When I arrived at CSNW this morning I was greeted by a nice long kiss by Jamie and breathy pants from the chimps. Jamie gestured for me to put a boot on and she broke into a game of chase. Jamie lead me outside to the greenhouse, where she ran up to door Y and insisted I open it so we could finish our game of chase on Young’s Hill. However, we close off the Hill at night for the chimps and before I can open any door there are checks that I have to do. But, trust me – I got her out there in good time! Today was a pretty mild winter day (which might explain some good moods this morning) and the chimps took full advantage of it. Jamie and Missy spent most of their day on Young’s Hill, and who could blame them! Jamie especially was loving this warmer winter weather! Jamie and I played games of chase inside, games of chase outside, we did countless walks, and spent sometime just sitting outside. Because we were outside for most of the day I was only able to capture a few photos.

Jamie tucked her boots safely in her pelvic pocket; shortly afterwards she gave me those boots to go walk with her:
Lucky you to receive boots that Jamie held in safe in place, ready to give to the perfect person. Jamie sure had you on the move, gives new meaning to Boot Camp!
Jamie should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most interesting and brilliant Chimp on the planet. It is amazing how she always gets what she wants from humans. She is a master at manipulating each and every situation! She also understands what is being said. She is brilliant!
Sounds like a lovely day – it looks like Jamie is smiling in the first picture:)
