Join Honey B and Dora for a Play Date!

March 10, 2024 by Grace

Honey B has been back with her group for over a week now! She is so happy to be back with her friends and the humans are so happy to have a bit of a routine back. šŸ™‚

Last week, I posted a video from Honey B and Lucky’s play date. Since Honey B had been out of the group for a while, we opted to do a slow re-introduction process to ensure she had some time with individuals instead of going back into the group all at once. It also allowed the humans a little bit more control over the situation, in that we would have a better chance of separating the two of them if her partner for the play date started grooming her eye too much.

Dora was another great play date that she had and I was lucky enough to catch some footage to share with all of you! Watching it back this afternoon made me chuckle just as much as I was when I was watching them, so I hope it brings some cheer to your day too.

Also- how many headstands can Honey B fit into one play session?! Check out the video to find out. šŸ™‚

    If Dora came knocking on my door for a play date I would do headstands too! Those two are so cute together. Talk about having fun. But I’m not so sure poor Mave was having fun looking in. And is it me or was she all gussied up with a banana around her neck, ready to impress her old friend Honey B?!

    Love Willy B, he looks dashing.

    is there a technical name for when they are panting? I’m assuming it’s a sign of happiness and excitement and communicating that. Pigs do ittoo and it’s called “hot pants.” I find it interesting that two completely different species (both super smart) are still able to get their points across in a very cute and similar way.

      It’s called laughing!
      (and sometimes “breathy pants”)

    Oh my goodness, they are just so silly! Honey B with her headstands and Dora with the sheet! I just have to laugh at them rolling around like a bunch of kids!
