In Neggie We Trust

April 25, 2024 by Jenna

Negra seems to enjoy interacting with her caregivers, but on her own schedule. She stays pretty busy living her “Neggie-lifestyle” so she isn’t often front and center giving caregivers tons of opportunities to interact with her up-close, outside of mealtimes. A few days ago, I saw Negra was in Burrito’s infamous spot in the Playroom – posted up on the blue barrel looking out the window to watch Cy’s group (the noisy neighbors). I always have great interactions with Burrito at that window, so I thought I’d see if Neggie would interact with me from there too. Spoiler alert: she was so sweet to me and gave lots of kisses through the glass. It made my whole week! Check out the interaction in today’s video!

    Oh my gosh, that first smush face!! Sigh. I think my heart skipped a beat. You are so right, Negra is so sweet. And my girl’s got rhythm! Loved the way she nodded to the beat of your knocking. If Negra weren’t so busy checking out Terry, she might have asked you to dance for her. I love Nagra.

    Oh my heart. Neggie making the sweetest smush faces, nodding and let us not forget, watching the handsome Terry. She is the Queen ???

    That was so sweet. Loved the first smoosh face. I worry about her quite a bit, though this made me feel
    so happy for her and about her.

      I like that she’s up and about, in search of sweet grass and taking an interest in that new soap opera that’s all the rage, The Neighbors.

    What a beautiful girl. Sweetness radiates from her.
