Someone she remembers positively? Maybe when she was small enough to get her foot into an adult-human sized boot. I wonder if Jamie knew someone a long time ago who wore cowboy boots?

(at 1:24) oh dear miss Jamie: none of us can apologize to you enough for all the unfair, unnatural and unspeakable things that ignorant greedy humans did to you for 30+ years, before you safely made it to CSNW. (forever transforming & altering completely who you and your family were truly meant to be naturally.) so glad for you that you are at CSNW now and that you find some happiness in all your enrichment items offered to you that keep your mind & days stimulated and busy! those pelvic/hip pockets sure are nifty and come in handy!

The only problem is I don't think they would be wide enough. I am looking for a pair that is extra wide and comes in a big size. I am researching the net to find a pair that would likely fit her wide feet. Oh, how I wish those came wider. She would love a pair of those! Thanks for the link. Cardinal,

How about the length? I would love to find her a pair of soft house slippers that resemble boots that she could actually wear. I think she would love them. Would she let you measure her feet in inches? Maybe by putting them up against the bars in a game? How wide would you say Jamie’s foot is? How about the length?

Let you know if we come up with anything! The main thing about Jamie and clothing/shoes is that it comes entirely from her. No one at CSNW requires her to do anything she does want to. So if she wants to play with shoes, so what. Same as Foxie with her trolls. We are thinking (trying at least) of how to get some footwear for Jamie that she could get on her feet if she wanted to.

We really appreciate open dialog, and you raise a question that others have asked. As Denice (CSNW volunteer) mentioned, very little of the lives of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees have been "natural." No captive environment can mimic what chimpanzees would experience if they lived free in their native equatorial Africa. Rather than focusing on creating a superficially naturally-looking environment, we at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest find out what the individual chimpanzees enjoy so that their days can be full of enriching, mentally stimulating experiences. For more on the question of showing the chimpanzees with clothing, please see this previous blog post: http://www.chimpsanctuarynw.org/blog/2008/11/chimpanzees-wearing-clothes/ Thanks for your comment, Hilda.
