    Great video, Elizabeth! They are all busy doing their own thing and that’s the best thing there is. Doing what they want to do! I never tire of hearing food grunts….LOL.

    You look up the word inquisitive in the dictionary and you’ll see “refer to Jamie Chimpanzee at CSNW’ for a perfect example of the meaning.

    That clever Burrito collecting his primate crunchies in his hand then starting another collection in his mouth, what a guy!

    The videos the last few weeks have been exceptional, I can always count on them for a smile. Thank you.

    This is one of the richest — and funniest videos — you guys have done!! So many choice moments!!

    I love the hand under the fence — Come on, come on, I want mine!!

    What does the head bobbing mean? Does it mean they like something? Burrito did it in this video and when he was watching the documentary, and haven’t we seen Foxie and/or Negra do it when, for example, Diana was dancing?

    Edie, I don’t know who taught her that but the woman is exceptionally smart!! Yesterday, I swear Elizabeth and I saw Jamie tying a shoe… the right way. Well, close anyway… she was definitely making loops!! She amazes me every day…

    Head bobbing is a form of acknowledgement. It is a friendly behavior, usually associated with greetings, but also (especially in the case of Burrito) can mean “I really like this”. 🙂 He loves his chow and he loves his TV!!
