Jody building a nest
We put out fresh straw this morning in the outdoor area and Jody wasted no time building a large, comfortable nest.
Watch Seattle’s King 5 tonight
On Tuesday, the Cle Elum City Council passed a proclamation to make the Cle Elum Seven honorary citizens of the city. The Daily Record published a story about this, which was picked up by the Associated Press earlier today.
This afternoon Gary Chittim from King 5, who was here the day the chimps arrived, came out today to see how the Cle Elum Seven are doing a year later.
The story will be on the news tonight – tune in!
King 5 also has a new blog called Pet Dish, and Katherine Sather wrote about the proclamation today on that blog.
$7000 goal update
Just wanted to point out that we’re up to $3995 towards our $7000 anniversary fundraising goal and 12 people (including Negra) now have fundraising pages! Thanks for all who are fundraising – Pam, Tamela, Margaret, Susan, Courtney, Jackie, Sara, Grace, Michelle, Nicole and Jeani (hmmm, all women…)
Check out all of the wonderful and creative pages here and see what some folks are offering in return for donations. There are only 20 days left to raise $3000, so I hope you’ll consider giving to someone’s page today if you haven’t already.
Can you believe the one year anniversary and Negra’s birthday celebration is in three days?!
Special request from Negra for her birthday (this Saturday!)
Ok, it’s from me. Out here in Cle Elum, there aren’t a ton of shopping venues. We’ve got Safeway, which we LOVE! But other than that, not so many options. So I’m alerting you, faithful readers, that we are in need of some shopping assistance: if you click on the Amazon wishlist at the right side of your screen, and use the “last updated” option, you’ll see protein powder at the top of the list. We’re out! I’ll send a special Negra photo to the first person to replenish our protein powder supply! Who wants to help? I’ll update this post when someone snaps it up! UPDATE: ALL DONE! Thanks so much everyone. I think I’m going to have to make this a weekly event!
A day in the life of a coconut
Burrito carried around his coconut for a couple of hours this morning (rolling it, shaking it, cradling it) before breaking it open to enjoy the goodness. Be sure your speaker volume is up so you can hear his contented grunts and moans.
Chillin’ outside
It’s a little overcast in Cle Elum today, but that didn’t stop the chimps from spending some time outside. Jamie patrolled the outdoor area wearing her troll scarf, Missy engaged Diana in a game of chase, and Annie had a quiet moment with a mirror.
