At about 2:55, when Leo rested his sweet head on top of the Jim-Tube 😂 how darling was that?? And he plays so gently, even when incredibly curious. We all just love you guys so very much. And, heck, yes - one of the best videos, period in any year. What a great idea to bring those big tubes back for toys! Merry, merry Christmas to all of the blessed, beloved creatures at Orphaned Wildlife Center! 🎄🌟❤️ And to Susan and Jim, our undying love and thanks. 🙏📿🙋
