Fashionista Patti by Kristin Harvill-Stoughton



As it was a normal day at the sanctuary, running from place to place to get the routine duties completed, I caught myself stopping in my tracks next to the front enclosure at Chimps Inc. As any parent or person who has witnessed a child napping upright in a chair or snoozing on the family dog's bed, they cannot help but giggle ever so silently as to not awake the sleeping comedian. I noticed Patti today sleeping on her side, with a glove partially on her hand. It appeared as though she had struggled so hard to get her long chimp fingers into a tight made-for-humans glove, that she exhausted herself into a deep sleep. It was also enlightening to see her on Monday, perfectly slipping on a large foam finger pointer on her hand. Patti is quite the fashionista when it comes to hand accessories!
