Day Nine and Ten

The chimps decided to be my personal wake-up call this morning. I’m not sure what is happening, but I think Herbie is not a happy guy right now.

What happened yesterday is something I never thought I would see. Patti, the alpha female, was examined by her veterinarian and two vet. techs from the Portland Zoo. I can’t go into what all she had done, but we got to watch everything from behind the Play House window---looking into the exam room which was the converted Chimp Kitchen. What an experience!

Afterwards, all Chimps Inc. staff and the vet staff had dinner in the intern house---around our picnic table---and stuffed ourselves with vegetarian lasagna, salad and brownies. It was a long day---suppose to be the intern’s day off too, but I didn’t mind helping out because this was such an important day.

Today will be another full day of work and from the looks of the sky, perhaps a rainy day too.
