In the greenhouse, there’s a small bench with a digital scale inside.
When a chimp sits on the scale, we can look up at the display panel and record their weight. This is important for overall health management as well as for dosing medications.
While the bench might seem to the chimps to be like any other bench, it is not. It is serious business.
The scale is a bonafide medical device. One does not play games with medical devices.
The most important thing to remember is that the entire body must be kept on the platform for accurate weight measurement.
Never stand on the scale.
Remain still during the entire process.
Do not, under any circumstances, taunt the scale operator.
Remain upright at all times! I can’t believe I even have to say that.
OK, I get it. You think this is funny.
Are we finished?
Right, then. As I was saying, this is a serious medical device.
Serious. ha ha!!
Thank you J.B. & Burrito!
One of those days but you put a smile on and even made me giggle a little bit.
Sure it’s cute when the burrito likes to be upside down like that there was another video I just recently watched where he was either hanging upside down or doing a headstand..
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!:)
Almost like he knows what you’re trying to do, and naturally makes a game out of it.
J.B., I’m wondering…do you have a favorite chimp? Does Burrito have a favorite person? Might you two be members of a mutual admiration society?
I do have a favorite chimp, but it changes each day 🙂 Burrito definitely has his go-to play partners and I count myself lucky to be one of them. But I believe that Chad has logged more miles around Young’s Hill with Burrito lately than anyone!
Just a guess, but I’d bet money that Jamie is JB’s favorite, with Mave coming close on her heels, and Negra is Diana’s favorite
This is hilarious! Thank you, JB, for your commentary.
LOL!!
J.B., as usual; in some kind of Twilight zone deal, you inadvertently realize that I’m as strong as I’ll ever be able to be, that one more physical therapy grueling aching medley of overbearing minute (although it seems like hours) of some rediculous exercise they’ve come up with to see if they could torture me more. On my breaks I long to just touch one of these busybodies, and I use that word in the most endearing way! Great post, I really needed the lift today! XXOO TO THE Cle elum 7 and the beach boy and girls.
Keep that train rolling, it’s worth it!
The chimps seem to be therapy for a lot of us!
Burrito is VERY serious about playing on the scale. Obviously. LOL!
Thanks for the giggles, JB! 🙂
Cracked me UP!!!
Anything that gives me gut giggles is tremendous in my books. Pics and words….perfectly done.
So funny lol Thanks J.B. I needed that!
JB, your dry and wry sense of humor is delightful. Cracked me up, too. And who couldn’t be totally charmed by Mr B and his antics. I agree with everyone else that it was just a fabulous addition to my day. Thank you for sharing these kinds of experiences with us. Sorry if it’s frustrating for you in your devotion to the medical necessities. For us, it’s a boon to a weary soul, at least for me it is! Thank you!! Now I have to look at the pics again (for the 3rd time!). More chuckles ahead…
“DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, TAUNT THE SCALE OPERATOR.” That’ll be five demerits for you, Mr. Chimpanzee, and your antics will go on your permanent record. And wipe that smirk off your face.
😀
Again, you slay me! Both of you boys. In the first photo where Burrito is sitting on the bench/scale he looks oh so innocent. In no time he becomes blurred legs akimbo, it’s too funny and so very Burrito.
Like everyone who commented before me, thanks J.B. for lifting me out of my space for a while giving me a good laugh. Did you ever get a proper weight on that adorable goofball?!
a scientific instrument being field tested by a professional…………..Dr. Burrito
Soooo funny, thanks for the laugh!
