The chimpanzees have access to water spigots at all times during the day, but sometimes they enjoy a refreshing drink straight from the hose. Jamie occasionally adds a personal twist to the caregiver interaction when she brings her own cup.

That is JUST like my kids when they were little. I used to think that if I gave each of them a hose, I could leave them for hours, and they would not notice. Though tough on the water bill, I did let them play with the hoses and water in the summer when I wanted five minutes to myself

Oh my goodness I love her! She and I really just can’t understand WHY you can’t get the water level correct! 😉
You are a brilliant, compassionate caregiver, but I believe Jamie thinks you are not a good Bar Tender! Filler Up Please! To the brim……. ????
Jamie is a glass “half-full” kinda of a chimp!
She wants the cup full — why can’t you understand that. This is so funny; just loved this vidio
Don’t be stingy!, she’s thinking, but I think that she also wanted the interaction with the caregiver more than a full cup.
I think you nailed it Francoise!
It would be so fun to watch what they would do if they had the hose themselves. Squirt each other, clean the floor, etc. Any way to give them access to a hose for a little while? I pretty sure Jamie would know how to use one! 🙂
It would definitely be fun to see what would happen, and we’ve definitely thought about it, but we’re afraid it might end in Jamie ripping out part of the plumbing 😉
Such a precious girl.
