Halfway there!

August 31, 2008 by J.B.

There’s been a great response so far to the washer/dryer fundraising drive initiated by our blog community. At this point we’ve received over $1,300 towards a heavy duty washer and dryer to help us keep up with all of our chimp laundry. We’re still doing research to find the best equipment, but we’ll let you know as soon as we settle on something. Thanks and keep up the good work!

First dinner outside

August 31, 2008 by Diana

We set up a lettuce and homemade granola forage last night for the chimpanzees in the outdoor area and had a little cook-out with vegan sausage and corn.

Foxie’s got her hands (and feet) full!

(Note from Sarah: So sorry! I thought I had posted this yesterday but apparently it didn’t go through!) What’s better on a summer day than watermelon and sunshine? Watermelon, sunshine, and a troll doll (being held in her foot)!

Burrito strutting his stuff

August 30, 2008 by Sarah

When we say that a chimpanzee is “displaying,” we referring to the behaviors chimps use to show us that they’re in charge. For Burrito, this typically includes standing up bipedally (on two legs), pilo erect hair (puffing up to look bigger), running around, and usually banging or jumping off of something. It’s quite impressive to watch. We didn’t see Burrito display for quite a while after the chimps first arrived. It’s hard to imagine that these days, since we see him showing us who’s in charge many times a day! It’s so amazing to see him feel comfortable and confident enough to do what he’s supposed to do

Discover Magazine article that inspired Keith

August 28, 2008 by Diana

Here’s a link to the article that inspired Keith to help, eventually leading to the rescue of the Cle Elum Seven:

Such fun!

August 28, 2008 by Sarah

Here are the two best pics of the day! First is an action shot of Missy and Diana playing tug-o-war with a tie (note that both primates have huge play faces!). Second is a picture of Foxie all snuggled up in the sunshine with one of her babies.

Thank You

Here are a few more photos from yesterday. I think Missy’s expression in the last photo says it all.  Thank you all for helping to put a smile on her face.

And one very happy chimpanzee:
