Eagle eyes

July 18, 2018 by Anna

There are moments in every caregiver’s life when a chimpanzee is wildly gesturing for something that they want, but we simple minded humans just can’t decipher their communication.
This afternoon Jamie spotted something on the ground that she needed me to give her.

After several minutes of frustrated gesturing. I spotted this single tiny black currant that had fallen on the ground at breakfast.

All is well.

Bonus!
Annie has chosen to make the switch from yellow to orange.

The portrait studio recently received an extreme makeover (more on that tomorrow). Look for portraits to feature a lovely grey backdrop from now on. Here’s Jody:

    Hello

    I’ll make everybody laugh, but for a long time, I imagined that her back was sore, and therefore this bandage was a kind of soft medical procedure, in order to relieve her pain.
    But actually, it was just a new fashion lol

      I too thought it was a type of brace. I’m glad it’s a fashion statement.

    After the Grand Kibosh which the Boss decreed yesterday in pre-empting play between Burrito and his volunteer human guest, it is nice to see that Jamie relented (however reluctantly) and permitted Negra and Foxie to roughhouse and groom…under her direct supervision, natch. After all, who can resist the sound of chimpanzees laughter?

    Jody makes a beautiful Mona Lisa.
