Four Picture Friday: Haircut

Mama gave Chimpy her first haircut the other day, but we didn't have the camera ready. So we recreated it for 4PF.

The first challenge was picking the right tool. We decided to go with Grandpa Chimpy's old horse clippers. If they were good enough for Teabiscuit, they're good enough for us.

The second challenge was getting the bowl on Chimpy's head.

But the hardest part was steeling our nerves. Mama almost couldn't go through with it.

Steady... steady...

"You have done this before, haven't you?" Chimpy reconsiders the bowl.

Such lovely bangs. Très belle!

Four Picture Friday: Bébé Baguette

The other day I took Chimpy to the marketplace. She is used to seeing me bite the end off of the baguette while shopping so, being in my arm and close enough to grab the baguette for once, decided to try it herself. She went crazy for it! When I tried to take the baguette away from her, she cried. Chimpy carried the baguette all the way home and gnawed on the end of it for the better part of an hour.

Monday Matinee: Chimpy Boop

One of our early-morning routines is watching a Betty Boop cartoon. Chimpy's really gotten to like them and when I ask, "Chimpy, do you want to watch Betty Boop?" she will smile and put her arms up (if she's in the mood). Here is Chimpy clapping when we get to her favorite part of Betty Boop, M.D. (a cat can't see over a crowd and throws his head in the air to get a better view):



And in case you think the applause timing is random:



Here's the full cartoon:
