Gordo: Awkward Social Butterfly

November 16, 2024 by Krissy Brasfield

We don’t often see Gordo playing with his friends.  Gordo is a bit of a loner.  He often spends time near his friends, but not in a pile-o-chimps like we see with many of the others.

Today, we got to see Gordo’s playful side, and we simply had to share with you!

Do you have your eye on anything special in the Comfort & Joy auction?  Do tell!  I am bidding on many of the ornaments.  Don’t outbid me! 😉

    I wonder if Willy B’s separation makes Gordo more comfortable to play with the others? On that subject, has anyone else been introduced into the new group yet?

    Aw, does my heart good to see he sometimes has some friends!

    So Gordo likes a Honey Bun now and then!? 🙂 Nobody doesn’t like Little Debbie!

    Look at handsome silverback Gordo letting out his silly side—footsie, play face and all. Popular Honey B has a way of making everyone feel playful.

    I enjoyed watching Terry scratching himself. 😉

    It’s so sweet to see Gordito feeling a bit silly with friends. That Honey B certainly is a hot commodity! Who wouldn’t want to hang out with such a cool lady?!
