Foxie and the paparazzi

Today I felt a bit like a chimpanzee sanctuary paparazzi. This first set of photos shows Foxie yawning – I just thought they were cute. The second though are spy-like photos of Foxie lying in a nest!! I was at the chimp house late and I caught her in an actual chimp nest (sheets and all!) way up in the corner of the catwalk. This is very exciting. If there were a chimpanzee sanctuary tabloid, I think the Foxie nesting photos would make the cover.

Get ready for it – the first real photos of Foxie settling down into a comfy nest of sheets. I don’t know if she made the nest or was borrowning one that someone else made.

She caught me taking photos, but didn’t seem to mind.

I know this is blurry, but sometimes that’s all we sanctuary paparazzi can get. Foxie is holding a troll doll in her left hand and a long-handled brush in her right.

    Good for you, Foxie! That’s the way to do it! You deserve the BEST.

    What wonderful news about Foxie, now to get that proof that she’s making her own nest. What a gift she’s giving to us all.

    This is big news…
    I think Foxie just gave all her human caregivers and friends an early 1st Anniversary present!

    Oh Foxie! You are wonderful and use your own time. I don’t think we would have thought it nearly as special if you had a nest when everyone else was making one. I especially love the photos of Foxie yawning with a troll doll on either side of her. Thanks for hanging out and catching her Diana.

    Great news!! Makes one wonder what goes on “after hours” when all the cameras and eyes are off our friends!!
