Snoozin’

October 14, 2015 by Katelyn

On this quintessential autumn afternoon most of the chimpanzees are baking in sunny spots while Jamie is walking her caregivers ragged. It’s the most gorgeous day. As I walked up the stairs to the greenhouse it was so quiet and appeared empty so I didn’t expect to find anyone. But just as I rounded the corner I spotted someone on the top platform, where it’s warmest. It’s rare to come upon the chimps when they are sound asleep as they always seem to hear us coming so I was pleasantly surprised to find sweet Annie, fast asleep and hopefully dreaming of all good things. It didn’t take long for her chimp senses to kick in and wake up, but she took her time, enjoying the warm sun and afternoon breeze.

In other news, we are nearing the end of Great Apes Giving Day with a little less than 3 hours and 15 minutes to go!! As of this posting, thanks to our amazing supporters we have nearly reached our goal of $15,000 with an amazing $13,830!! For all of you who have contributed, thank you SO much!! As one of the smaller sanctuaries participating in this event, this will mean so much for our chimpanzee family. And if you’d still like to participate in support of Annie, Missy, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody and Negra, we’d so appreciate it. Every donation really does make a difference in their lives.

    Beautiful photos of Annie peacefully dreaming and snoozing’! How can she sleep when the rest of us are following the progress and all the excitement of the Great Apes Giving Day?! With 13 minutes left on the clock I can see your supporters and their friends exceeded your goal! CSNW, you are loved and deservingly so.

    I just adore the first picture, of Jamie sleeping quietly. You can just feel how heavy she must be lying in full relaxation on her bed… just like me every morning until my alarm rudely jolts me awake. It looks like this time Jamie got to awaken slowly and peacefully, peeking a bit more at a time until she figured that it’s okay, I’m still here in this beautiful home. I can face anything. How wonderful
