Generous Jamie
October 29, 2012 by Elizabeth -
While Jamie was collecting material for a nest in the greenhouse after lunch this afternoon, she found a troll doll and tucked it behind her ear for safe keeping.
As soon as Jamie settled down, Foxie approached her for some grooming (or so I thought).
It soon became clear, though, that Foxie’s true intention was to sweet talk Jamie out of the troll doll.
Even though she certainly didn’t have to (the boss of the group has certain rights and privileges), Jamie eventually relinquished the troll to Foxie, making her very happy.
If you love Jamie like we do, consider making a donation in her honor. This Halloween is her 35th birthday!

At last I received a posting from you! Jamie has always been a great interest of mine and was glad to get the latest news. I’ve always thought of her as a chimp genius.

Beautiful story and so sweet of Jamie!
Great pics!! I feel an enormously, awesome party in the makings!!
Ah, what a good leader. I love Jamie! I’m happy she’ll be celebrating her 35th birthday at a sanctuary where she has caretakers that work tirelessly to ensure she doesn’t get bored and where she can be herself 🙂
Perhaps the wisdom of her compassion comes from experiencing the same behavior from the humans in her life now. She is a smart gal after all!
