Missy is having a really good day. She and Annie enjoyed some grass together first thing this morning.
Later, they played chase at the very top of the new structure.
For lunch, they sat next to each other eating some beets.
Missy often does things for the sure joy of movement, like this tightrope walk and dismount on some fire hose.
Missy shared her good spirits this afternoon by inviting me to play a game of tug-of-war with a blanket. She does this by pushing a blanket under the caging and giving a casual glance at her prospective play partner. Often these tug-of-war games are gentle, but she loves a serious match once in a while. Today, she was being particularly vigorous and I was left having to let go of the blanket when she was pulling very hard, which resulted in her falling backwards. She seemed to find this quite funny, so we repeated it several times.
Watching Missy today was a reminder to get outside, embrace the little moments, and have some laughs with a friend or two.
Those are amazing pictures. You just want hug him he is so wonderful. How can you not love these chimps they are so terrific. Their eyes are so soulful.
We should compile these dismount photos into a little flip book! Oh I just love these photos, especially the one where Missy’s back is parallel to the ground and the one foot not hanging on is still in a grasping position. Missy has the most adorable little muscular bod. And I was thinking the same thing about today— don’t waste a minute of it, drink it all in and enjoy it with your Best BFF. And I did. Here’s to warm weather BFF’s like Missy and Annie.
Enjoying a beautiful day with a friend is wonderful!
I suoi occhi ci parlano. Una vita intera da raccontare.
GREAT PHOTOS…the kind you want to go back and look at again and again. She sure has massive thighs, very muscular.
