Lucky mudt be like the rest of us, cooking up a pot of soup on a cold winter’s day. Stay warm at CSNW.
That face! It’s all I need. Lucky has a kind, sweet, gentle face. Is she holding onto the spoon as a hint that she’s ready for a meal?!
Hope you get to catch your breath, kick up your feet, and relax when you get home.
What a beautiful face!
I too am partial to my wooden spoon.
Lucky is very special indeed!
Oh, the sweet darling Lucky! Where did she get that spoon from, I wonder. Her beautiful face says she may be cooking up a little mischief so better watch out. And, Lucky, hold on to that spoon!
I always say Lucky is the prettiest chimp I have ever seen. In the second and third photos today, she looks just like her brother who always look very serious!
Hey Cindee, just be careful who you’re calling the prettiest. Lucky is indeed pretty but there are others for sure. I’ve adopted Foxie so I’m going with her with Lucky a close 2nd. OK OK they are all pretty but Lucky with that spoon is indeed a charmer. All the males to are all handsome.
Ever since they arried, I’ve said, “She’s Annie pretty”.

The new Julia of the sanctuary. She’s gonna be whipping up some Chimp Macaroons! Everyone must submit their favorite flavors and colors.
“Bon appetit!”
“Bon appetit!”
Cindee you are correct, Lucky is very pretty and sweet too. I hope you were all able to finish everything that needed doing today.
Every famous cook must have a wooden spoon!
May I suggest a “Lucky” (Volume 1) Cookbook, with recipes from her fans? Of course she would grace the cover with her wooden spoon! I’d definitely submit a recipe or two and happily purchase the finished product! :strawberry::watermelon::eggplant::pizza:
Lovely idea!
It would definitely be a fun group effort!
Indeed! It could be a collection of international dishes – I would happily contribute with some traditional Hungarian recipes! 🙂
Lucky is such a pretty lady. I suppose between Lucky, Rayne, and Foxie, there are at least 3 spoon aficionados at CSNW!
What a beautiful soulful face!
Clever girl breaking the bamboo into a smaller piece. I wonder if she would let you apply the honey if she put her finger through the cage?
I have seen valiant efforts to get medication into a reluctant patient. I have seen medicine hidden in a Costco muffin for an orangutan. (Not the regular meds, which could be hidden in peanut butter or applesauce.)
I have heard creative discussions of what could possible work for enticing a reluctant hippo- whether frosting might work.
Honey B is so smart. First she tries to sip the honey through the bamboo straw, then she forms her own tool. I hope she’s better very soon!
Giving the chimps medicine in juice seems easy, especially since you have control to administer it. But I see how tricky this could get if an individual feels more particular about what you’re hiding the medication in. (Exception—Neggie and her chocolate pudding!) Can you give the chimps compounded medications (flavored or a yummy scent or both!)? If someone gets finicky midway through their med-treat, what can you do to ensure they receive the full dose? Or, do you monitor meds a little loosely and just feel relieved that a portion was consumed? And I’m also curious what you would do if someone took their med cup up to an area where you couldn’t observe them to see if they eat everything or if another chimp takes it. I know you plan ahead for everything but I’d be interested in learning more about the little challenges you face when it comes to medications. An interesting topic for another post?
And I thought getting my dogs to take meds was hard!
Beezus is limited atm, but you’re right–imagine having to do this with Lucky or Missy, the “eat up high” gals
Took me forever to figure out what atm was LOL. But I swear I did not cheat and look it up! I’m so proud of myself atm!
Yay! Us “over 45”:wink: gals have got this, Paulette!:muscle:
I’m just here enjoying some red pepper tomato soup from Trader Joe’s that’s low in sodium and wondering if that might work….
