Our Water Girl Maia

Maia

During the hottest parts of the day, Miss Maia has been spending her time in both the new wallow and the pond. She has always been our water girl.

Maia continues to be bright. Her spirits are good, but she has yet to be very vocal. She will quietly rumble on occasion but hasn’t made any of her ‘happy’ noises that we are so familiar with. Healing will take time, but it’s nice to see her more present and enjoying herself throughout the day.

    Wish I was there, looks so inviting. 105 here today. Do any of you ever get in there with them just to fool around?

      We are a protected contact facility, so that wouldn’t be something we would do. But also….ick, no, they almost always go to the bathroom once they get into the water and although we clean it out, still 😉

    It is a great way to cool off, right Maia?

    Does she still go looking for Guida or do you think she knows that Guida is gone forever and will never be back?

      She doesn’t seem to necessarily be looking for Guida, but she does still go to the same favorite spots they used to hang out. She spent the night and day with Guida after she had already passed, and has visited her grave since. We fully believe that Maia knows she is gone.
