All Season Burrito

by

My phone has been angry at me the past week or so. The memory is near capacity and it sometimes refuses to run some apps. The culprit of the memory consumption? Photos and video. Though I upload them to a cloud drive, I still have them on my phone because you never know when you’re going to need one to send to some one. It’s (personally) tough to purge the photos and video from my phone. As I delete 100, I take 100 more the next day I arrive at work. But, as I try to better myself at deleting things off my phone and trust the cloud drive, I found several videos of Burrito and I running around Young’s Hill over the past year. Watching these over again, I realized something. Every season is running season for Burrito! Please enjoy this montage of him running around Young’s Hill in the various seasons of Washington State.

Here are some bonus photos I took today and yesterday:

Negra in the Greenhouse while the others venture out on their first patrol of the morning.

In honor of Becky and Mave

Many hoots and moos and thanks to good friend of chimpanzees, bovines and humans, Tobin, who sponsored this day of sanctuary in celebration of her dear friend, Becky Babcock and Becky’s Pal, Mave Chimpanzee!

“Another August 24 has come to pass, and as Mave’s Human Pal, Becky Babcock is experiencing her annual 25th birthday. My friend Becky is moving to another house and town and as she packs and unpacks boxes I wouldn’t be surprised if she finds that missing 1.24% of genetic material that would qualify her for chimpanzeedom. Indeed, if I didn’t know any better, I would suppose that she has already found her errant genetic material and has taken up residence at the sanctuary…the way she goes on and on about Mave and Honey B, you would think that she meets with them every morning to groom and gossip. Sincerely, “Tobin”.

Happy Birthday, Becky! Better keep up your stretching if you’re going to spend your mornings with these two ladies. 😉 We hope you have a beautiful day of celebration and thanks so much for loving these special chimpanzees women.

Mave and Honey B!
