Today, we gave Foxie the giant troll doll donated by supporter, Steve. Notice the mothering behavior. It makes me terribly sad that Foxie never got to mother a child of her own, even though she had several. This video makes it clear to me that she would have been an excellent mother.
CSNW style
We have some pretty stylin’ chimps here at CSNW. Sometimes, we girls feel the need to change clothes three times a day…
Jamie and enrichment
Jamie sure does know how to keep herself entertained….. (notice the “mask sewing” at the end)
Lookin’ good, Jamie
Today, Jamie spent some time brushing her hair, brushing a troll doll’s hair, and checking herself out in a mirror. Seeing Jamie doing such ‘human-like’ things makes us wonder about her childhood (her records only describe her as a ‘circus chimp’). She definitely loves being a girl; that’s for sure!! The song, “I’m so pretty, Oh so pretty…” comes to mind.
Rubba-dub-dub, Jamie and Negra in a tub…
The chimps have been using the tubs a lot here lately, though not exactly for bathing…
Rainy Day Enrichment
It is a rainy day today, so to entertain the chimps, we gave them toothbrushes. The activity may have been more appropriately called toothbrush sucking than toothbrushing, since most of the chimps were more interested in the toothpaste than in brushing their teeth. However, I was able to get a quick brush of Foxie’s teeth. I would say the chimps were pretty enriched!
Jamie sews
Jamie is a better seamstress than me!!! I love the way she holds the needle (plastic, of course) in her mouth!!
