A Rayn-ie Day!

September 4, 2024 by Kelsi

Rayne has many sides to her. She is sweet, intentional, fearless, brave, social, forgiving, and accepting (especially in her friends). While she is all of  those amazing things, she is also funny and silly. The other day we kept finding Rayne in different positions on the firehose. Every time we walked by she was in a different position. Sometimes I think out of comfort and to watch what her caregivers were up to, but maybe also because she noticed it was amusing all of her caregivers! We will never know, but I have photos to share!

    Ha Ha .. I fully believe this is just to amuse the humans and the joke is on us! Adorable!

      I was about to say…not that I want Rayne (or any non-human primate) to be used (and, thus, abused) in the entertainment industry. That being said, Madame Rayne is quite gymnastically-adept.

    The photos are lovely….she obviously likes the camera. My favourite Rayne video is where she’s having her ‘beauty treatment’ for dry skin and she tries to help by rubbing it in! Smart lady!

    Rayne’s expressions! I see a new book in the making! “Just Hanging Around” by Rayne Chimpanzee. You can package it with Negra’s best seller, “101 Nests”.

    Sometimes a girl just gotta strike a pose.

    She looks like Beezus in the penultimate. Thanks, Kelsi!

    Rayne has the dexterity and grace of a ballerina and she makes it look sooo easy with balancing and well cavorting on those ropes. I wish I had a quarter if that lady’s agility. Go, girl, go.
