As many blog followers may know, Negra’s toe was injured during a fight about a month ago. After monitoring the injury closely, we knew we had to perform a minor surgery to help it heal properly. I’ve been gone for a few weeks (one week vacation, one week out sick), so it’s been a little while since I’ve seen the Queen of the sanctuary. I’m happy to report that she’s all rested up and she’s recovered back into the fiery (maybe a little bit demanding) chimpanzee we all know and love! As an added bonus, her blood work (done during her procedure) just came back and everything looks normal.

Happy Birthday, Meg!
A special day of sanctuary was sponsored for the non-human and human primates at Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW today by our dear friend, Meg Lunnum! Meg shared this message about today:
“Since I am having a milestone birthday today, I wanted to share it with all the primates at Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW. Each one of them contributes so much to making everyday a happy day!! Thank you!!”
Meg, thank you so much! We are really touched that you would so generously include all of us in your special day and we’re so excited to be celebrating with you! We are grateful for your compassion and dedication in sharing with others the value of our fellow animals and the importance of protecting them, especially our chimpanzee and bat friends. (Yes, bats! Learn more about our Pacific Northwest bat populations and how to protect them through the non-profit, Bats Northwest).
We hope you have the happiest of birthdays yet, Meg! Hoots from the chimps and hugs from the humans and many wishes for a day filled with love, joy, and good stuff to eat! Happy Birthday!!
