Pokey Joe Burrito

April 18, 2025 by Krissy Brasfield

Let me start by acknowledging that Pokey Joe generally means that someone is moving slowly.  And we know that one would almost never describe our beloved Burrito in that way.  Slow?  Please!

When I call Burrito Pokey Joe, it’s because he’s being especially pokey, as in poking me, poking food that’s being served, or poking my phone/camera.  I recently got some video footage of Burrito in an especially pokey mood.  And to top it off, I got some fun footage of Burrito and his good friend Foxie, playing and laughing their heads off!

I’ve titled this blog “Pokey Joe Burrito”, but it could also be called “That Time My Phone Ended Up In the Drain”!

Enjoy!

    This guy is sure quick on the draw and you must wonder what goes through Burrito’s mind as he engages in these antics- in this case a good dose of Poke!. Fun and frolics with Foxie and just to round things off, Krissy, your phone goes flying .I hope you could still use it afterwards :sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart:

    While playing with Foxie, I’m surprised Burrito didn’t hyperventilate he was laughing so hard, nonstop, for so long! What a character! Clearly your silly friend didn’t want you to feel left out of the fun so he lovingly included you the game. 😉 Sorry about your phone. The paparazzi can really take a beating.
