Honey B’s Toy Inspection

December 29, 2020 by Kelsi

Although Honey B is relative newcomer to the sanctuary, it’s hard to imagine life without her. Her spontaneity is so fun to watch and her wild spirit is infectious! I think all of us caregivers can agree she makes us do the silliest things we may not have never thought we would do. Honey B’s creativity is the most amazing part about her. You really can never guess what she will do next. Because of her creative mind and her spontaneity options are limitless!

Last week, we decided to give her an early Christmas present. There were so many amazing gifts that would be given out all at once and we didn’t want Honey B to overlook it in all the commotion. However, Honey B of course notices everything! This present was specifically picked out for her. She seems to love scooting around on her scooter and enjoys spinning around on the big mirror in the Mezzanine. So it only made sense that we try out one of the spin wheels! Honey B decided before she would give it a go, she had to make sure the toy was sturdy. I mean, I think we all understand that logic. No one is going to walk out on ice if they think they will fall through or lay on a hammock without feeling steady before you lay down! Honey B also, as you will see, decided it needed a wash and she was right. We had not washed it yet! To know Honey B is truly a wild ride and an honor.

Negra briefly went out this morning for a snow snack!

    Honey B is absolutely delightful! Funny and smart, I think I’ve finally decided on a favorite. Along with the other 9, of course.

    I saw this earlier on YT, Kelsi.
    Was she trying to tell you something, or just expressing her excitement?
    Can’t wait for some video of her giving the new toy a spin. Wait-stop-reverse that.

    Honey B is so funny, you could see her wheels spinning when she sat next to her soap suds. Now that the new spinning wheel is scrubbed cleaned I have a funny feeling you are going to see some wild moves. What a great gift!

    I think Honey B would not have bothered to lavish such attention on a thing she wasn’t really interested in. She just cracks me up – I still laugh at the memory of her rolling chairs and other toys down the chute into the courtyard. I hope you’ll be able to post some video of how much fun she has with her spinner toy.

    I also would like to say I received your beautiful Christmas card, and it was perfect. I wouldn’t change anything about it. Thank you!

    As I watched the video I wondered what would happen if she got her leg caught in that wheel and wounded up helplessly upside down. Would you have had to anesthetize her to free her from the contraption. You are all so “on the ball” about any “what if’s” that I am sure you have/had a plan in place if it had happened.

      Honey B is the queen of firehose yoga! I’m sure she would use those abs to pull herself up and figure it out. Hope we never have to find out, though!
