Cleaning up

December 22, 2011 by Jackie

The chimps spent a little bit of time on the hill today, but it was really cold, so they were all warming up either in the greenhouse or inside. I was sitting in the greenhouse watching a nice peaceful grooming session between Annie and Missy…

…when all the sudden, I heard water spilling- a lot of water spilling. I looked over to find Jamie sitting at the water spigot in one of the front rooms, only she wasn’t getting a drink. Her feet were muddy from being on the hill, so she was pouring the water on her feet and wiping them off on the wall

I wasn’t able to get a very good photo, partly because of the angle, and partly because as soon as Jamie noticed I was taking pictures of her, she went back to just “getting a drink”

    Footprints? I don’t see any footprints! LOL! I wish we could understand what goes on in Jamie’s head. She is amazing!

    That is amazing! Watching her rinse her foot put the biggest smile on my face! I haven’t been able to raise my foot that high since I was in junior high!! 🙂

    Thank you Jackie for catching that shot for us. Sometimes the simplest still shot brings the biggest joy to those of us that love these chimps!!

    Oh Jamie, you are a hoot and a half!!! And then to act as if nothing is going on. You take the cake, girlfriend!!! It is so much fun to watch and wonder at the wheels turning behind those eyes. You will never cease to amaze me Jamie.
