Burrito enjoys his lunch

One of the unfortunate aftereffects of the anesthetic drugs Burrito received for his exam last Friday is that his stomach has been a little upset. For a guy who normally loves food above all else, this is the ultimate cruelty.

Luckily for Burrito, and for all of us who love to watch him love his food, his nausea seems to have all but disappeared. Here he is enjoying his lunch this afternoon. Turn your volume up and listen for his periodic low moans of contentment.

    This is the first time that you have separated and put any of them under gas, did they react any differently towards you.

    Oh Thank You Elizabeth for this video. So nice to see Burrito looking A-O-Kay and enjoying his yummy, crunchy carrots. (Am I imagining it or does it seem as if he is favoring the right side of his mouth most of time while chewing?!) I have been so worried about him, poor chap. This video has made me feel so much better. Burrito is such a lucky chimp to be in your care!
