Holy Sheet!

July 12, 2023 by Kelsi

We recently asked for a few new sheets on the Wish List. As some of you might know, Rayne and Honey B seem to really like sheets, whether they are used for nesting, fashion, or playing! So overall bedding sheets are a great form of enrichment! The chimps can only have the flat sheets due to the elastic on the bottom sheets, however once we received and checked that they were chimp approved we put the sheets out on Rayne’s side. It was the first thing Rayne grabbed as you will see in the video! Honey B likes to think outside of the box, so she decided to use her sheets a little differently! If anyone has new/gently used top sheets they would like to donate for the chimps, we would be happy to take them off your hands!

Rayne with new sheets:

Just pictures of Rayne:

Jamie also likes to use them for nesting:

Now for the bonus photos!

Jamie scored big today on the forage, she only wanted corn apparently:

Negra was happy with her one ear of corn:

**Reminders corner** Don’t forget we have lots of stuff still on the Wish List for Gordo’s birthday! Yesterday, we started selling tickets for HOOT!, you can join us in-person on September 9th or virtually! We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone, don’t miss out on the early bird pricing happening right now!

    Thank you, Kelsi! Rhe second I saw the photo of Jamie with all of the Corn I thought “geez, leave some for other people!” and you must have read our minds, because then there’s a picture of Neggie with some corn. That’s what I wanted (well, other than a photo of some of it on her belly :slight_smile:)

    Kelsi, I really got a kick out of the title of your blog!! I just finished my dinner…corn on the cob, just one ear though. The video with Honey B and the sheets is great as is the grooming session.

      I was wondering did you ever consider sleeping bags they have summer sleeping bags you don’t even have to unzip them and they are so cool and comfortable and cushioning without having the Heat but having the cushion and the bulk for those delicate bones

    I enjoyed today’s video. I don’t recall Ever seeing Jamie groom anyone, let alone seeing Negra allowing anyone to groom her. The Boss certainly worked up an appetite with the panting sounds that she made attending to the Queen’s hygiene.

    Oh, and three hoots for Raynie’s tent that she fashioned out of her flat sheet!

    “Holy Sheet” got me laughing!! Nice! Thanks for the video of both sides activities. I enjoyed seeing the sisters enjoying their new summer sheets. I also enjoyed the three groomers. I honestly feel as if I have never been so close to Jamie grooming. Now that I think of it, I don’t believe I can recall seeing and hearing Jamie grooming (in a video) ever. What a treat, thanks Kelsi.

    I see Amazon sells cotton top sheets only. Maybe you need to add more to your wish list. I just know Honey B has 99 more uses for a sheet!

    Negra! I think she gets younger looking every day.

      At the top of the page, you can click to the main menu. There, you’ll see “donate” and that’s where you’ll find the P.O. box #
