From the moment I walked into the chimp house this morning, Foxie had a companion – a bright, pink- haired troll doll, whom I named “Pinky”.
I decided to follow Foxie and Pinky around throughout the day to see what sorts of adventures they would go on. They spent quite a bit of time this morning relaxing in the Greenhouse, where Foxie alternated between holding Pinky and hiding her in the ceiling.
Afterwards, Foxie took Pinky for an adventure on Young’s Hill.
They climbed on the treat rock (a representation of a termite mound found in wild chimpanzee habitat)…
And then made their way back toward the Greenhouse…
..for more rest and relaxation.
But then, somehow, Pinky “transformed” herself…
…okay, maybe not. Looks like Foxie found another friend to keep Pinky company.
What a day!
You can never have too many friends! : )
Adorable, as always!! Such a little mother and takes such good care of her babies! At least she gets to live that out and no one takes them away!! Thank you so much for this beautiful post, Keri (my daughter is Keri also) and blessings and love and hugs to you all!
I read CSN every day. I particularly loved today’s posting. Please never stop sharing the day to day activities of these wonderful animals. It really captures the emotional lives they share, showing just how incredible they are.
What a great post.
I always thank FOXIE for introducing me to the Sanctuary which I didn’t even know existed before I read about her. Love the hands close-ups.
I’m curious…how do the dolls stay on Foxie’s back?
What amazing pictures and coverage of Foxie’s adventures throughout the day. Thank you Keri. I’m so glad she can do whatever she likes at the sanctuary:)
