The best 3 minutes of your day

The following is a longer video I got this morning. We try to keep our videos short (not everyone is as obsessed with the chimps as we are!), but this one was just too good to cut much out. So, prepare yourself for the best 3 minutes of your (and my) day:

    I second the motion. At one point, I could just imagine Foxie saying ‘Hey. Don’t forget… you were chasing me. We’ve not finished playing yet’. Thanks so much for sharing this.

    Sweet, sweet, sweet! Definitely the best three minutes of my day….and yes, I am as obsessed about the chimps as you are. I could watch that all day long. At one point, Neggie was really moving there (for Neggie)! And Foxie was so great at keeping her engaged. Those huge play faces! Melts me! And Marie, I know what you mean about the windchimes…so soothing and always makes me think of the chimp house. 🙂

    According to my calculations (which could be wrong) 3 minutes represents about .2% of our days. Truly a miniscule amount of time packed with such great joy!!! This was wonderful, everyone said it great already – such a short amount of time – such great fun – longer vidoes are great!!!!!!!!! Loved Foxie’s obvious care in tailoring the event to Neggie’s ways – such love and care!

    Those play faces are the best yet.

    What a charming video–what could be better than to watch those two engage in play. And the perfect ending for Negra–slipping the blanket on again for a nap. Always ready to see more!! Many thanks

    Thank you, Foxie, for getting the Queen up and running (Negra style)!!

    Love the play faces and nodding. Having fun and still being so gentle, lovely. What sweet ladies they are. I was so happy to find this when I woke up this morning. 🙂 Thank you.

    Oh what fun to see those two playing! And for Foxie to slow down so Negra can keep up is just so heart warming. And I agree with everyone else thank you for the long video. We can never get enough of those!!! It will be the best 3 minutes of my day for at least 30 minutes throughout the day!!!

    Bring on the videos! I could watch chimp tv all day long 😀

    Absolutely beautiful! For me, the longer the video the better. These girls made me just as happy as they were. Thank you, Jackie for a lovely 3 minutes!

    This was the best 3 minutes of my day and will be for many days to come! Loved it!

    Awesome! I also like the fact that all chimps seem to play at Negra’s speed.
