During the last few days we have been making sure that Negra is comfortable in her isolation front room and that she is taking all her medications as prescribed by Dr. Zamzow. Her surgical site is looking amazing so shout out to Jim Repsher, PA-C for the amazing suturing work! As of now Negra has been a stellar patient with zero complaints about being separated from her group. We can call this a mini vacation because with privately catered meals and a break from rowdy group mates, Negra has been truly having the time of her life. It is a bit unfortunate that this comes after a big fight, but all seems to be forgiven since members of her group have been visiting and playing through the caging with her several times a day. Between controlled interactions Negra has spent the day nesting under blankets like only she can do and watching Shrek on TV.

The other chimps have been enjoying their naps and playing with caregivers all day.

While he was watching some chimp videos with caregiver Chad, Cy was caught dozing away into sleep:

Thanks, Sofía!
So….Shrek can hold Neggie’s attention! Does she rock out to the songs?
I absolutely adore those pics of Cy with his feet up and Burrito finally figuring out how to nest….qith a big ol’ bear!
Hope the rest of your day is awesome!
I am thrilled to hear how well Negra is feeling. It’s good to know everyone is dropping by for visits. And what is it about Shrek?! A chimpanzee favorite! Cracks me up.
Neggie’s sleepy nature looks as if it is contagious. Love these photos of Cy and Burrito. Zzzzzz. Happy to see Burrito hasn’t lost his playful spark, clearly Chad brings it out in him. That’s what friends are for!
Poor Chad!
Being Burrito’s friend means never saying you’re tired.
heads up!
the “notify me” still isn’t working correctly. when you click on the link to confirm, you get the “forbidden 403” message
So glad to know that (a) Neggie is watching (and hopefully entertained by) “Shrek, and that (b) Chad has guaranteed lifetime employment as Personal Assistant to the endless demands of Mr. B. “Nice workf if you can get it…”
I like watching Cy’s eyes slowly droop until closed.
So relieved to hear that Negra is recovering nicely. I love all the pictures!!!
So glad Negra is enjoying her alone-time. Finally all the attention of caregivers just for her, lots of soft blanckets and all the chow she can eat….its a pitty it took stiches to get her the vacation she obviously needed….
I am amazed that the big bear is still alive, and not ripped apart to serve as nesting material!
Chad is the luckiest person to be Burrito’s B.F.F.
And I can relate to Cy…..
I am so happy to hear Neggie is healing well and enjoying her impromptu vacation! i absolutely LOVE those photos of Cy boy!!!! Especially the one with him lounging with his feet up! I can imagine him thinking to himself “Now THIS is the life!!!!”.
