Aw……sleeping with his back to a wall……I feel ya, Mr. B….
Ha ha, speed eating! That MUST be an event at the next Chimp Olympics! The other chimps won’t stand a chance!
What a charmer… that profile is SUCH a wonderful thing to see… when we consider the “simple” fact that people know all this about each of the 7…. it is truly a dream come true for all of them! Lots of love to Burrito and friends.. and the whole crew!
I wonder if he was named Burrito because of his great love for food?? He is so adorably handsome!
Coming upon a video on YouTube of Burrito playing an epic game of tug-of-war with one of his human friends was my introduction to Burrito’s home and his housemates. I was absolutely beguiled by him. I recall thinking as he played with one of his human pals that, “It sounds as if he’s laughing!”; as it turns out, he was. To this day, I can’t quite figure out from the video of May 21, 2017 why Annie gave the hint to Bub that she was tired of playing with him and that he should scoot on outside with the flower-sprinkler that he was chewing on.
Thank you Tobin for always bringing a smile to my face. Your descriptions are so spot on! I need to find that video.
Kathleen, your comments are invariably spot on, too. Keep on posting them!
Oh, and that photograph and pose: now why can’t that be on the ten or twenty dollar bill?!
He has always been one of my favorite favs!! He is just special and so lovable! Thanks for the specs and pix on him ~ love and hugs to you all….
That second image of Burrito is gorgeous. He looks like a leader with that strong forearm. Burrito, you are a very precious person and I feel blessed to have met you, and oh so lucky to have witnessed an epic play/chase/tug fandango event. Always Be You, you are perfectly perfect just as you are. XOXOXO!
How’s Burrito’s health been? He looks so happy and fit. Is his congestive heart failure under control? Has he had any discomfort?
