Guille and Maia Enjoy a Drink

During a sunny afternoon, Maia and Guillermina were near the barn, after foot trimming, and we decided to give them the option for a bath and a nice, cool drink from the hose. Though we do have water troughs throughout the sanctuary and there is one right where they are standing, sometimes the girls prefer water from the hose. 

 

Guille took just a quick noseful and kept walking, opting for a full body wash instead, but Maia was more than ready for her turn. You can see that she puts her trunk up to catch some water, which she then puts in her mouth to drink. After that, Maia opens her mouth up wide to indicate exactly where she’d like the caregiver to aim. She gets a nice, long stream of water while also continuing to take some in through her nose. By the end, she’s gotten a good soaking, then picking up the trunkful of grass that she dropped when deciding to drink.

    Oh, Maia girl, you are having so much fun. You are in control and your humans are so happy to give you what you claim as yours. That is what sanctuary is for – listening and complying.
    Thank you GSE for this awesome video of love.

    That is so great. Could you please tell me and I’m sure others how to tell the girls apart when we see them in a picture? I keep trying to see different area on them that could help me but it isn’t.. thank you for all you all do for them. You are amazing people to give your time taking care and making sure they are safe and healthy. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💗

      There is no single way to tell them apart. Each has a different shape of ear, length of tail, coloring, etc. It takes some time observing them to get it right. Sometimes I have to double check myself.

      That’s just how her eyes look naturally when the sunlight hits them.
