Nothing’s Better!

May 17, 2025 by Kelsi

The other day I found Jamie in this magnificent nest, with a bag of chow. As you will see in the video, Jamie seemed so content and a little silly. She was making me laugh because she would roll up the bag of chow and then put it in her pelvic pocket while she made these happy little grunts. She was comfortable in her nest so I brought her a new bonobo book, because nothing is better than cozying up to a new book!

    So kind of you to deliver the book to her! Uber-Reads!
    Always good to see The Boss smiling and in a good mood.

    Jamie looks sooo, very, relaxed, and, comfortable in her soft, cozy, nest of blankets. Her, soft, grunts are soothing to hear, and, magnificent, sounds!

    What a comfy nest. Jamie and all the chimps at CSNW deserve pampering and love to block memories of their past life stories.

    That is one heck of a nest! Always nice to see The Boss feeling relaxed and a little silly!

    That is so charming. I hope that new tome about bonobos is as satisfying for Jamie to read as it is to carry about in her pelvic pocket.

    Darling Jamie, is a master nest maker! It looks so comfortable. Definitely a perfect way to enjoy a new book and some yummy chow!

    whoa!! I think that’s about the biggest/deepest/highest nest I’ve ever seen! good job Kelsi for catchin James in her happy place to share with us. This is a really special post.

    That’s just about the best thing I’ve ever seen or heard! It’s so obvious that Jamie considers you a dear and trusted friend, Kelsi. She seems to have this relaxed comfortable vibe around you and it often shines through in the photos you take of Jamie. But, this! This video is priceless. Jamie is 2-3 feet off the ground in her stacked blanket nest!! And her little satisfied grunts seem like something she would do in private but instead, she shares her joy with you.
