What a beautiful Christmas gift from all angles… or maybe from all angels 🙂 Thank you Diana.. and a huge thank you to Gordo. Getting comfortable is not easy, what strides you’ve made!
I wasn’t around when the Cle Elum seven arrived, but I’ve seen many the videos, photos and commentary. And I saw the difference in them after just a few months and then a few years. I realize the lucky six arrived in a completely different physical and mental state than the Cle Elum seven. But I suspect a year from now, and a few years from now, we will look back and say “oh my how they’ve changed.” This time I get to witness. I love getting to know them as you continue to show them to us. I’m so glad I’m here. I’m so excited for their future, and mine with them in it.
We are so glad you are here too, Paulette!
I like Gordo’s water-spritz to initiate the game of the chase. But my favorite move was his satisfied clap after he ran to the corner of the greenhouse, tagged the mesh, and turned around. Gordo seems like quite the loveable character.
What a thrill to have Gordo invite you to play with him! Thanks for catching his silly side and sharing with us.
You’re winning Gordo over !
I think it means more when it doesn’t come easy, good things take time.
I can relate to it somewhat, when I win over a feral cat, or a puppymill dog, I know its different, but the thrill I get when they finally trust me after all they have been through, makes my heart sing too. :revolving_hearts:
Gordo is pretty laid back, more of a relaxed hide and go seek kinda guy! Who is blowing raspberries in the background…Terry?
they sound like razzTerries to me, too!
Very clever! i love razzTerries!
What’s not to love!? 🙂
Yes, you are correct that those loud raspberries are from Terry!
The first of what I hope will be many gifts of the season, Diana: Gordo warming up to you! A gift you’ll never have to return or replace! what a handsome, happy dude!
It’s all the gift I need!
Diana, did they seem to pick up more quickly than the 3 how the faucets work?
This video was a joy to watch. he was having a fun time and liked your undevided attention. Thank you for playingnwith him.
Well Diana, I do hope that chase did not tire you out…all that very slow jogging you two did…
He is a sweet goofball that Gordo and certainly has a sense of humor. I think I saw a smile on his face when he looked down on you.
