Occasionally we fill some containers with water and a tiny bit of soap (plant-based and non-toxic, of course) and put them out for the chimps to enjoy. Jamie sometimes likes to dip a brush in the soap and scrub the floor, caging, enrichment, etc. Jody, on the other hand, likes to put large quantities of bubbles in her mouth. Today, she even convinced Annie to try it out.

Play…again
I try my best to capture something original for the blog each day, but it seems like all I catch these guys doing lately is playing. So I hope no one minds another play video…
Getting silly
In a shocking turn of events, Foxie was a goofball this morning.
(I think we have the best job in the world.)
Lettuce bonanza
Jackie threw whole heads of lettuce on top of the enclosure tonight as part of dinner. If you know Negra, you probably know two things: first, she is not exactly the ‘athletic’ type. Second, she LOVES lettuce. So, we were very impressed when we saw her climb up and dangle from the tippy-top of the enclosure to get her head of lettuce! In the second part of this video you’ll see Missy doing the same thing, but with a bigger payoff. At the end it looks like she doesn’t quite know how to drop down to the platform without dropping her haul!
see you at PAWSwalk
I’ll be behind the CSNW table at PAWSwalk 2009 tomorrow. Be sure to stop and say hello! I love this event – so many wonderful dogs and their human companions raising money for a good cause. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning.
