Furnado Animal Shelter, Wednesday

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

There was a very hairy, very adorable chimpanzee named Paul in a cage in a closed-off room at the shelter today. April wasn't allowed to let anyone adopt him -- the chimp was just hanging out there for a day or two as part of a deal with Animal Control, just until they could put together the necessary equipment to house one of these guys on their own. The guys at Animal Control had been annoyingly vague about just why they had a chimp to take care of to begin with, and where this big guy had come from, but the fact was that Furnado had somehow managed to earn a reputation the place to go for tricky cases like this.

But damn, it was really freaking cute. April set up her phone in the room where Paul was and set it to record a video, then sat back down at the counter up front and watched the stream on her desktop.

What? Animal videos made everyone smile, shut up.
