Ahhh, summertime…

Jamie has been a happy chimp woman today as indicated by her lying upside down on her favorite barrel watching the happenings of the chimp house, occasionally kicking and flailing about when she’s feeling silly. I thought she might enjoy a drink from the mister on this warm summer day and she responded with a definite “YES!”

Though the chimpanzees really enjoy drink buckets and frozen treats, they don’t really like to get wet and while Jamie enjoys the mister, she typically only likes to catch it in her mouth. But today she was thoroughly delighted with a steady misting by her staff. And we were thoroughly delighted by her joy. Ahhh, summertime…

        If given the choice and opportunity, I’d much rather live under Jamie as Chief Executive of this republic than the current kakistocrat occupying said position…

    Simply wonderful! Love her spin and the way Jamie tries to catch the delicate mist on her lips.
