Eat, Play, Love
February 18, 2020 by Chad -
Burrito is really such a snow fiend. His first order of business for us today was to give him his pre-breakfast snow. When he gained access to the Greenhouse and Young’s Hill, he seemed unsure if he wanted to venture outside to collect his own snow.
He then thought of the most perfect plan. He can sit in the Greenhouse, and just have his human caregivers deliver him his post-breakfast snow. That way he had access to the outdoors, but the pesky wind would be blocked by the winter paneling, and he could enjoy.
Really though! He really loves snow.
Jamie, being the Boss, also wanted to partake on the snow harvesting the humans were doing for Burrito.
As usual, Negra decided to stay inside, nice and warm, under a blanket in the Playroom.
On the other side of the Chimp House, Honey B and Mave have been in super silly moods lately. They engaged in an intense play session with tons of laughing.
Willy B was not a fan of all the noise they were causing as he was trying to take his pre-lunch nap.
Luckily for him, Honey B and Mave stopped playing and began grooming.
It’s days like today when all the chimpanzees are happy, that my day feels complete and I have a constant smile on my face.

As usual an Awesome post today. Thank you for sharing your days at the Sanctuary with us!
Thank you for the wonderful stories and pictures today !
Great post. Loved the photos. Like Negra, I would have stayed under a cozy blanket.
Actually, I just noticed..Neggie’s got Sherpa there! That means she’s extra toasty up there!
I love that picture of Burrito perched atop a barrel, casually dissecting his post-breakfast snow snack. He knows how to game the System to his own benefit.
As for Willy B…ah, what a sleeping beauty he is.
Oh, that title, Chad! 😀
Have I just got used to seeing the photos on my little phone screen? The photo that Tobin mentions above–either it’s the angle, or it seems like Bubba’s lost weight. I guess if I didn’t notice it earlier this week, it must be the laptop.
Glad it was a happy, quiet day…….Miss Mave seems to be on the giving end of a lot of grooming. I hope the other two reciprocate….
Grand post and photos… a lovely snapshot of what a great day at the Sanctuary is like. Thank you all 🙂
Thanks Chad for putting a smile on my face too. And thanks for fulfilling Burrito and Jamie’s snow desires while both remained inside in the warmth. I swear I can hear Mave and Honey B’s breathy laughs right through those photos.
Wow, super photos! Great action shots! Thanks!
I, now, have a smile on my face. Thank you to everyone.
Snow clutched in hand, & blue toy clutched in foot, & you know it’s going to be another good day for Mr. Burrito…Napping & lounging around inside where it’s warm & toasty, & he can stay on top of meal service… : )
Thank you over & over for your dedication, & for taking on such a huge responsibility for the safety, comfort & overall wellbeing of these magnificent animals…
What an adorable post! It was the first email I opened and as a result of the message, I’ll go about the day with a happy heart!
I agree about the smiles. I get mine every day that I read the blog.
Thanks so much for that.
