What does the fox say?
December 15, 2023 by Jenna -
We received a giant stuffed fox during the Comfort and Joy auction, thanks to a special donor! Due to some enrichment restrictions, Cy’s group cannot have any stuffed animals (a few of them would eat it) but they still got to meet the fox and enjoyed it. Later in the morning, after cleaning the Playroom for Jamie’s group, we set up the stuffed fox on Burrito’s blue barrel. As you will see in today’s video, Burrito absolutely had the time of his life. What else is new?
Thank you Pamela N. for the fox!

One of the chimpatarians in Lucky’s troop would try to each the fox? Hmmm…but I thought that Honey B is a committed vegan…
Gordo, Dora, Rayne will enjoy the stuffing as a nice treat….
Burrito is such a ham, but I think somebody is very partial to Gordo…
Oh it’s too bad Gordo’s group can’t play nice with stuffed animals. I think Honey B might like Mr. Fox to nest with. Perhaps you need to show this video to totally blasé Dora as a “How to” example so she can see Burrito having fun with Mr. Fox. Was Dora uninterested with the toy or miffed that you wouldn’t allow her to have access so she could eat the stuffing?! :laughing:
Terrific photos of Gordo. All of them!
Do the chimps wear the animal hooded blankets?
The only one who has put it on their head before is Burrito! :joy:
Well of course Burrito would! I sent the shark and lion ones, hoping to see if they’d wear it. I do fully expect Negra to don one of them!
I cannot convey with words what burrito does to my heart!
I know the feeling! Sigh….. It’s a gift of his, filling people full of joy and laughter and feel good everything.
Og boy, I bet the person who donated that just loved Buritos entuusiastic reaction. I think of all the chimps, Buritto enjoys life the most.
“Just arrived from the hairdresser’s….” – says topmodel Raynee
I know right? she must’ve had a blow out 😉
if Luckys picture hadn’t been labeled, I would’ve thought that was Honey B!
