As mentioned earlier, today was sponsored by Sweethome Teacup and the North Portland Yoga Community, with the hopes that the chimps would be “at ease, curious and content” all day. The chimps have definitely been at ease and content! They’ve been doing a lot of relaxing today, and I even witnessed Jody doing her happy baby pose in the greenhouse this morning, much like the one in the photo in the previous post! So, it really has been a very mellow, zen-like day. Thanks, Sweethome!
Yesterday was pretty mellow too. We put out buckets of plant-based, chimp belly-friendly soapy water and a whole roll of paper towels. This resulted in quite a few different “projects” that kept the chimps pretty enriched and content all day long. If Jamie wasn’t cleaning a toy or a wall off, she was busy wiping her hands and nose.

They always seem so gentle. Watching them really relaxes me which is what I need, so thanks to everyone.

We use “Bright Green” dish soap, which can be purchased at Safeway. I’m sure there are other brands out there that are just as safe- we just liked the ingredients list on this one: “water, plant-based cleaning agents, natural citrus scent and 100% biodegradable preservatives”. 🙂

Maybe we should let Jaimie clean the playroom tomorrow 😉
