I’ve gotten used to the fact that Burrito now goes on more walks (or runs, actually) than Jamie, but I still can’t get over how comfortable he’s become in inclement weather. Earlier this week we had snow off and on throughout the morning, and when Burrito told me to meet him outside for a run around the hill I was sure he would be disappointed when he got out there. But he was undeterred.
When you’re not moving fast enough, Burrito will stand bipedally and clap to goad you on.
Eventually we just sat near the top of the hill, watching the snow drift down across the valley as it slowly accumulated atop the hair on his head and shoulders.
We took several walks in the mist this morning, along with Missy and Jamie. But when the mist turned to a light, steady rain I was sure they would all want to curl up in a nest indoors. Not Burrito. We hiked back up the hill together in the rain, and every once and a while he would turn backward as though he was ready to head home, only turn turn again and race further up the hill.
He thought it was hilarious.
Burrito always makes me smile! I know just how much fun it is to run around in drizzle-y weather. And as for snowflakes… what an adventure! Hopefully, he won’t catch a cold.
Am I correct that his group was in a northern location for a lengthy period of time…?
If so, were they/he allowed outside as now..?
You are correct – they were at a lab in Pennsylvania. However, they were held in cages in a windowless basement so he never knew the outdoors as an adult.
Well, thank goodness they are living the good life now at your wonderful sanctuary. Blessings to you all.
Even though I haven’t been following since day 1 of sanctuary, I’ve still seen Bubba grow, and I love this! Glad he had company who could appreciate his humor! Thanks, JB
I love this post and those pictures. It’s wonderful how Burrito finds enjoyment in any weather and someone to enjoy it with! Thank you. I hope Mave is doing well!!!
JB did you sort of hear a “Psych!!” and a little snicker every time he made you think he was going back in?
Oh, JB, you and Bubba made my day! Thanks for these pics and wonderful description of the adventures. I can just see him taking it all in and on while sitting, frolicking, running and pondering his “estate.” What guys you are together! Gratitidue galore for both of you and all the beings at the sanctuary!
You have to afmit, it’s pretty funny. And I can say that because I’m not the one standing outside in the stormy weather with him.
Your blog posts never disappoint! Thank you for the delightful read and sweet photos of our favorite fellow who appears to be aging in reverse.
“He thought it was hilarious.” Mission accomplished, Mr. B.
What a joy to see snow …… he must have been intrigued by the flurries ….I’m SURPRISED he didn’t stick out his tongue :grin:…..and a little rain never hurt anyone …. maybe it’s just a means of freshening up for the girls:hugging:
I love this dude’s style of silliness so much!
just love Burrito. so much positive energy.
thank you J.B.
I love his clapping to get you humans to hurry along and put some pep in your step! Burrito would make an excellent gym instructor…..as always, so great to see him so happy!
I can see him standing there Edie, with his baseballcap, stopwatch and wistle…..Thát is also hilarious…?
Our beautiful boy! After an awful start to his life, he enjoys every second of his wonderful one now. What’s a little rain or snow, when you’ve got the freedom to choose and even better when you can challenge a caregiver to race. He has the most fabulous sense of fun and cheekiness, even if it’s at your expense JB!
