Catching Up With the Nine

by Sabrina

With all the snow and sleet as well as Honey B recovering, the group of nine haven’t been able to get out on the Bray. Today all that changed, after breakfast and some relaxation while caregivers cleaned, the group got outside at lunch time to enjoy the sunshine we’re having right now! Enjoy today’s video of the nine going back out on the Bray!

    Your snow sure melts fast and early in the season. I grew up in upstate NY, near Vermont and our snow as never gone until well into April.

    Big Willy B touching grass! So good to see! Who was cheering him on from inside, Foxie or Annie? (Missy was out on the hill, it looks like).

    Is Honey B on recommended extra sleep so she’ll leave the eye alone? Hoping it’s coming along!

    It gladdened my heart to see Willy B followed by Rayne almost sliding down the ramp eager for some outdoor fun (not that the snow dampened their exuberance over the past weeks). Mind you they had their priorities in order with a healthy breakfast before the jollifications. I guess the other group will be savouring the sunshine and having a ball also.
    Thanks for sharing.

        Ha ha,Willy B couldn’t get down that ramp quick enough and so gracefully executeded sideways. Speedy Gonzalez.

    Willy B first out! Of course with his gal pal, Rayne! Ya gotta love a sunny day. (We had sun today, too. Perhaps the first full sunny day since Christmas Day.) Yay for exploring outside on the Bray!

    I think Willy B wants to study dentistry, he so enjoys checking out his teeth in the reflection of your phones. Maybe you need to find a book on teeth for him to read.

      we also got sun today for the first time in weeks, Kathleen. Rare for us to go so long without it, here on the coast. Wonderful.

      I think Willy B is like the muscle heads at the gym. He likes to check himself out in the mirror, just wants to confirm that he still looks fine for the ladies :laughing:

    Love those smoothies, Dora! So cute! Chad must be breathing a sigh of relief that he doesn’t have to keep 15 intelligent chimps entertained 24/7, and he can have a bit of a rest while they go out and get some fresh air.
