It’s a suspiciously quiet day here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. But with the chimpanzees here, being suspiciously quiet means they are usually napping in their favorite spots around the sanctuary, or grooming with their partner of choice. (So really not that suspicious.)
When he wasn’t outside in the Chute area, Willy B spent most of his day relaxing.
While also looking devilishly handsome, of course.
And when he wasn’t relaxing, he was grooming with Mave and Honey B.
Though Honey B participated in many grooming sessions with Mave and Willy B, she also spent a considerable amount of time outside in the Chute trying to either spy on her chimpanzee neighbors, or trying to catch a glimpse of the cattle on the pasture.
I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to get much photos today of the Group of Seven. Jamie was very adamant about me not taking photos of anybody while she was around. I was able to sneak this one of Missy though, after asking Missy if it was alright with her.
Eye contact with Missy is always a good sign!
What a beautiful day it must have been for all! We all need days like this and I’m glad that they can choose just what they want to do! Thanks for all of your love and care for these magnificent animals, stay healthy and stay mighty (to quote Miss Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Much love and appreciation,
Caroline
I have to laugh at how you talk to and about the chimps and know just what they
are thinking. I talk to my 2 dogs all the time at home, while walking them etc.
and wonder sometimes if I’m crazy or not. I’m pretty sure not crazy just because
I do that. Thank you for making my day.
Wonderful photos of that handsome dude… and great blog.. sometimes things about nothing are the best 🙂 Thank you all!
Willy B is a dashing dude. He just kills me. As does Honey B. Characters, all of them. Sweet photo of Missy contemplatively looking at you. Glad Missy allowed the pose even if the Photo Police didn’t approve.
