Everybody Loves Dora

Humans and chimps all really do love Dora, who wouldn’t! As I walked by the front rooms I found Rayne and Dora playing. Eventually, Lucky wanted to join the fun. Dora may be teeny tiny, but she can hold her own if she needs to! Dora may be small, but she sure is mighty!

After the play session Lucky needed to rest.

Cy guy <3. I think Cy has stolen everyone’s heart in this chimp house. I truly have never met a chimp sweeter than Cy.

Missy spying on the neighbors, while wearing a stylish grape sock.

Burrito being his perfect self!

And Jamie! She built this incredibly cozy, comfy, HUGE nest and then tucked herself in.

    Missy really seems to prefer the left foot for socks, doesn’t she, Diana?!

    I absolutely loved this blog and video! The affection between Dora and Rayne was obvious. I loved Dora with her arm around Rayne. just casual, like this is my besttie. When Lucky Sauntered over I had a good chuckle with her attire. Then I was a little stressed with all the tugging and pulling on it with visions in my head of a wrestling match starting and then somebody was going to get all tangled up in that thing and choke themselves. yikes ! & Terry in the background being his funny little self. Made my heart happy to hear that Cy really is the sweetest. I knew it. i’m hoping he will be the bridge that pulls together a group of nine. I hope he is always in the room when needed. Missy in a sock. My true love valentine burrito all decked out, and Jamie snug as a bug. what a joyful blog today! Thank you. Hand over heart happy

    Watched this last evening but had to view it again this morning becuase it is so wonderful. Dora is a petite girl and really looks small next to Lucky! Is Dora smaller than Foxie? I love the way Rayne keeps looking at you when she’s wrestling with Dora. Lucky sort of steals the show with her accessory/wardrobe choice!! Her repurposing the colorful blanket into a sarong-apron killed me. I also loved Dora’s arm aorund Rayne when they were sitting side by side.

    Speaking of accessories/wardrobe choices, it is hard to beat Missy’s one-sock-only stylin’. And look at Mr. Burrito and his hip bandana! But the petit de la resistance just might be Jamie sung as a bug in her cozy cocoon nest. Oh how I adore them all.

      That was supposed to read as “pièce de résistance”. Dang auto correct! 😉
