Christmas Eve in the Chimp House

December 24, 2024 by Sabrina

We are one night away from Christmas here at the Chimp House and while caregivers are hard at work procuring the food for the festivities and wrapping all the presents for the chimps to receive tomorrow Honey B and Gordo are taking it easy and enjoying a long play session in their giant box.

Caregivers Krissy and Dusty hard at work wrapping presents for the chimps:

    Gordo, looks like you may have a new friend! But she needs to know…do you ALSO like obstinance and filth?!

    Cant wait for Chimpmas, enjoy it every year! I sent a note to King’s Hawaiian about how much the chimps love their rolls. I was hoping you’d get spomsored. Guess they’re Grinchy.

    Also, I forgot to ask…. watching Bubba with Celestino yesterday, I saw him spin….
    Have you guys ever given them a sit n spin? No small pieces…. maybe Luna could do a demo for them…

    Just like children (and cats, too) with new toys for Christmas, sometimes the box is the best thing to play with. Is that hooting I hear the chimps singing carols of great joy, while visions of sugarplums or spaghetti boats dance in their heads!!

    Merry Christmas Eve to everyone, especially Santa’s helpers who appear to be very hard at work! Gordo and Honey B are a crack-up these days. I’m guessing Gordo asked for boxes for Christmas?!

    May visions of sugar plums (or nut bags, or field roast, or Hawaiian rolls!) dance in the chimps heads. Sweet dreams to all. Rest up, tomorrow will be a big day!

    It’s so wonderful to see Honey B and Gordito having an absolutely epic play session courtesy of a giant box!
    I wonder what everyone is dreaming of this Christmas eve? New boots, Hawaiian rolls, magazines, etc.

      The list of who DOESN’T like Hawaiian rolls is probably shorter than the list of those who do!

    Apparently it’s not just little kids and cats that love boxes! Merry Christmas all!
