Missy in action

February 27, 2009 by J.B.

Missy was enjoying a game of keep-away with Jamie and Annie today. First, she came running into the outdoor area with a bag over her shoulder. I don’t know what was inside – it may have been enrichment that the volunteers put out, or she may have stuffed the bag with coconuts. In any case, she was challenging the other girls to take it away from her. After going back inside, she reemerged with a single coconut, clutching it like an NFL running back. Missy and Foxie seem to be the only individuals who know how to crack coconuts, so I think Missy enjoys making everyone wait until she’s ready to open them.

    Oh JB these are great action shots. I can hear the taunting and running around. This was a great way to end my school day. I needed the smile. Thanks.
    I love the bag and wonder if she is getting fashion advice from Jamie? LOL

    It isn’t hard to picture this action. I can just see the coconut tucked under her arm and her charging through the enclosure. I’m with Jeani…thanks for the smile!

    Great shots! She really does look like an NFL’er. Maybe we could contact one of the NFL’s agents. (Seahawks need all the help they can get!). Great laugh!
