Two hoots from the belly and I'm out the door.<br />I started with chimps at Jungle Larry's in 1974, I had an act with four and Roy had an act with five.<br />Roy's oldest chimp, Clark, didn't like me. Clark bit my knee and threw poop at me- at least he was honest about his feelings. I had a hard time connecting, even with my group; I was always suspicious they were a little more clever than me.<br /><br />I enjoyed them though, I think I was taken back to my childhood. I didn't have a favorite doll (didn't like dolls, I liked stuffed animal toys)and spent many years with Jo Jo the Chimp and Chester O' Chimp, who had a pull string and spoke phrases with an Irish accent. I don't think I ever missed an episode of Lancelot Link. <br /><br />My hat is off to you, Sue. You and Rudy had that special something it takes to handle these incredible animals with such great success.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11640605843329709012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-59877671824344602512017-08-02T08:20:43.219-04:002017-08-02T08:20:43.219-04:00Sue might fill in the blanks
