This afternoon, as Willy B enjoyed himself in the courtyard, the other 7 chimps decided to cause some commotion. Foxie lead the charge, working her friends up into a flurry of pant-hoots and raucous displays. I always think of it as them yelling a mix of “GET OFF MY LAWN,” and “Oh my -that guy is DREAMY!” at their neighbors. Chimps have complicated emotions and equally complicated relationships.
Through all that noise, I found Negra, alone in her Zen bubble. She had better things to do than get herself worked up over some silly guy.
*Bonus* Annie and Jamie during a few moments of calm:
Once again Neggie & I are on the same page.we have food to eat& naps to take& nests to make ..who has time for drama???!!!
Oh Anna, you got me laughing on this one. What fun it would be to sit with the gals and get their take on Willy B sitting out there. Better yet, I’d love to sit with Willy B and hear his thoughts about the seven screaming ladies!
And then there’s Negra. Thank goodness someone knows how to keep their head together. Look at her. Queen of the Greenhouse, sun worshiper extraordinaire. I just love her so….
“Please, ladies. No autographs. “
I love these photographs. As for the Queen’s serene countenance, as someone wrote described her a while back, “Negra is a hobbit.” I don’t think hobbits get too excited about the presence of people like Willy B next door to their shire.
just second breakfasts and elevensies!
good ol’ Neggie, live and let live, there’s enough lettuce for all…
Looks like Missy should start pulling her grooming tools from a different post, lol
