Troll rescue

November 28, 2009 by J.B.

Foxie pulled an Indiana Jones this morning. I was letting the chimps out to the playroom after breakfast, and Foxie was the last one through the door, with her giant troll in tow. Just as I closed the door behind her, she seemed to realize that she had left a few other trolls behind. She wheeled around and looked through the closed door for her missing dolls with a slightly panicked look. I reopened the door, and she flew through the room, gathering all of her trolls with her free hand. She was back out the door before I even finished opening it!

Of course I didn’t catch that on camera, but I did take some photos of Foxie yesterday:

    JB That is so funny. I could just picture Foxie’s face. I’m glad to hear you opened the door. I’m glad to see Foxie liked the troll dolls strung together. In the last photo it looked like she was getting them ready for a nap. Thanks JB.

    Good for you JB for noticing Foxie’s dilema and reopening the door so she could gather her family. How precious she is. Heartbreaking really, of course. What a good little mother.

    I can just picture her panic when she realized she left some of her babies behind. What a good mother our Foxie is. Does she only have one giant troll or are you all drowning in various sizes of trolls?
