Good Mood Saturday

March 11, 2023 by Sofia Castro-Loza

What a better way to start the weekend off than with a beautiful warm-ish blue sky day! Blue skies and sunny days bring out the best of everyone and at the chimp house it was no different.  Cy’s group could be found most of the day relaxing and enjoying the coziness of their climate controlled green houses. If not out there, Cy and Gordo could be found requesting multiple games of chase with caregivers. They would see the other playing with a caregiver and come by to try to sway the caregiver away from that with very persuasive raspberries. If only we could divide in two and play with both at the same time!!! On the other side of the chimp house Burrito was stealing the show. He spent most of the morning playing with Jamie, then Jody, then Foxie. It was amazing to listen to their breathy pants while we cleaned, our preferred type of ASMR. Today was also extra fun for Burrito because “lots of paper” was today’s enrichment. Caregiver Anna decorated the playroom with a whole new roll of paper and Burrito had a blast with it. Watch today’s video for a glimpse of Burrito’s awesome day.

    Sunshine and pineapples sounds like a tropical way to start the day in the chilly Northwest. Happy weekend.

    Oh Burrito! Dragging around his gigantic brown paper bag with a sprig of hair on his right shoulder standing up like a cowlick. But my favorite was Bubba on his blue throne wearing his long paper lei! He is too funny. His happiness is contagious!

      I just LOVE the way he puts his arm on the windowsill as a old man looking at the world from his comfy favorite spot.

    One more thing….thanks, Sofia, for including a photo of Missy pulling a “Fake Neggie”! You’d think Missy would be outside running in the sunshine instead of inside soaking it up. Happy seeing she still knows how to relax like The Queen!
