    Good to see some squish on that belly! Thanks JB!
    I half expected to hear a little giggle à la Pillsbury doughboy, out of him!
    These two have been playing a lot lately, both on and off the hill. Though he doesn’t have her speed (who does!?), his energy level is as high as hers.
    May they enjoy many more sessions!

    The way chimps play! I’m gonna bop you on the head. Let me chew on your foot. I’m going to grab you by this leg while I grab that arm.
    Burrito had a slick gymnastic move and a ” Hey, isn’t this the cutest tushy you’ve ever seen”?
    Can’t blame Missy for wanting to poke that belly!

    Belly poke was best part!

    Like Dr. Who, Burrito may have had a screwdriver at his disposal, but Dr. Missy had recourse to her Pillsbury Doughboy manuever. How could she resist?

    Personally, if I could get close enough to Burrito to play tickle-poke, I wouldn’t be able to resist poking Burrito in his little belly. And I wouldn’t be able to resist tickling Missy’s little feet.

    Those two make a pretty cute duo.

    No sock this time…..
    I find it interesting to notice each couple have their own way of play… (Jamie and Foxie the doll grab in many varients, Mave wresling with anybody who wants to be squized, Missy and Burritto back-rubbing with Missy’s feet…).
    I love it.

      Yes, Marianne, I too wondered where Missy’s sock was! I still look back at that other video…it’s so funny. I wonder whether Burrito will go on a diet now he’s been reminded about his tummy? I think we know the answer to that!!

        I think they’ve worked hard to get that bey there!
