Recently we celebrated the joy and silliness there is to be found at sanctuary – something that can be an essential part of healing. Guillermina took this idea to heart. It was before night feed, and up at the house we could hear someone splashing away. The girls generally donβt go swimming at night, but Guilleβs squeaks soon gave away who it was. We checked the cameras and indeed it was Guille having her own little party of one in the mud wallow in Yard 1. Pocha was grazing nearby in the neighboring yard, perhaps enjoying watching her daughter let loose and feel free.Β
This video was taken from the observation camera, so it has no sound. But sound isnβt necessary, as far as we are concerned. Guilleβs pure delight shines through with every dive, squish, and splash she makes.

July 9, 2022 at 3:12 pmI have a feeling our little baby girl is going to show us many behaviors attributable to her youth. I predict great fun to be had by all watching this one! Thank you, Guille for being silly!
