Troll Dreads

by

As part of our continued efforts to encourage Foxie to use more varied enrichment — and hopefully one day nest with something soft! — Diana created the ultimate troll hat/wig. As you’ll see in the video, we at CSNW are not above looking silly for the purpose of entertaining the chimps.

P.S. As I was typing this, Diana caught Foxie lying on a blanket in the playroom (which I believe is a first-time occurrence)!

Cle Elum Seven DVD slideshow – who’s interested?

by

I am so excited! We are almost ready to make the Cle Elum Seven DVD photo slideshow, set to music composed by CSNW’s very own Director of Operations, J.B., available to purchase in our online store.

Thanks to the wonderful work of Kathy Cochran of Cochran Productions, who put the DVD together, it is absolutely fantastic. It is a little over five minutes long and has LOTS of photos of all of the chimps. I continue to watch it over and over – it’s inspirational to see our chimp friends enjoying thier first several months of sanctuary life. We debuted the slideshow at the Sippin for the Seven event and received GREAT feedback.

I just need to make sure that we are going to be able to sell 25 dvds right away. We’re pricing them at only $15 a piece, so please think about all of the people you can give the dvd to for gifts (plus a copy for yourself, of course), and either comment on this post or email me separately to let me know how many you will purchase once they are available. As soon and I’ve received 25 pledges, I’ll make them available to buy!!

Thank you to everyone for your continued support and love of the Cle Elum Seven. You truly help to provide them with the sanctuary lives they deserve.
