Another busy day (for the humans)

June 24, 2019 by Katelyn

It’s been another extra busy day in the chimp house for the humans with unexpected occurrences and cleaning to navigate in addition to the usual. Which of course still means the usual for the chimpanzees: doing whatever strikes their fancy every moment of the day. Just as it should be.

Jody and Annie spent the afternoon luxuriating in the greenhouse, grooming one another:

And if you’re Foxie, it’s just looking fabulous because you were born that way:

Here’s a bonus short story about Jamie and her never-ending ability to amaze us. We were in the midst of cleaning the playroom this morning when Jamie got my attention and had me follow her (immediately!) to the frontroom that the trash can sits across from. She immediately climbed up onto the food chute and frantically gestured for me to show her the trash contents. Well, this was new! But it didn’t take long for me to realize that some of her valued reading material had mistakenly (per Jamie) been throw away during cleaning. So I found myself dumpster diving for Jamie. Rifling through a can full of papers to see what she might be thinking of, holding up each page and getting her nod of approval or her gesture to keep looking. In the end, we found what she’d been missing: two magazine pages of cowboy boots and *GASP*, her beloved Dwell magazine! Whew! Crisis averted. I adore her.

    OMG, what a crisis !
    You explained it so well , I almost think I saw a video.
    Jamie amazes me, for someone who doesn’t quite speak our language,
    she sure make her wishes understood.
    Thank you so much for being at her beck and call 🙂

    The great shots of Jody, Annie, and Foxie were more than enough, but Jamie’s panic situation was THE best. What in the world was the clean-up crew thinking tossing away pages of cowboy boots of all things? Crazy cleanliness maybe, but who in their right mind would toss out a Dwell magazine?!? Eeesh. : ) Thank you Katelyn for saving the day. Whew.

    Please tell Jamie I love her madly.

    This has got to be the most amazing Jamie stories ever (well alerting you about the fire 12 miles away tops it). I loved when she told you when to turn the pages on a giant book one of your contributor sent her. I am glad you all understand her and what she wants.

    I do like Jamie’s story, but I also love seeing BOTH Foxie’s pink tongue and her happy toes in the same pic! 🙂
