There are times we think of something new with a very specific purpose in mind. J.B. recently built a device that is an extension of one of the front rooms. It doesn’t really have a name yet and so far I have heard every caregiver call it something different. I personally call it the “Foot Box.” It was built so the chimpanzees could present a hand or a foot and we would be able to easily get x-rays if there is an medical issue with that extremity. This would help reduce the need to put the chimpanzee under anesthesia.
The chimpanzees, however, have other things in mind for this new box.
Since Burrito’s procedure, he has been occupying the front room where the box is. The girls haven’t had any access to it and he has been using it to play tag with caregivers or spilling parts of his morning smoothie on. Jamie, is very keen on every time a bit of his smoothie is spilled on the box. When I first gave the girls access to the front room the other day, this was her immediate response when she went in.
Later, she decided to start putting some things in there like her bowl.
It wasn’t until Foxie noticed this new contraption that I think I have a new name for it.
While she was in the front room, Foxie would continuously put her Troll doll into the box, wait a couple of seconds, and retrieve it.
This went on for quite a while.
I think I’m going to just simply call this the “Troll Cubby.” Regardless of the true intentions of it’s purpose. What do you all think?
Love it! I think I might’ve called it the “troll oven” but “cubby” is probably better. 😀
I find it so interesting that Foxie puts her dolls in situations that she thinks is dangerous, so that she can rescue them. It makes me sad and happy at the same time that she does this. I think troll cubby is a perfect name?
Yes, Sherry! That’s why “troll oven” is good! She’s “rescuing” him!
“Troll trap”?
Either one’s better than “something new to clean/trip over” or “too stubber”!
I wish the grill hadn’t been in the way of that pic of Jamie, it’s a fun one! Probably the silliest pic I’ve ever seen of her!
Along the same thoughts as Sherry, I was thinking if it’s safe for the Troll it must be safe for Foxie. Troll Cubby is perfect. If only the box were a little bit bigger, I could see it becoming a Boot Cubby.
The “trollincubator”? That last photograph is off-the-charts too cute. Oh, the look on Foxie’s face!…
Perfect name!
So So funny Foxie is truly interesting!
I agree with all, the look on Foxie’s face in that last photo is priceless!
So much contemplation going on…..
The troll trials continue!
Just love that last photo of Foxie. Wonder what was going on in her mind at that moment.
The box reminds me of a magician, pulling various things from their hat. How about Wizard Box!?
“Trollhouse cubie”?
The Troll Time Out Trunk.
All about the alliteration!
That’s a perfect name for it??
