Rest Day

by

Well today is turned out to be a pretty mellow day! After a rowdy breakfast some of the chimps decided to go out on the Hill for a walk. As Jamie and I strolled along, we stopped for a second to let Missy catch up. She came bounding towards us, but opted to run around the Hill instead. Jamie and I were at the tail end of our walk when we saw Foxie walking behind Miss. Foxie had one of her dolls on her back, and little Missy was stomping around trying to get Foxie to chase. Missy ran up to Foxie and gave her a kiss and some breathy pants, then ran off. Foxie finished the walk with Jamie and I. The chimps spent the rest of their day in the nice warm Greenhouse grooming and napping! Because the chimps were being lumps I do not have many photos. Fortunately, Foxie let me do a photo shoot this morning!

Foxie is one photogenic lady:

  3. Oh what must it feel like to be in your shoes (or should I say boots!) and start your day by making Jamie so very happy?! Loved your little happy dance as much as Jamie did.

  4. I agree with Gaby, I think the St. Pat’s Day party was too much for them. It was very sweet of Foxie to allow you to take these wonderful photos of her however. I especially like the last one and in the second one she has this cheeky look in her eye.

  6. foxie is such a beautiful girl. wow. she just looks so beautiful. thanks for these perfect photos of this most perfect person . . . foxie. most sincerely, lisa.

  7. That’s hilarious, throwing the boot down. It’s nice too to see a different angle of the chimphouse. Ever considered sharing a kind of floor plan so we can envision who’s where when you talk about the different rooms. Or a camera tour throughout. That would be cool.
    Thanks as always! You guy rock.

    • Si, si! Foxie e la Mona Lisa! I hope that Foxie gets to see the pictures taken of her…they — she — are works of art!
