Raising Standards
July 24, 2019 by Kelsi -
Yesterday, after we thought the playroom was squeaky clean, the chimps were invited back in. Volunteer Miranda and I gave Jamie a drink from the hose. Often after a drink we like to offer Jamie a paper towel to dry off. Jamie used her towel like normal, wiping her hands and dabbing her face, so Miranda and I went back to cleaning. Minutes later I noticed Jamie wiping down the new door, which we call the “howdy” door. Apparently as you will see, expectations have been raised.
I have to be honest, it was really hard to get photos today. The chimps were spread out everywhere and enjoying their day, but in not great places to snap some photos. However, I did manage to get a few bonus photos for you guys!
Look at this happy Neggie:

Loved the video and the other photos! I want to hire Jamie to clean the 15 windows in my house.
Oh boy! Does my heart melt seeing these beautiful beings. The video of Jamie’s decision to clean the Howdy window is pure magic.
Amazing beings… and a good job Jamie! To have a “Howdy window” to clean is pure joy 🙂
A photo of a happy, smiling Neggie is worth at least 10 others! Perfect!
What had her smiling, pray tell? “Got your toes”, or someone dancing?
Love it! Thank you so much Kelsi!! Just wondering if you ever play them music? Hugs and love to you all…
Do you have an update on how Ellie is doing in her new home? Is she making friends? Please post an update if you have one. Thanks
Jamie is truly amazing!
Thats so funny, I noticed on the video the other day that the plexiglass was a little cloudy
and hard to see through.
I can only hope that means that Jamie and I think alike 🙂
I have to admit, after reading the blog yesterday I was thinking that Howdy window was looking pretty dirty. With all the excitement over the window being installed you gotta be able to see out of it right? Thank goodness Boss Jamie is always on top things. She was taking her time spit polishing that plexiglass to perfection. Excellent video! Great photos too, especially the Happy Neggie photos. There is no such thing as too many photos of Negra. Thanks Kelsi!
Such a resourceful girl is Jamie, pretty soon she will be cleaning up the play room for you.
Haha, I think she’s already done that, too! (Scrub brush, flush the drain, etc. )
