A Meeting of the Girls Club

July 5, 2024 by Ellen Brady-McGaughey

I was lucky enough to stumble upon a meeting of the Girls Club last week, aka Mora B, aka Mave, Dora, and Honey B. I was walking around the sanctuary to give out some juice before heading to lunch myself when I found these 3 ladies lounging in the shade in the chute. Dora initiated play with me, so I sat down to enjoy the moment. She tapped the back of my hand with her (super cute) toes, let me knuckle rub her arm and back, and then I took my phone out so she could look at herself in my camera. While she was admiring herself, Honey B realized the camera was out and joined the party, which turned into playing with Dora while occasionally still watching themselves on the phone. I hope you enjoy watching all of this play out in today’s video, and be sure to stay until the end for a special guest appearance at Girls Club.

    Ellen, I always find it so funny that everyone (except Foxie :joy:) wants to check out their teeth!
    Same game my cat would play with my feet or hands under a blanket “whose toes are those?!”

    I did love Dora’s dental inspection and Honey B’s censoring of the entire meeting with the sheet. Nice to see Terry is an honourary member, he’s adorable ?

      When I try to put a smiley emoji it puts a question mark, there’s no question about Terry’s (or any of the ladies, adorability (if that’s a word). Love them all

    Glad to see Beans and the Girl Gang hanging out! Dora is so adorable checking out her teeth on camera. I got a good laugh when HB held up the sheet for some privacy. Of course, Mave is just chilling! Loved the guest appearance by Terry at the end, too!

      Maybe she was trying to include Ellen by throwing the sheet over her?

    The girls club is such a delight to see! What a wonderful friendship those three knuckleheads have. Mave is always such a quiet and cool cucumber. She is usually spotted close by lounging around like the Queen of Sheba while the other two tussle about. If I had a private club, I would surely make teeny tiny Terry and honorary member.

    Speaking of honorary membership, thank you for letting me join this Secret Society if only for a few minutes.

    PRIMATES HAVE, SUCH, INTELLIGENT, FACES WITH EXPRESSION, CHARACTER, AND, DEEP, THOUGHTS.
