That is one good looking girl.
I shared this on FB and a friend of mine comment, “Jamie is kind of scary. I get the feeling that if she were a human she would be inventing the cure for AIDS or something.”
Spot on, eh?
I love that description of her!
spot on indeed!
…..and Missy reminds me of Aunt Jemima, or the super fun aunt that we all have had, that also would get a wooden spoon on your tail, wipe her hands on her apron and move on!
woah. yesterday or the day before I was just thinking about and visualizing Jamie and her purse from a while ago! (don’t recall if it was pictures or video).. she found the nail file that was tucked in the purse (set out for enrichment) and started filing her nails .. I remember her finding in there a tissue and then wiping her nose with it.. oh Jamie you smartie.
I remember that video too and LOVED it. Debbie, can you find that link and post it for those that haven’t seen it? It’s priceless.
See link below!
I believe this is it 🙂

Yup! That’s the one. I’ve tried several times in the past to find it, but never could. Thanks so much for posting the link. It was just as fun watching it this time as it was the first time. Cheers!
Well ain’t you just looking simply marvelous! All ya need now is a sexy pair a boots and you’ll be good to go for a night out dancin’. 🙂
Jamie is related to me! Unbelievable – I too will be sharing with my friends.
Jamie, you are such a dame!!
A lady always has to look good. What a sweet looking face.
Oh my,, look at her,
What a Lovely Lady,,
a true, genuine Primadonna .
She is the CSNW DIVA !!
She sure knows how to pose for a photo doesn’t she? What a ham!! Let’s see, she’s exfoliated, filed her nails, what’s next, curlers? 🙂
I’ll wager that Ms. Jamie is more clever than some people,
How did she know that the file was for fingernails?
Before going to a lab, Jamie was in a human home as a pet and used in entertainment. She is most human-centered and does the most human-like behaviors, most likely because that is what she was surrounded by when she grew up. Unfortunately chimpanzees really belong with their chimpanzee mothers when they are young, not in a human household. And of course when they get too big and strong they can’t live with humans anymore, so in Jamie’s case she was sent into biomedical research. Thankfully now she has a sanctuary where she can make choices and lots of times her choice includes doing human stuff. She likes to draw with a pen, sometimes will put on clothes or boots, drinks from a cup, etc.
