Identifying Dora

October 12, 2023 by Anna

Today is part 3 of my blogs about identifying the Lucky 6. Be sure to check out Identifying Cy and Gordo if you missed parts 1 and 2. It’s time to highlight Dora. She is the smallest member of her group, has a brown-ish freckly complexion with large protruding eyes and long lashes. She also has a straight back, is missing half a finger on her left hand and makes a distinct bobble head movement when she’s happy. After you watch the above video, what features might you use to identify Dora?

    It’s the eyes, the brown color, the tiny size, the grey spot on the back.

    And the fact that she’s often carrying her own personal Mave around

      Linda, your comment made me laugh. I don’t imagine Dora ever has much “alone” time.

        But I think she likes things this way :upside_down:

    Dora’s face and freckles always stand out for me. I wasn’t aware of her straight back so thanks for pointing that out! I can always spot Jamie on the hill by her straight back but since I rarely have the opportunity to see Dora walking a distance, I never noticed this feature. It is so apparent in your video when she’s searching for her favorite foods while cruising around her birthday table, it made me chuckle.

    Dora is ridiculously cute.

    I can always tell Dora by her eyes and her freckles.

    With Dora, the eyes have it. Her ears are also uniquely shaped. And if that doesn’t identify her, Dora’s play face when Honey B or Maeve get her into a tickling or wrestling game speaks volumes.

      Tobin, I can’t believe “excellent dancer” wasn’t top of your list.

    It’s always Dora’s eyes for me and I agree that she is adorable.

    What I noticed is that next time Dora would like you to peel the potatoes
    thank-you-very- much!!
