My wife and I were in Palm Springs last week and had the privilege to visit Cheeta and his grandson Jeter and some orangutans, spider monkey and a baboon...we bought a painting! My wife, a painter, said afterwards, "I can't believe we bought a painting by a chimpanzee!" We both liked the same one...which was serendipitous. Dan Westfall was a perfect host. We spent two hours with he and the primates. Cheeta, as you know, is the world's oldest primate (not counting Charlton Heston) and is still in good humor and condition. I took photos, toured the home and primate compound, played with Dan's three dogs and one cat and had a completely enjoyable time. Cheeta's doing just fine.
Thanks for that info. Sounds like you all had a good time out there.
Would be cool if you could post a picture of the painting.
Did Westfall, by any chance, say how long they expect Cheeta will be with us?
