As many of you know, Jody has lounging in comfort down to a fine art. She is a woman who feels very comfortable in her own skin and always knows exactly what she wants. It brings us so much joy to see how self-assured she is. Yesterday Jody chose to make a nest in the chimpanzees’ plastic turtle wading pool while enjoying the view from the barn doors and Lisa was able to get some photos:
We try to provide the chimpanzees with a variety of enrichment each day and it’s their choice to use it as they please, or ignore it. Jody, and all of the chimps, are so creative and unique with their choices and it’s always a joy to see what they come up with. Today Jody has enjoyed wearing a rainbow sock on her foot and has somehow managed to keep it on all day:
I love this lady’s style.
Awww. She is so beautiful.
Jody is a fashionista :). Glad to see they have freedom to express themselves.
Jody is a sweetheart as are all the chimps. I would love to know what they are thinking and what they would say if they could talk.
Just finished reading a book called “We Are Completeloy Beside Ourselves” for our book club, about a chimpanzee names Fern who was originally brought up by a family, and how important sanctuaries like yours are. You do wonderful work and Jody/Jamie/et al are so lucky to have found you and you them!
Joan – I read that book a few months ago, and thought it was terrific. That’s great that your book club had it on their list. Thank you for your support!
