You Can Never Have a Case of the Mondays with this Bunch

November 15, 2021 by Chad de Bree

Today was a somewhat busy day. While we humans were making progress cleaning enclosures in the morning, we were thwarted by two holdouts by the time the afternoon rolled around. Now I won’t mention names, but…

*ahem*

*ahem*

While it’s pretty easy to work around when certain somebodies holdout, it just adds a little more time to the day. We don’t necessarily get upset about their choice to remain in certain areas we want to clean when we want to clean them because it is just that. Their choice.

During some periodic breaks during cleaning as we tried to develop our next plan of action on the fly, I was able to get these photos.

Jamie during her mid-morning walk around Young’s Hill. Annie is on top of the Twister with Missy right below her.
Foxie and Orange Blossom during her group’s afternoon patrol around Young’s Hill.
And last, but not least, Honey B in her greenhouse after lunch was served.

Hopefully these photos will bring some joy to you on your Monday.

    I so love that pose in the second picture down from the article. The one resting the chin on the side of the head.

    Hi Chad, your storytelling and the photos elevated my Monday! Great photo’s of *ahem* 1 and 2. Jamie’s profile silhouette, straight back and bedhead fluff, and Annie at the top of the Twister with Missy, all set below that dramtic morning sky totally capped my day!
