As the alpha, Jamie has a lot of responsibility. It’s her job to make sure all the chimps and humans at the sanctuary are following her rules. Anyone who’s ever worked in management knows that this isn’t always the most enviable position. But Jamie is diligent and dedicated to the task. She is a great overseer. One of her self-assigned job duties is to know everything that’s going on at the sanctuary at any given time. She keeps track of when people arrive and when they leave. She knows who’s authorized to be on site and who isn’t.

She spends a lot of time spying on the driveway from various vantage points within the chimp house or outside on Young’s Hill. The other day I caught her in one of the front rooms keeping an eye on a UPS delivery.

    Jamie was hoping the UPS delivery man was dropping off some boots for her! ; ) Beautiful photos of The Boss Lady.

    Is she for hire? I could use her skills to guard my property! She is the most amazing chimp! She is so interesting and always gets her way, especially with her human caretakers! JB finally found a comfortable pair of boots to walk the hill with her but she wanted them and he gave them up! If I had a business, I would hire Jamie as CEO!
