Safe and sound

December 1, 2017 by J.B.

We give out over 70 fleece blankets each day so that the chimps can sleep in clean, comfortable nests. Night nests are usually built up off the ground on the catwalks in the playroom or on benches in the smaller front rooms. Sometimes the chimps sleep near each other, other times they seek privacy.

Annie often gathers blankets from the playroom and front rooms to build her nest on a front room bench. Its takes a lot of work to get the nest just right.

    Good night moon.

    This was so beautiful. I couldn’t help but think of wild chimps high up in their tree tops, bending branches to build their perfect night time nests. Seeing Annie gather her armfuls of blankets and climb up to her safe night time nesting place brought tears to my eyes. I am thankful they are all safe and sound. But that’s what sanctuary is all about. Good night you sweet princes and princesses……

    The armful of blankets being carried off and the cricket sound effects were both precious Wonderful post — the kind you watch more than just once. Loved the fast motion during the building of the nest too. Thanks Mr. Director JB

    “To sleep, perchance to dream…” I wish them all enjoyable visits to the land of dreams.
