It’s Complicated

Mave and Gordo have a complicated relationship that usually involves Mave pressuring Gordo to give up his produce items during meal times. Gordo has figured out how to barter with Mave by giving her a piece of an item to appease her and she usually will go away for a time after receiving tribute. However, the more positive side of their relationship is harder to get a glimpse of and usually when we do see it it is very short lived. Well today was our lucky day and we were able to capture a fairly long play session between these two, with Dora supervising or course!

    Good to see Gordito having some fun and to know he has friends!
    I didn’t know Mave was bigger than he!

    I actually thought those pant hoots was from Willy B, but….Honey B?

    Thank you, that was a lot of loud chimpy laughter!

    I never figured that Mave was the type to demand tribute! I guess Gordo knows to keep the peace. Mave also looks so much like her half-brother Terry in this video, wow. I also appreciate sweet Dora trying to groom Gordo’s butt while he’s playing.
    Of course, Cy and Honey B can’t go for too long without their share of the attention. 😉

    Wait. What?! Mave pressures Gordo to give up his produce items during meal times? And she gets away with these bullying tactics? Floofy, sweet Mave? That Mave? I am so surprised to hear this. Thank goodness you followed up this news with the video of Mave being the joyful, silly gal I imagined her to be. 😉

    Gordo’s backwards leg extension tickle maneuver was irresistible.

    So good to see Gordo playing. He seems to come across in the blog as a loner. Well, except when he’s bunny hopping ? Fun to watch all his personality sides come out.

    Foxie would be jealous to see this video!

      Exactly what I was thinking!
