Tomatoes from the Garden

August 9, 2014 by Diana

Included among the vegetables currently ripening in the chimpanzees’ garden (thanks to volunteer Denice), are many cherry tomatoes:

This has not escaped the notice of one Missy Chimpanzee. The chimpanzees have a great view of the garden from all of the windows of the playroom. While many of the windows are bullet-proof glass, we do have some that have window caging over them, which allows us to open the window on the other side of the window cage for air flow. It also allows the chimps to climb on the caging. Here is Missy clinging to the window caging, gazing at the tomato plants:

Missy may be of the opinion that the windows open so that we can give her those tomatoes she has her eye on, and that’s fine with us – it’s fun and satisfying to be able to give the chimpanzees exactly what they are asking for. Today, volunteer caregiver Connie and staff member Debbie served Missy some tomatoes.

I can not emphasize enough how much Missy loves tomatoes:

Today is in honor of Beate Neher!

August 9, 2014 by Katelyn

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Birgit Neher in honor of her sister, Beate Neher! Birgit sent the following message about her sister:

“The day of sanctuary I chose is actually my sister’s, Beate’s, birthday. She is a wonderful person, very much involved in animal rescue here on the Big Island/Hawaii. She currently has 9 dogs, 4 goats, a sheep, two donkeys, a former milk cow and I can’t remember how many cats.”

Birgit, what a thoughtful and generous way to honor your sister, Beate! We are really touched that you would include the chimpanzees in your celebration of Beate’s special day. Beate, all of us here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest wish you Happy Birthday and hope you have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for all that you do for animals, it makes us happy to know you are out there helping so many beings.

Negra, enjoying the comforts and home, sanctuary, and her nest:
