Best photo saved…

October 31, 2010 by Diana

We’ll send you an exclusive photo of the birthday girl at her celebration if you donate $33 in honor of Jamie today: http://chimpsdonate.kintera.org/

Thanks for supporting the sanctuary. We couldn’t provide the care that we do without your help!

HALLOWEEN

October 31, 2010 by Diana

The Halloween / Jamie’s birthday celebration today is perhaps the biggest party we’ve had to date, and the chimpanzees were food grunting and squeaking like they’d happened upon the most exciting food they had ever seen.

Here are a few photos of the festivities:

Jamie looking through a Halloween gift bag. Thanks for all the great new toys, Robbi and Dick!

Jamie (and really everyone) enjoyed the juice in Halloween cups with Halloween straws. Thanks, Stephanie!

Jody decided to spend her time bobbing for apples in the pool we filled with water:

Burrito went around to all of the food buckets and picked out the pomegranates, squeaking the entire time. Thanks for the donation to buy produce for the party, Tamela!

Jamie opened up all of the pinatas, including this boot pinata (thanks, Felicity!), but she left some nuts behind. Here’s Negra getting what was left behind:

Foxie kept going back to this bag and peering inside, but she left it for someone else to open. Jamie finally did and Foxie got the troll doll that was in the bag:

Felicity’s Lucky Seven Day

October 31, 2010 by Diana

In addition to being Halloween and Jamie’s birthday (party!!). Today is Felicity’s Lucky Seven Day. This is the seventh in a series of Sponsor-a-Days honoring Felicity Wood.

As you probably well know from the previous six Felicity Days, for her birthday this year, Felicity asked her loved ones to donate to the sanctuary. Her family and friends responded by honoring her throughout the year. Felicity was so successful in her fundraising that she raised the 2nd highest amount of anyone during our Anniversary Fundraising for the chimp-proof windows.

Today’s day is from Sam and Bailey, two of Felicity’s beloved canine family members (smart dogs!)

Here’s a close-up of one of my favorite photos of Jamie, taken by Sarah in 2009. You may have received a donation thank you card with this photo on the front:

People (or perhaps even dogs) you love would love to give to your chimpanzee friends in your honor. Just send people this link to the donation form: http://sponsoradayforchimps.kintera.org/ and this link to take a peak at the Sponsor-a-Day calendar: https://chimpsnw.org/you_can_help/donate/#SponsorADay

Changes to blog comments and new stuff in the store

October 28, 2010 by Diana

I have made a couple of changes that effect blog comments. At least temporarily, all comments will have to be approved before they are posted to the blog. This will mean a delay in your comments showing up on the blog. I did this to hopefully better control any possible security compromise to the blog.

While I was changing that I noticed that comments could be ordered differently. I switched it around so that now the most recent comments will be seen first and you won’t have to scroll down past comments you’ve already read. Hope you like that!

Thanks for being such faithful blog readers and sharing favorite posts by clicking on the Share This button and the Facebook Like buttons at the top of the posts. It’s great to know that the Cle Elum Seven could have new friends every day.

Also, while I’m at it – did you notice the new items in the online store? (look to the right under “featured item”.) 2011 Calendars and the Sanctuary Year Two books are now available!

Impersonation

October 28, 2010 by Diana

Jackie and Elizabeth are off to see Jane Goodall speak in Seattle and I’m here closing up, looking at some photos and videos from the last couple of days.

I did a double take when I saw this photo, taken through one of the picture windows, of Missy doing a very good impersonation of Negra:
