counting sheep...

lewis is feeling a lot better, you'll be pleased to hear.  but as for me, well, i've had some difficulties sleeping lately.

even counting sheep has not helped, as you can see.

so i took lewis's advice (for a change.  i usually don't listen to him when he says that i eat too many cakes and things)...  i went to see his therapist!

here we all are after the therapy.  lewis said he was drinking wine to celebrate feeling much better.  although he didn't feel better the next day.  sometimes gorilla's are silly.

you'll be pleased to hear that i am now dreaming of fields of sheep.  there are always lots of them.  i'm so pleased i don't have to try counting them anymore!

lots of love and sweet dreams (or dreams of sweets) nora xxx

In Treatment...

Hello all!  Lewis here.  I haven't been on here for a while, I know.  Very sorry.  Unfortunately all the work I have been doing has made me a bit stressed.  It doesn't help that I cannot tell you about the work, as it is all very top secret.  Anyway, things got so bad, that I actually went into therapy!

Strange, you may think.  A handsome, intelligent gorilla needing therapy.  But it happens to the best of us and there is no shame in it.  Anyway.  Here I am with my therapist.  He made me talk about lots of things.

It was very helpful.  Even Nora is thinking of going because she keeps having nightmares about falling out of a tree (apparently, that happens to pandas.  A lot).

 
My therapist and I got on really well.

So well, in fact, that he gave me a book to read and I even ended up helping him!  He gets stress too apparently!

I shall go and see him again, as we got on so well and he was very helpful.  I would recommend it!

Just popping off now to eat a banana.

Lots of love and happy thoughts,

Lewis MAD (obviously this means Master of Animal Detective and not that I actually am mad (mind you, I think my therapist is!)) xxx
