Sunday Smile: Guille Leads the Way

June 15, 2025

When Maia, Bambi, and Guillermina get together, the three usually follow the pace of one of the older girls. For this week’s Sunday Smile, Guille is taking the lead on a walk with her friends. You can see that most of the time she slows her pace to match the other two elephants. It’s only when Guille gets to the spot where she sees some hay that she starts to speed up. She is getting much better about tailoring her behavior to match the situation and this is a great example of how she’s maturing.

    This is so great! Hi girls! By the way, where should I send my payment? What payment, you ask? The payment for the therapy you are providing me, and have been for several years now. I know I’ve accumulated quite a bit of debt to you, but it’s been well worth it.
