wish list – new items

July 25, 2009 by Diana

Just wanted to let everyone know that I added a couple of things to the amazon.com wish list today. Two things we’re a little desperate for are memory cards for our cameras (we’ve worn ours out!) and a wheel barrow or two.

I’ve heard from a couple of people who are sending us troll dolls for Foxie’s birthday on August 8th – yay! Keep em’ coming! I was also looking for toys that Jamie likes. She’s fascinated by those old ball popper things – they don’t seem to make them anymore, but I found one on ebay for only $.99 – check it out here so you know what I’m talking about – I bet there are lots of these at garage sales and such.

In terms of BIG ticket items, we’re going to need a tractor with a plow and a loader before winter. J.B.’s started looking at used tractors online – maybe summer is the time to find a deal?

There are a few things that we now have plenty of – most notably blankets and sheets.

Thank you all for your help in keeping the chimp house stocked and the chimpanzees happy!

Sparkling Cider Enrichment

July 24, 2009 by J.B.

Today we loaded up a spray bottle with sparkling cider for the chimps. Everyone enjoyed the spray, although Negra had to take a break to spy on us in the mirror, and Missy and Jamie decided they would prefer theirs in a cup.

Foxie cuddling a troll doll

July 23, 2009 by Sarah

Here’s one example of what we mean when we say that Foxie sometimes “mothers” her troll dolls.

Celebrate Foxie and her string o’ trolls!

July 22, 2009 by Diana

Foxie’s birthday is coming up soon! On August 8th Foxie will be turning 33, and we are going to celebrate Foxie-style. We are planning to put out more trolls than she has ever had at once. So, dig out those trolls you collected in the eighties and send Foxie a couple to PO Box 952, Cle Elum, WA 98922.

For inspiration, here’s a video of Foxie with her string o’ trolls:

Ms. Jody does love her bubbles

July 22, 2009 by Sarah

Here is a sequence I captured this morning. I feel obligated to say that we use all natural earth- (and chimp-) friendly detergent so that she doesn’t get a belly ache!

Hands and Feet, Negra nesting

July 21, 2009 by J.B.

I envy chimps for their ability to clasp their feet together when they are resting.

Negra built a beautiful nest this morning from a brand new bale of straw. After settling in, she looked pretty content.
