Some humans have this obsession as well! I wonder if a caregiver or someone significant in her life b4 CSNW wore them! I always wish animals could talk ~ would be such a wonder, woulndn’t it!! She is so beautiful and smart ~ tx so much for video and pix! Hugs to you all!
Hey! A girl must have her shoes!!!
Still laughing about Jamie looking through western wear catalogs to check out the boots! And I also enjoyed seeing her walking in a boot–not sure I’ve seen her do that before and I think she looked fabulous in it! You’ve just gotta love Jamie. I know I do.
She is so loveable, boots and all! How did you first realize she had this love of boots?
She got excited when a visitor came wearing boots. So then we got her a pair. Later, she started to develop a routine of asking us to wear them too: https://staging.chimpsnw.org/2013/03/the-things-we-do/
Isn’t she fabulous! Such a smart girl – thank you for sharing the videos.
Wow! when I received your note that Jamie loved the my old red cowboy boots I never expected to see this! I think she may love them as much as I did! So glad they bring her happiness!
I saw a video or a photo, or read about, a chimpanzee in a lab who had a thing for boots. The caregiver — who was someone who later left and wrote about the lab conditions — said that a chimp insisted on touching her rubber boots when she came to the cage. For all the world I wish I could remember where I saw it, so I could pass it along. Perhaps it will come to me but I’m not holding my breath.
Bless her they are her comforter and security perhaps
