Foxie nest

May 25, 2011 by Sarah

It was a rainy gloomy day today so I put a video on for the chimps to watch. Foxie, Negra, Annie, and Burrito were all watching at one point or another. I noticed that Foxie was “nesting” with her trolls so I thought I’d grab a few blankets to see if she wanted them. She took about 10 (which is rare for Foxie!). I didn’t catch it, but she sat in the nest and watched TV for a few minutes. When I came back with the camera she was sitting beside it (see below – still watching TV). It was a nice big cozy nest!

    Just the idea that Foxie took the blankets offered to her and she made some sort of a nest is a big step. It’s not a bad looking nest!

    P.S. It was a good day for a nest and laying back to watch a good movie (or even a bad one).

    It is so good to see Foxie practicing Self Love with the nest building. It is a statement to how safe she feels that she can finally give herself the comfort she deserves.

    How wonderful to hear the news and see the results of the loving care everyone has given Foxie!!!! It is a beautiful testimony of what a sanctuary is all about. Thank you for sharing and for giving these beautiful beings such peace and trust.
