“Beyond all challenges and suffering, there can be joy”.
For Negra:
“After lunch, I’m going to build a nest…a very large nest…a comfortable and colorful nest… that fits me and my stature as a true Queen. And I’lll nap…a very LONG nap…and ignore the comings and goings of the others, as I enjoy where I am and who I am…(I wonder what’s for dinner…)”
First picture of Jamie
If they only knew what I am up to in this brain of mine….. 🙂
Jamie says:
“Yes, I HAVE achieved a lot since coming here…and I thank all of you for the wonderful recognition of my talents as Fire Spotter Extraordinaire as I accept this award. The only regret I have is that it took the humans so long to catch on as I tried to tell them of the apparent fire approaching…patience is a virtue. Never mind…the boots are absolutely beautiful, and I treasure them as a wonderful addition to my collection. Thank you!”
Safe home.
I am CHIMPANZEE!
Jamie says: My dreams have come true.
Jamie : I wonder what is out there beyond the fence? And if I go there, what boots should I bring?
Negra looks so very happy with her carrots. And in Jamie’s second photo it looks like she has eyes of something specific!
It looks as if the first and third images of Jamie are identical, except the last is zoomed, so I’ll just caption the first and Negra’s. (BTW, how many thousands of dollars did you say were going to the winner, again?)
Jamie Image #1 & #3:
Name: “Jamie Chimpanzee”
Body type: “Semian.”
Hair Colour: “Grey, but in the sunlight sort of a taupie-taupe with soft flashes of silver.”
Eye Colour: “Deep pools of dark brown chocolate that actually melt when in direct sun.”
Age: “A lady never tells.”
Salary: “Didn’t you *just* hear me? A lady never tells!”
Occupation: “Well, I used to work in a lab, but now I’m a care-giver to tens of *the* most annoying humans I think I’ve ever met. For our safety, we had to install iron bars! They’re ridiculously stupid, and always doing something they shouldn’t. If they’re not constantly taking notes and snapping pictures of us, then here they come, cleaning up the fresh poo we’d *just* got done flinging. It’s a wonder we’re all not alcoholics from the stress!”
Children: “I’m sure there must be some.”
Interests: “I like long walks on the Hill; reading picture books; am an accomplished crayon arteest; love working with my hands and tools; love feeling the sun on my face and the wind in my hairs.”
So what kind of mate do you hope to find here on Match.com?”
I Ijust about peed myself from hysterical laughing… THANKS for brightening my day. Love all you chimpanzees and your hoomans
Negra Image #2:
*Cue Music*
*Negra enters from stage left in a very queenly manner; situates herself regally directly in front of the camera*
Negra: “I had soooo many…mmmahmmm…reasons for not…*CRUNCH*…nom-nom-mmmmmaanmm-an-mmm…(aside: oh, man, this is so good I gotta lay down)…mmmm-an-nanoyoyoynnnnnnnmm-mmam…*CRUNCH*…(she continues to munch)…mmmahmmm…for not losing weight….”
*CUT!!!!!*
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.
picture 2 boy those cooked carrots were awful taste today
Floating in the love of my sanctuary dream.
That one was for Burrito. I didn’t think you were looking for all three (the editor in me says “these” vs “this” ;o)
Burrito?? She said caption THIS photo of JAMIE. The additional photo of Jamie plus Negra would have fallen under the category she gave of “BONUS”.
I’ve got an editor in me, too. 🙂
Touché! Will the fact that I had not had coffee yet work as an excuse?
ABSOLUTELY not.
Until it happens to me. 😀 😉
“if you only knew all the trouble I’m thinking about starting…..”
Jamie: “Of course, the revised version of ‘Jamie’s Book of Boots’ will need to include my footwear with the Fire Department.
Negra: “Carrots cause freckles, and they’re not just for rabbits anymore.”
Jamie — “Health and Safety Meeting will be at 2pm”
Negra ” These carrots would be lovely with a little cumin and honey”
Jamie is thinking that Annual Employee evaluations are overdue……..
Negra is thinking those carrots better be organic.
