…chimp-mas?! I was delighted this morning to walk in and see the chimps’ tree all decorated. What could be more perfect than a tree with cowboy boot ornaments (for Jamie – thanks Karen!), troll dolls for Foxie, beads for Annie and Burrito, and a special ornament for each sanctuary resident? Of course the tree topper is a troll too!
Oh, I know what Foxie might think is better than the tree! A troll stocking!
And then there’s the shed packed FULL of goodies waiting to be wrapped for the big day!
Of course there’s more. Like the boatload of Amazon gift orders we’ve received and keep on coming. And the steady flow of donations from people joining the Team Chimp contest (Negra’s winning!) and just supporting our work in general.
Once again, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for all the people who make the lives of the Cle Elum Seven so special. That means you! Thank you thank you thank you.
That’s one special chimp-mas tree, and it sounds like the kids were all on Santa’s “nice” list this year. I’m looking forward to the Christmas party post. How exciting for all!!
Lovely tree to honour all the chimps likes. I too look forward to the Chirstmas party post,pics and videos, I love watching all the chimps open their gifts. I wait in anticipation to see Burrito again this year., hanging around the Christmas tree. The CSNW Chimpmas tree that just keeps on giving,and giving,.
None of us give as much as you the Cle Elum 6 do. We thank you for your dedication, commitment and love that you give these people humans have taken such advantage of in the past. God will certainly bless you all! You are a special group of angels He has put here on this earth to heal the wounds visited upon the “7.” You have also touched so many of we bi-peds and warmed our hearts more than you know.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2013! You deserve only the best happenings in your lives.

Go Team Negra…though we love all the chimps so they are all winnders in our eyes.

That is just the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. I love checking this blog for updates on all the cute enrichments that you do for the chimps. I hope they have a great Christmas! Lots of love from Sleepy Hollow, NY !
