a routine only Jamie would have

March 14, 2020 by Diana -

Share with your friends!

I had the first clips on my phone from Tuesday and was going to post them alone today, and then Jamie went through the exact same routine that she did on Tuesday.

You have to love boss Jamie!

If you are wondering how things are going with the reduced number of humans, it’s going well so far! We are trying to approach this situation as an opportunity to reset as well as think about routines and plans. I have a couple of thoughts about some ways people can help us during this time that I will share with you all next week.

In the meantime, I wish you all good health and the opportunity for you too to reset.

    Jamie is so daRn intelligent, (the magnitude of chimp intelligence will NEVER stop fascinating me) that I bet she could do her own laundry… : )

      Lol, Debi, laundry? The blankets? (And Missy and Mave’s socks?)

    CSNW is my sanity right now. Truly! So grateful.

      I concur, exponentially! If only Jamie was in charge of our government’s response…

    You are all so remarkable to be able to handle this with reduced staffing… I look forward to hearing/seeing what we all can do to help. Thinking of all of you.. I believe that a massive benefit to us all, out here in the distance, is to connect every day with you all and the Cle Elum 7 +3…. it is grounding and comforting just to know what a wonderful place CSNW is. Thank you for all your posts.. and pics.. Jamie is a hoot.

    That’s my Jamie! She is simply wonderful. Who was that hooting in the background?

    Looks like the chimps are not only resilient ones. I don’t know how you do it but I am grateful you do. Take care of yourselves. xoxo

    I can’t believe you guys can find increased hours a positive!

    You guys are chimply awesome.

    Can’t wait to hear what we can do!

    So happy to hear all is going well. Sometimes fewer people can be better.
    Can’t wait to hear about the new ideas. One must be creative with chimps
    and bovines and animals in general so THEY don’t take over. Good luck.

      Considering the mess which the human species has made of life on this planet, I’d be quite willing to give another species (cattle, cats, gorillas, bonobos come to mind), a try at taking over.
