Digging Out

Our cold snap seems to be over for the time being. Today’s high of 30° is a marked improvement over the highs in the teens that we’ve been experiencing for the last several days. This combined with some welcome sunshine means that Jamie is very eager to get outside. Unfortunately, the chimps’ outdoor habitat is still covered with a thick blanket of snow (including several inches of fresh powder from last night). Jamie briefly considered shoveling herself a path out, but ultimately thought better of it.

    Jamie! Don’t shovel! That’s what humans are for! 😉

    I know exactly how Jamie feels sitting there with a shovel in hand looking out into the cold. There is no fun in shoveling! Happy to hear you are all warmer. Hope it stays that way.

    Priceless! You can just feel the struggle. Love you sweet girl.

    A gem. I’ll come shovel you out, Jamie.

    You can see the conflict in her eyes. Should I do this? No !!
