Enriching Jamie Chimpanzee

February 9, 2016 by Anna

Of all the residents at CSNW, Jamie is the most interested in participating in human activities. We’ve seen her shovel snow and use tools, along with many other human oriented projects. Our strict guidelines for enrichment mean we can’t give her absolutely everything she desires (can you imagine Jamie wielding a real power tool?!). But with some creativity, we can still find things that entertain her. The other day we had a bit of success with some new art supplies.

    I loved the way she put the tip of the pencil in her mouth like I do when deep in thought. It really looked like she was contemplating her next brush stroke. 🙂

    Has she ever finished an entire, full picture, or just done strokes here and there?

    Okay, seriously, I am a graphic designer who works freelance and I desperately need a new employee to help me handle my workload. I have been looking for the perfect partner. Can I hire Jamie, even if only on a part time basis? She is exactly what I have been looking for: smart, creative, thinks outside the box, isn’t afraid to stand up for herself or her own ideas and is ready to display and fight for her ideals. Experienced with managing staff an subordinates. Good for moral by getting us off our bums and outside for some fresh air and exercise a plus! I need a creative genius on my team! Jamie is my creative Gal Friday! XOXO, I love you Jamie.

    I think she needs an area more conducive to creative endeavors. I’m thinking a nice comfortable work surface. lol lol I’m thinking she’d love to work with a little more paint, fortunately you guys clean with hoses. Does any one else like art too or just Jamie? I Love HER!!!

      Every once in a while Annie will show a little interest in art too, but Jamie seems to be the most interested.

    Did you get to save her artwork or was it destroyed by the time you went in to clean? If you got it will you post it? Thank you.

      Unfortunately, we didn’t get to save this one 🙂
