Negra’s days are made up of quiet moments. She’s usually the last one out of bed in the morning, and the first to go back to bed after breakfast. She spends most of her day lying in a big, soft nest in front of her favorite window on the playroom catwalk, where she can watch the neighboring farm and the train running through the valley. When there’s a conflict in the group, Negra does her best to stay out of it, and she’s usually the one to end it with her “That’s enough!” pant hoot.
To Negra, sanctuary means peace and quiet.









She’s such a beauty, I love hearing about her, I love that she’s the last one out of bed and tucks back in after breakfast- a woman after my own heart- good for her!!!!
Beautiful lady!
Negra and I are both enjoying our old age!
Oh Negra. If you were ask to me to define “Sanctuary” I would reply “Negra”. Negra is the flutter in my heart, the catch at the back of my throat when I feel blissfully touched by beauty, she is what every captive chimpanzee should be — peaceful and free and oh so deliciously lovely. I wish Negra happiness always.
Thank you for this post, what a lovely way to end my day.
Sweet Negra, I do have a soft spot for her … Love hearing about her day, thank you!
Love you Negra!
A peaceful soul….
