If you did not understand the Pan hibernatus reference, you are in for a treat. See J.B.’s introduction to this species of one here: Pan hibernatus

    Well, I was gonna say burrito is just the silliest sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. Then he beat the crap out of Santa! LOL:see_no_evil:

    For some reason, I was thinking about Rayne’s forehead earlier today, so I decided to look it up. Coconut oil does seem to be the number one (edible) go to for dry itchy skin, but sunflower oil also. And not olive oil, which I thought was surprising. Anyway… Maybe try sunflower oil to see if it may have longer lasting effects than the coconut oil.

    Burrito, you funny, playful boy, have you never heard “he sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’ve been bad or good so. . .” don’t beat up Santa.

    I would be putting some non-edible intensive hemp almond oil on that until she wakes up, then go back to the edible stuff!

    I do have to say, Diana, I was more than a bit disappointed that this sighting and capture of pan hibernatus was not accompanied by voiceover from WA’s answer to David Attenborough. :pensive:

    I want to know what they are made out of that they’re not worried he’ll bust it open and chew it into pieces. Or someone else, we’re not going to name names or point fingers here….. Are they made out of memory foam?

    Is there a way to bottle Burrito’s Happy Juice? He is truly amazing. And Negra! This year her spring fever got the best by of her, just enough yearning for her to make a brief exploration of her favorite section of the hill. Since the Spring Equinox is Thursday, I’d say her inner clock is ticking along pretty darn accurately for a gal of her age. Then we have dear Rayne. She brings her special box to relax in during her exam. Never a dull moment at the sanctuary!

    Bubba is just delightful! Even if the camera person ends up with a mouthful of water spit on them!
    Glad to see Neggie finally emerging from her winter hibernation. Looks to me like she was on the hunt for some of that first spring grass, but alas…
    Also Raynie is so cute in her box! What is it with Cy’s gang and boxes? A lot of them seem to be part cat!

    Thanks for that tip, Paulette!

    We’ve cleaned up many destroyed squishmallows. They seem to have similar material to other stuffed animals, but a lot more of it. Jamie’s group has never been seen putting any stuffed animal stuffing in their mouths (unlike Gordo who was seemed to want to eat it like cotton candy when we tried a stuffed animal in that group!

    What can I say, J.B. and I have different skill sets. Perhaps he will be inspired later this spring if Negra goes further.

    It’s true – boxes are very popular among the California crowd. :person_shrugging:?

    If we came up with a way to bottle and share Burrito’s happiness, we definitely would!
