Jamie in repose
July 21, 2015 by Katelyn -
If you’ve been following the blog for awhile, you are probably aware that as boss, Jamie has a lot of responsibility and she doesn’t take this lightly. If there aren’t humans to supervise or fellow chimpanzee politics to stay abreast of, there are projects to complete, and of course, perimeters to walk. I doubt there is enough time in the day for Jamie to complete everything she might be interested in doing.
But even the boss needs a break sometimes. Once she was sure we humans were busy cleaning the chimp house this morning as we were supposed to, she decided to take advantage of the blissfully cooler day (cool breeze included) and have a rest after breakfast. A cozy nest with her favorite sheets, one of her boots as a pillow, and the dozing commenced.
After enjoying a couple of walks around the hill with her caregivers later in the day, she decided an afternoon nap was in order as well and built a nest in front of the barn doors which look out over the chimps’ garden. Warm sun, a cool breeze, a troll, and a boot pillow make for a well deserved rest for a hard working lady.

I’m so glad Jamie likes my old sheets! I used that duvet cover for YEARS 🙂 See you on Sunday, boss lady!
Great pictures! A well deserved rest for a busy lady!
I wonder if the boots bring good memories ???? she loves them….
Sweet dreams Jamie.
These pictures are so heartwarming.
Have you ever discovered why she loves cowboys boots so much?
Hi Roger and Sherri,
We aren’t sure where Jamie’s love of cowboy boots came from. She spent the first 9 years of her childhood living in a human home with a trainer and was used in entertainment. We don’t know if he wore boots, someone else she knew, or it’s something she has since developed.
