Frozen Watermelon Day
Friday, July 18th, 2008Meals for the chimpanzees are served in the front rooms, but we figure it’s important to have changes and surprises amidst the routine, so we set up a frozen watermelon forage in the playroom after breakfast this morning. Sarah had frozen some watermelon with a long tube sticking out and tied it to the caging of the barn doors. When Burrito discovered it, he produced some of the most unreal food squeaks I’ve ever heard! Check out the video below. Oh, and speaking of surprises, we’re really excited about Sunday’s party for the chimps!! Thank you to everyone who got toys for the chimpanzees, and needed items for the humans to take care of them, off of the Target and Amazon wish lists.
more photos of Jody
Friday, July 18th, 2008These are of Jody enjoying her night package treat bag last night. I caught some pretty cute faces in between her chewing. 
Trixie the Troll
Friday, July 18th, 2008Well, Sarah and I discussed it this morning and decided on the name Trixie for Foxie’s Troll doll. Thanks for all of the suggestions!!Trixie is still with Foxie – day five of their relationship, I believe. Here is a photo from yesterday of Foxie eating her after-dinner treat (when J.B. and I worked at Fauna, we learned to give the chimpanzees “night packages” – paper bags handed out individually to each chimpanzee. At CSNW the bags have sugar-free cereal, dried fruit and nuts. The chimpanzees love this nightly treat!)
Foxie and the Troll doll
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Foxie carried her Troll doll around with her ALL day today (seen here in her pelvic pocket). We need a name for her pink-haired friend. Any suggestions?
