    Missy being so Gentle with the Grande Dame is so lovely. And OMG to the first Play Pair. You got to believe the Trolls would be involved! LOL!

    Good for Missy to engage Neggie is such a gentle way.

    Great way to end, with a kiss on the head. 🙂

    Loved all the chimp laughter!!

    Pretty hard to top the ear-bite in the 2nd video. That was amazing to see the gentleness!!

    Love those girls!!

    It’s always great to see them playing. 🙂 I love Missy’s kisses at the end of the video. Priceless. 😀

    I didn’t need identification in the first part, Foxie is so obvious with trolls in her feet!

    How sweet of Missy to tone it down for Negra. What did her droopy bottom lip signify? Negra seems to be involved in quite a number of play sessions recently. It’s so wonderful to finally see her coming out of her shell!

      A drooped bottom lip often signifies that a chimpanzee is feeling very relaxed. The camera didn’t really pick up the sound of Missy’s quiet, breathy laughter, but you can see her bottom lip quivering a little as she laughs.

    I love to see Negra at play – what a good friend Missy is to everyone.
