Like humans have the most normal friendships?
Very adorable! It’s so great to get to see them having fun!
Annie does love her jewelry and it’s great for playing with Missy.
Gosh, it is GREAT to see friendship – how silly, and fun for them, HAHAHAHAHA – thanks for sharing.
I love these pics of any of them wrestling!! Nothing better than putting your best friend in a full-on headlock!!
It’s such a joy for us to be able to see them having so much fun!!
Great pics Jackie!!
BFFs forever!!
I love to see these two together—you can see the joy on their faces. Thanks so much for catching this for all of us to enjoy.72RE
Oh Jackie, those are great pictures. I can almost hear the laughter coming from the girls. What fun they must have had. I missed seeing a sock on Missy! Has she stopped doing that?
She still wears socks occasionally, but not as much as she used to.
Thanks Jackie. I’ve got a new pair for her that one of the ladies I know knit and gave them to me to give to Missy.
Seeing the girls have special BFF’s , who they like to spend time with ,and play hard with… is all very heartwarming to see. I’ve noted that chimpamzees , also tend to find a special friend, who they develop close friendships and bonds with. Absolutely wonderful for them to have found one another , an absolute joy .. I imagine, these special friendhsips have given them so much comfort and healing,,CSNW is quite unique that way, as its so much smaller than most chimp sanctuaries..thus enables amazing close group dynamics …
Thanks for documenting and posting all the fun they so enjoy.
