Slinky Entertainment

February 19, 2012 by Jackie

Last week’s spiderweb had some pretty amazing details that may not have been captured by the video. There were lots of little bugs (bees, caterpillars, butterflies) caught in the web, along with troll dolls, stuffed animals, beaded necklaces, and plastic Slinkies. The Slinkies ended up being a nice touch, because when Foxie would shake the web, they bounced all over the place, which may be why they got so much attention that day. At one point, I caught Jamie stringing some of the ribbon through the coils (much like she was “sewing”) and later, Missy took one up stairs and played with it for a while. I like how she almost looks proud of her creation in the video below.

The slinkies were sent by our friend from Oregon, Leslie Sodaro, who sends us some of the most amazing things for the chimps! From hilarious stuffed animals (some of my recent favorites being Spock, Alf, Richard Nixon, and Betty Boop) to crazy dolls that Foxie flips for (literally!), when we get a package from Leslie, we know we are in for a treat! Thanks for always keeping the chimps (and humans!) so enriched, Leslie!

Here are a couple more of Leslie’s finds:

    Slinkies—what a perfect amusement for them. Great items, Leslie.

    I love that last shot with Foxie and the Wrestler. Like he had any chance against a chimp!

    I remember playing with the metal slinkies in the 60s (I’m dating myself here). Slinkies are amazing, and it’s so fun to see the chimps having as much fun as I remember.

    Leslie, you’re inspiring me.

    All these chimps are very photogenic. as for Foxie, I suppose we’ll never truly know what the trolls fixation is , other then haveing all her babies torn from her at birth,, either way, Im just so glad for Foxie tha tshe has jsorted it out for herself . It obciously sets her apart adn its just part of her very unique way of HEALING and re covering from those horrible yrs in labs.
    As for Missy, one would never suspect she came from yrs of bio medical research labs,,, wow, im blown away at her resilliance,, magnificant,
