Willy’s Got the Sillies!

September 24, 2025 by Kelsi

Willy is known to be aloof, but he tends to be a goof when he gets the inkling. It is well documented that when Willy B gets the sillies it involves a box, foot stomping, or a slinky! The goofs can not be had without one of these items! Of course, once the sillies begin, they have to get out, otherwise they will get trapped in the Willy’s and well we can’t be having that…

    Watching Willy eat the lettuce, and, listening to the crunch makes me hungry! It is a pleasure to get a, close up, look, and seeimg him enjoy his food!

    Sanctuary sounds are not natural. . . slinky a bit like branches whipping together in winfd. Have you ever played natural forest music for tnem?

    Thank you, Kelsi, for adding another episode to the Silly Willy series! I am thrilled to see he still loves a little action with his colorful slinky. I remember how hard I laughed the first time I saw him kicking that slinky back-and-forth. Willy B is always so creative with it. It just slays me. And nobody, I mean nobody can crunch and chomp down a head of lettuce like Willy B! Joy!!

    I’ve missed seeing Willy, thanks for shining a light on one of the many things that makes him so lovable

      Yes, the hang upside down like a bat slinky swing!
      I still think he might like to see some video of people doing tricks with them

    Classic Willy! Slinky? Check. Bugs Bunny-style eating? Check. Stopping to admire himself in the camera? Also check! Willy is a hoot!
