Burrito to the Rescue

June 22, 2023 by Sofia Castro-Loza

Burrito is the type of chimp that really enjoys interacting with caregivers, although he would happily interact with his group as well. But with the caregivers, not only is he always down to play chase, he is also up for a game of tug of war. It really doesn’t matter what type of day your are having, this guy will come to the rescue and will make sure to make your day ten times better. He makes everyone around him happy, and will fix anyone’s day in a heartbeat.

While playing with Burrito, Jamie was patiently observing from the window, and then made her way down to be closer to the action. She is known to be a bit of a fun police, however today she stayed back and observed Burrito and I play for what felt like forever. I love it when everyone is in a great mood!

I mean look at this silly dude!!!!!

Jamie always close by monitoring all play sessions

And by close by I mean really close by

    I loved Burrito’s turn around maneuver in tug of war. It’s hard to tell, Sofia, who had more fun. That was a very pretty scarf. i hope it survived the day.

    At the end, when Burrito floofs that beautiful flowery scarf all over his head! There’s only one Fun Guy Burrito! Oh to be filled with that much joy!!

    And it’s good to know Jamie was there to referee the silliness. Does she issue a penalty for too many silly butts-up maneuvers?!

    Thanks for the laughs.

    Sofia, you and Burrito have made my day! I chuckled my way through the video, butts up and all, and especially the fun with the scarf. What a silly, wonderful guy. Love all those panty breaths. Thank you for sharing these play moments with us.

    That wss truly funny! Funnier than any I recall at this moment. And what a perfect day for me to be rewarded with such a perfect time. Thank you, Sophia!

    Oh, Burrito! He’ll keep you feeling young! And tired!
    There is no escaping the Party Police! Sooner or later, she’ll come for you all!

    Sofîa, have you ever tried to see if Neggie understands Spanish like the Californians do? Because of her name (in some countries, “honey” or “sweetheart”), I’ve always wondered…

    Oh…I love the opening to the video where Bubba does his impersonation of a hippopotamus at the dentist office.

    Thank you to Sofia and Burrito for this wonderfully happy and fun video. It would be a dream come true to be able to play with Burrito and have him poke my hand :). Hugs to all if you!

    Hello, what a wonderful video to watch, such fun to see how much he loves to play. A wee question, do you ever have to say no, not at this moment im too busy? I loved this video, it really made my day. Thank you for all that you do, including playing.
