      I was doing double duty playing and filming. If I hadn’t had the phone, it would have been more rambunctious.

    Thank you so much for the special video! He seems to have recovered and back to being adorable! What a trooper! :two_hearts:

    Lovely, endearing video. So reassuring to see Burrito be Burrito. What a joy he is. Gorgeous photo of Mave. Hoping all is well with the rest of the cast & crew. Thanks to all as always. Thank you Diana for the post.

    It looks as if Burrito wanted to initiate a game of tug’o’war with the blue tartan. Were you too exhausted by then to take him up on his challenge?

      We played tug of war off camera. 🙂

    Isn’t he just adorable. I love every one of them, but Burrito has always held an extra special place in my heart. He doesn’t need to speak ‘human’ as he tells you perfectly what he wants….run and chase, tickles etc. He loves his caregivers and chimp friends all alike….I melt when I see him playing gently with Negra, or Annie, and he must be a true friend to Foxie to be allowed her dolls! He inspires us all. Thank you Diana for a wonderful video.

    Diana, thank you for this enjoyable video showing Bubba being his usual playful self! What a delight and relief to after another snake bite “epidode” of this year to see him being so well. Whew! What an ordeal that was. It’s always so uplifting to watch his antics and how intensely he seems to enjoy playing and being himself. Head nods all around, including from me while watching!

    So glad to see “our boy” bouncing around and having fun. Gotta say – huzzah to the caregivers – that vid made me dizzy! LOL

    I think Foxie must have donated one of her babies to help Burrito start to feel better. you can’t keep a good boy down!

    You are oh so right Diana. Burrito is the light in all of our lives. Thanks for this video. Seeing is believeing and now I know for certain that Burrito is back to his old (or should I say “young”) self. Mave looks gorgeous in that photo.

    I know I wouldn’t get anything else done, I’d just want to play with chimps all day. Just wonderful to see Burrito so happy and fit after all he’s been through. Thanks for the video!

    Thank you Diana for showing us the good old happy go lucky Burrito, making sure you get your daily exercise; he is so clever to let you run like crazy, while he just hangs one meter left, and one meter right, while you have to take all sorts of corners and steps….
    And a bonus Mave on a log…..how lucky are we…..
