Trolls

Business as usual

by

You’ll be glad to know that everyone is doing well, and although the chimpanzees are still trying to figure out where things stand after the fight, for the most part its business as usual around here.

This morning, Jamie kept herself occupied by playing with towels and water bottles (the loud noise you hear in the video is from Foxie hitting one of her trolls with a spoon!). She’s somehow always busy, and you can see how serious she is when she’s engaged in one of her many tasks, like pouring water from one bottle to another:

 

In the afternoon, Jamie, Foxie and Missy played outdoors. Foxie, of course, brought her trolls:

Another Playful Day

The chimps have been playing all day today. While we were cleaning the playroom, Foxie and Jamie played “ghost under the sheet” and tickled each other:

Later, when the chimps went outside, there was a lot of jumping:

…and wrestling:

…and some foot-biting:

Finally, Foxie hung upside down from the roof with a troll head in her mouth:

Keeping Foxie Amused

by

As you know, Foxie is completely obsessed with trolls.  Nearly every time we walk by, she passes one out to us to initiate a game. But there’s only so much you can do with a troll, right? Sooner or later, the passing-the-troll-back-and-forth game starts to get boring. Luckily, Diana is able to think outside the box. Tucking the trolls into our socks and running back and forth made Foxie so happy she had to do back flips.
