What a day! We just want to say goodnight from a very busy chimp house. Again, I can’t wait to write up a blog about Jamie I have in my head, but alas it will have to wait another week. I thought I would share a sweet moment with Honey B. Most nights when we close up the chimp house on phase 1 Honey B, Willy B, and Mave will already be nestled into bed. They usually like to go to bed early, whereas I am not sure Jamie even sleeps. But the past few nights as I am about to lock up the 3’s side, Honey B has been up and it almost looks like she was waiting for something. So, I have been offering her a few extra blankets before I turn the lights off. Once she has the blanket she throws it on her back or quickly drapes it behind her and makes a bed, meanwhile pant hooting goodnight.
If today had a theme, besides being busy, it would be the chimps love snow! Though by late February I think we will all be over it. But eating snow never gets old!
Even Willy B is starting to come around to this snow thing.
There was still snow on the ground, but enough had melted for everyone to go explore outside. Even NEGRA! I suspect she was trying to catch a quick glimpse of the neighbors in the chute or see the construction going on.
Burrito stayed back at first to be the look-out but eventually joined everyone out on the Hill.
Burrito or Sasquatch, I guess I will let you all decide.
Missy zipped around the Hill as per usual!
Little Foxie followed Jody, Missy, and Annie out on the Hill, but it got a little too cold for her so she turned around.
After venturing on Young’s Hill everyone agreed with Foxie and spent some time inside.
Negra wrapped herself up in an early Christmas present and did one of her favorite food puzzles, peanut butter magazines. I mean who doesn’t need a colorful unicorn blanket! I do have to make a confession though. This was my intention of putting the unicorn blanket on the wish list. I wanted to see Negra wrapped in a cozy, soft, and colorful unicorn blanket. There was a VERY good chance Negra was never going to see this blanket and Jody was going to shred it to pieces. But… just look at how comfy Negra looks!
Jamie had a busy day watching us clean and supervising the electricians working around the chimp house. But, that was pretty exhausting so she got cozy in a big nest she built and took a well-deserved nap!
All in all we day a great day, but I think we humans are going to curl up in our nests now. Goodnight!
Sent you guys a few things off your Amazon wishlist. Love reading about the goings on at the sanctuary. One of the highlights of my day.
Thank you for the wonderful pictures.
I could look at them all day long 🙂
What a packed day, it’s filled with a bit of everything. Fresh air, exercise, friends, spying, snow and more snow, Sasquatch and unicorns (!?!), cozy blankets and nests. Oh, I almost forgot…. literature on how to “Freshen Up Your Living Room”! What a day.
The unicorn blanket was so worth it Kelsi, Negra looks so cozy. It looks as if she is wrapped up in a museum canvas! Sweet dreams to everyone….
Hi, Kathleen, I also noted Negra’s place in the book and the “Freshen Up Your Living Room” piece and laughed out loud when I saw it. It’s also interesting that Jamie’s not the only one who looks at books so intently. Maybe some others do, too, but I’ve not noticed it in the photos before.
Honey B pant-hooting good night. Neggie wrapped in a blanket and devouring her latest copy of “Peanut Butter Illustrated.” Jamie taking a nap after a long day bossing the inhabitants of the Human Sanctuary Northwest: What a wonderful blog posting, and how absolutely adorable these chimpeople are.
Sweet dreams to you, Jamie. May your dreams take you to a year-end clearance sale on cowboy boots.
If that isn’t the description of a perfect day, I don’t know what is.
Looks like winter has come and the snow and blankets are out.
Interesting how the chimps enjoy the snow just like kids do.
First playing then eating it. Love it. Thank You.
What a cozy little post, Kelsi, thanks for the pics!
Is there a way to give the old and already shredded blankies to Jo?
Neggie in a unicorn blanket is perfect!
And somehow I knew when I got those troll treat boxes that they would wind up being an “in Burrito’s mouth” toy! The perfect size!
