear…
