Day Eight

The arid climate has finally shown its hot colors in Oregon. The morning started out freezing and then by midday, we were sweating like crazy.

Patti, the alpha female, is having some medical issues that are causing quite the stir here. Veterinarians will be coming by tomorrow to further analyze.

Rachel and I wanted to display our Jackson Pollock talents so we painted pictures for the chimps’ enrichment. I did a portrait of Herbie you can see below. I must say, the similarity is uncanny.

After we did our daily weeding, we went on a walk around the nearby ranches and trails. It felt like we were in the Southwest---I still can’t believe Oregon looks like this.

  1. Herbie's portrait: Was it chimp enrichment or your own? Very cute.

    On the cows photo: Who you looking at?

  2. It is enrichment for Herbie because he likes visual things---but I kind of want to keep it! haha.
    And the cows are my new friends =)
