With Negra living apart from the rest of her group, we have been having group members join her throughout the day. Usually one of the other chimps is waiting to join her before breakfast and it makes it pretty easy on us caregivers to facilitate this.
This morning, Missy was not shifting and I took it as an opportunity to have her join Negra. She immediately joined Neggie and extended her arm to her as a greeting. After breakfast, they startled wrestling and we got to witness the sweetest play session! It was such a delight to see them play together. These type of moments feel even more special right now because of Negra’s health.
❤️❤️❤️
That’s very sweet, Jenna, thank you! Missy has always played more softly with Neggie, and here, she didn’t try the “spin away, make her come after me” evasion techniques as much as usual. Good ol’ Dr Missy will keep the blues away. Neggie saying “No grooming. More play!” says it was just the ticket!
So, very, touching that “Missy” “immediately, joined “Neggie”, and, extended her arm to her as a greeting! Chimps are, so, expressive!
I’m so glad she has the energy to play with her dear friend.
Missy know’s how to treat the queen !

This is an endearing video to watch. It is obvious that Neggie is still cherished by her friends such as Missy.
I love and adore all of the residents of the CSNW.
This video is the best! Especially when Negra broke into her famous forehead maneuver….with Missy’s foot!! A very sweet play session. Thanks so much for sharing this fun moment, Jenna. And thank you Missy. Nothing better than laughter shared with your dear old friend.
This is wonderful to see them having so much fun together. Sometimes friends are just what you need. Sending hugs to you all.
Thanks, Jenna. That was indeed a sweet session for both of them.
Beautiful video and Neggie and Missy’s friendship and love for each other shines through.:sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart:. Two gals just having fun together and enjoying their day. One to remember and treasure.
Just heartwarming. I so enjoyed watching their sweet interactions. Blessings to Neggie & Missy and all Beings at the sanctuary.
Love from Birch Bay. Maureen
I am so happy to see Missy and Neggie roughousing and having fun. Even if Neggie isn’t as mobile as before, she can still hold her own in a wrestling match!
It’ not play session – it’s rehabilitation physiotherapy :monkey_face:?
