Not Your Typical Monday

February 4, 2019 by Kelsi

Today was not your typical Chimp House day. I had to do some door maintenance, which meant the chimps could only have access to certain areas at a time. Let’s just say that they (Jamie) were not the happiest about their schedule being off. Jamie kept herself busy surveying mostly me but also anyone else who stepped out of line, I mean isn’t that her job! However, we have amazing volunteers here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest who busted their behinds to clean the enclosures fast so the chimps could go back to their normal routine! And don’t worry we also made sure these chimps were preoccupied with lots of enrichment! Once the chimps received access to all of their enclosures they spent their snowy day nesting and grooming, especially Jamie – she was wiped!

The lovely Negra:

Jamie insisted on getting her magazine back from the playroom to pick up where she left off:

Someone left some steamy footprints:

Burrito quietly played with a scarf in the corner of Front Room 4:

    Although Negra seems a tad ambivalent about the return of snow only a day after she had roamed Young’s
    Hill, I am glad that this particular form of dihydrate oxide has returned to fortify the gastronomic pleasure
    of the chimpanzees.

    I like Jamie’s reading style, with her back foot as a magazine holder.
    If I had only seen the footprints pic, I would think it was out of a Horror movie,
    on its own…. Ooooh Scary !

    Lovely Negra in the wonderful light of the photo booth. Oh how I love her face. This was the perfect ending to lovely day.

    I hope you worked out all issues with your doors today and tomorrow is back to normal for everyone. But it does look as if Jamie and Burrito managed to find quiet places and special enrichment to pass the afternoon away. Love the way they both stare right at the roving paparazzi.
