Jamie called me into action this afternoon.
We needed to quickly get to the top of the hill to investigate and hopefully chase away our neighbors who had come by. Don’t they know we are in the middle of a pandemic?
Also, she brought along a carrot leftover from lunch.
Carrots aren’t at the top of of her vegetable list but she’s not always willing to give hers up. A funny side story about Jamie, she occasionally gives us back food she doesn’t want. She purposefully pushes it outside the caging, instead of dropping it so a group mate can easily grab it. Jamie can be *ahem*… a touch malevolent from time to time.
But back to the tale our nosy neighbors! Burrito and Missy briefly joined our investigative adventure.
And Jamie successfully surprised our neighbors a little bit, which must surely have been gratifying.
But in the end, all is well that ends with a friendly equine photo shoot.
As you are simultaneously stared at by a carrot toting chimpanzee.
Oh Jamie, what a little princess she is, love the giving back food story, too funny. Well I am glad she made it through the field and to the top to check out the equine neighbors, what must have been going through their head when a chimp with a carrot in her mouth was staring them down.
So so good to see Burrito out and about, hope he is feeling very well and back to his adorable self.
Sending love as always
probably “hey, could you l9b that carrot over the fence?” 🙂
Oh Jamie,
I’m sure she just wanted to give the pretty horses her carrot…. Not !
I will never ever get tired of “Jamie stories”…She manages to crack me up no matter what she’s doing…
What a Chimp person & funny little stinker…”I don’t want it, but you still can’t have it”…Too cute…Love her charisma to bits…
Jamie….(The little chimp person rascal)…I bet she was hoping to use that carrot to show off in front of the gorgeous horses
Beta carotene, don’t leave home without it! I’m convinced Jamie knew the only way to get the interlopers attention was to come with a bribe in hand. She is so clever. Here horsey, horsey, horsey….
First it was Annie and her indiscriminate disdain for snakes (which is somewhat understandable given recent events, but, still, harmless garter snakes slither onto her list of deplorables). Then it was/is Foxie and her disapproval of grasshoppers. And now Jamie is exhibiting “displays” of equinophobia?! Oh, Jamie…they were just horsin’ around. Given their attitudes, I’m surprised that the State of Washington’s Department for the Enforcement of Wokeness hasn’t yet staged a surprise intervention at the Sanctuary to indoctrinate the Cle Elum Seven about the errors of their xenophobia towards other fauna as well as to confront them on their Primate Privilege.
Jamie cracks me up. She is like the older sister who won’t give anything to her siblings. Maybe she hopes to trade it in with the caregivers. Lol I was hoping she would give you the carrot to give to the horse. Oh well, one can dream?
