Me, Myself, and I (Willy B version)

April 25, 2025 by Jenna

A few days ago, Dora, Honey B, and Mave had no desire to shift into the Mezzanine. However, Willy B did shift, no problem. We then had to make an alternative route for the girls so that we could clean the space they were in (the front rooms). This meant that Willy B got alone time for an hour. And man, did he take advantage of it!

I was cleaning the front rooms, which is located directly beneath the Mezzanine. I could hear what sounded like 10 chimpanzees playing, but I knew it was just Willy B up there. I knew I had to get the camera footage for this one. Enjoy!

    Sigh…it seems Beezus has led Mora down the path of filth and obstinance….
    Just when I was thinking, “That’s a lot of play energy with just a box! That’s slimky level energy!” He picked up the slinky!:joy:
    Glad he enjoyed himself.
    I imagine with the Californians split into 2 groups, the refusal to shift complicates things substantially.
    Thanks, Jenna!

    Aww, maybe that’s what Willy B needs, some time away from the pressure of social interactions, to decompress. I can relate!

    Sending you a big hug from afar for sharing this! Simply fantastic! My first thought was, here’s Willy B, alone with the entire place all to himself and yet, he chooses to snug his big ol’ self into the tiny cubby! My second thought was, Willy B has clearly been watching Burrito videos because Willy B had all of Bubba’s moves! The classic bounce. Goofy box on head. Silliness galore!

    I was so excited to see Willy busting a move with his Slinky again!! I used to love his “slinky on foot while wildly kicking said foot backwards” maneuver. Nobody rocks a slinky like Willy B.

    He was having so much all by himself, you may have to offer the upstairs to him once or twice a week just so he can let it rip. It’s good to be away from the girls once in a while. Mostly, I’m just so happy to see Willy B happy.
