Twas the Day Before…

December 24, 2012 by Diana

The chimpanzees are currently busy snacking on a giant tub full of snow in the greenhouse.

Meanwhile, volunteer caregivers Denice and Seana are busy preparing today’s lunch plus cooking up a storm for the feast tomorrow and wrapping presents delivered by the Ellensburg Santa.

Tomorrow is going to be a great party at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest! Thank you again for all who have contributed to the chimps’ happiness this week and for the last four and a half years!

    Burrito looks a bit mesmerized by all the bright snow, Foxie looks like she’s bobbing for snowballs, and Denice and Seana look like their keeping super busy trying to keep up with everything.

    Wishing everyone at the sanctuary a joyous Holiday Season and a smashing New Year!

    and THANK YOU ALL, for GIVING us ALL, such a wonderful view and a front row seat in to all the chimps lives. Even though many of us are several countries away, we feel like we are there . I genuinely appreciate these blogs, I have learn’t, and continue to learn so much about chimpanzees(that I otherwise wouldn’t of) I’ve come to know and CARE so much, about EACH individual chimp. The style and manner of this blog format, insires and motivates me to do all I can for other chimps who still live in reasearch labs, via Primate Patrol. Not only do you all take GREAT care of Annie,Burrito,Foxie,Jamie,Jody,Missy and Negra, but you also advocate for the remainder of chimps. who still need all our help.I must say, CSNW staff are true LEADERS.
    I thank you all so much, for being so generous with your knowledge, and expertise..

    Chimp Elves! I love it!

    Thank you for all of your hard work in making the Christmas experience so special for the Chimps. From the video, it looks like all was very well received!

    A gift to see it.

    Thank you!
