Negra
The weather has been perfect the last few days, and the chimps have been spending a lot of time outside. Negra often stays inside for much of the day, no matter what the weather, but today you couldn’t get her to move if you tried.

PAWSwalk – more fun that a hangar full of dogs
Keith and I manned and womanned the CSNW booth at PAWSwalk yesterday. I had no idea I was going to have so much fun. Keith has been going for years, but this was my first time. We talked to so many wonderful people and I must have patted hundreds of dogs. The Seattle ‘animal community’ is awesome, and PAWS is an organization to admire. Hopefully there are a few new friends on the blog today that stopped by our booth yesterday. I hope to see you at the walk next year too!
One smoothie, two straws
Every morning the chimps have smoothies for breakfast. Today I served the smoothie with straws – here’s Negra and Foxie sharing nicely!
What’s it all about, Missy?
Three months ago Missy was sitting in a lab. Today? Enjoying every moment! And on the human side – five years ago this project was just an idea in Keith’s head. Today? He’s chasing Missy till he’s out of breath!

Jamie has a new hobby – playing in the sandbox that Kathy B. brought her
Keith put more straw in the outdoor area today and Jody was one happy chimpanzee. She even brought some inside with her to make a nest. Jody often lays on her back holding her feet.
