Eat and Run

March 26, 2022 by J.B.

When former volunteer caregiver, Sandra, came by for a visit this morning during breakfast, Burrito faced a difficult choice: take her on a run around the hill or stay and finish breakfast?

    Further evidence that non-human primates have good memories. It is a joy to observe howthe chimpanzees — and Burrito in particular — react when a former volunteer or caregiver pays them a visit.

    Oh, he’s picked up Jamie’s “clap clap”….now he’s to work on the “stomp, stomp”.
    Sandra that must have left you on cloud 9!

    To Sandra. He chose YOU over food! Oh my goodness. How fantastic did that make you feel?! Wow. I am so jealous. It can’t get any better than that.

    This is such a sweet funny video. Burrito is beside himslef with happiness. When he does decide to eat he pours the chow down his throat so he can get right back to the fun run. And J.B., when you said “Don’t run with your outh full” I thought I would die. SO funny.

    I believe if you look up the word “joy” in the dictionary you see a photo of Burrito. If you don’t, you should.

    This is so delightful that Burrito wanted to please his old friend. He also knew if he did not eat his breakfast another chimp would. These interactions are so heartwarming.:blush::hugging:

    Oh Bubba. You melt my heart. Very heartwarming video. Lucky Sandra to have such a devoted fan. And very fortunate Burrito to have such a dear friend come to visit. I agree that Burrito is looking younger.
