More fun than a blanketful of trolls

March 30, 2009 by Elizabeth

In an effort to encourage Foxie to explore more types of enrichment, Diana had the idea to tie several trolls into a blanket. Foxie carried this “troll blanket” around with her today for quite awhile, sometimes walking tripedally while cradling the blanket in her free arm. The troll blanket also inspired some great play between Foxie and Jody:

    Knowing how strong chimps are, it’s always heartwarming to see how gentle they are with each other. And there were some pretty good chimp giggles going there!

    Loved the close-up exchange at the end. 🙂

    What a wonderful video! It’s good to see Jody playing. I absolutely love the interaction at the end, especially the chimp giggles! It warms my heart to see and hear them so happy. What a wonderful gift you all have given them. Thank you for sharing this!

    The chimp giggles get me everytime. They’re ever so small, not a loud giggle but whenever I hear them I laugh out loud.

    Great video today!

    That was soo good that I had to watch it 4 times before I could respond. It is indeed so heartwarming to hear the hoots and giggles as they play. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing. I too especially loved the last part where it looked like Foxie was going to kiss Jody and then smooching up to the camera. This has to be the best!! (Until the next photos arrive.) 🙂
