Caregiving

July 5, 2009 by Diana

One of the more fantastic things that has happened in the last year is that the chimpanzees have new caregivers – staff and volunteer. Jackie is our newest staff person, and she is just finishing up chimpanzee care training. It is so fun to see the chimps react and interact with new friends. Today I spied on Jamie and Foxie playing with Jackie through the barn doors. Jamie had a stretchy hose-like thing that she was using to play tug-of-war. Being Jamie, she naturally wore a bikini top draped around her neck (complete with trolls tied to the strings).

In addition to playing with the chimps, which is a very important job, Jackie’s been hard at work caring for the chimps’ garden beds. Check them out!

    A bikini top around her neck!!! That made me laught sooo hard. It made me think of a time when I was much, much, much, younger and I got hit by a huge wave at the ocean. That’s exactly where my top ended up too!!! LOL!!!!

    I just love you guys and chimps!!!!

    Hilarious,

    I especially like the festive troll doll decor! Beach Party Bingo has nothing on Jamie.
