    Such a sweet face!! If you keep this up, I’m going to have to change the wallpaper on my PC every day!!

      Isn’t that the truth, Linda. Let’s see I now have the some of the “7” as wallpaper on my desktop computer, laptop, IPod, IPad & have the new calendar hanging on my wall at my new job. Life is great and seeing Burrito looking at me from the calendar every day makes me smile.

        I have the rotating wallpaper that stays on for a couple minutes and then changes to a different picture of the chimps. I am always adding to the collection! That is the only way I could do it.

    thats so lovely , foxie looks so relaxed and pretty

      My thoughts exactly, Marie. Elizabeth, I know a droopy lip, on a chimp, signifies a relaxed chimp, is this Foxie’s droopy lip? It looks a little droopy to me.



      • Avatar Elizabeth on January 11, 2011 at 4:18 pm

        Candy – I wasn’t here when the photo was taken, so I’m just going to speculate. You’re right that a drooped lip is a sign of a very relaxed chimpanzee. In that facial expression, the bottom lip is typically dropped even lower than Foxie’s in this photo. Her facial expression here is also similar to a pout or whimper, but those expressions usually involve lips that are more trumpeted. So it’s possible that Foxie was in between expressions, or maybe on her way to a pout. I hope Diana will correct me if I’m wrong.
