Dora the Distractor

Share with your friends!

Yesterday, Mave and Gordo were having a very sweet grooming session, but as Mave’s BFF, Dora was obviously not far. I found myself having a hard time capturing the moment between Mave and Gordo because a delightful little chimp (Dora) with sweet, big eyes kept distracting me and causing me to put the camera back to her, but I mean, can you blame me? If you were not already in love with Dora, I think this video will help.

We would like to give a very special thank you to Marjorie C. for purchasing Naomi the Narwhal Squishmallow for the chimps!

Oh! Before you go, a few bonus photos!

Sweet, sweet Terry:

    Do I see little wood wool curls on Mave and Gordo? What a nice quiet grooming duo. Dora is so cute. Really, she just is. Mora seemed happy to be together again. Better together!

    Thank you Marjorie for winning the Narwhal. Burrito will love that!!

    I think that (1:27) is thebiggest smile I’ve ever seen on Li’l Dora’s face! She just loves you, Kelsi! The head waggle at lunch, now this big smile!

          I was wondering if that means that Honney B. and Cy are also related to Tatu?????

          Hi Paulette! Since you found beautiful Tatu, be sure to look for adorably lovable Loulis. He’s at Fauna too.

    I love squishmallows myself, so I hope Burrito loves this one as much as I love mine. Even if he loves it more robustly and temporarily. 😀
