I know what you’re thinking….more Burrito?!?!? Haven’t we had enough already? What is this, his third video in a week?
It’s true, he’s been a bit of a blog hog this week, but we didn’t think that should stop us from sharing this video with you.

A Game with Burrito
For Burrito, tug of war is a full-body workout.
Pineapple!
Fresh pineapple is a real crowd pleaser!
Happy Birthday, Brendan!
Michele McLaughlin sponsored this day of sanctuary for Brendan Sommers on his 11th birthday because he loves the chimpanzees here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest!
Michele, what a wonderful gift for Brendan and the chimpanzees! Thank you for bringing compassion and generosity to all their lives.
Brendan! 11, wow!! Thank you for caring about the chimps and sharing your special day with them! They are lucky to have you as a friend. All of the great apes here at CSNW, humans and chimps alike, hope you have the happiest of birthdays!
Good friends, Burrito and Foxie, forever young at heart:
Sounds of spring
The noises that accompany springtime have started to return to the sanctuary. This morning Negra was on high alert, alarm calling at the sound of a raucous bird making noise to the east side of the sanctuary.
Jody is always good for a reassuring hug, this is her concerned face as she rushed up to her good friend Negra:
Most of the other chimps delegated themselves to lookout duty. Here’s Missy:
Once the coast was clear, morning exploration could recommence! Missy(left) and Annie (right):

In memory of Simba
Today was sponsored by Lynda Bell in memory of her beloved cat, Simba. Lynda shared this lovely message about Simba with us:
“This is in memory of Simba, my 18-yr. old cat who passed away in January. Today was his birthday. I got him 17 years ago from the Oregon Humane Society. He was the most gentle cat ever. He loved people and other animals and got along well with all. I love the idea of the Chimpanzee Sanctuary and am very happy to sponsor a day for the chimps. I hope to come visit the sanctuary when it is possible in the summer! Thank you for all that you do for these wonderful chimps!”
Lynda, we are so sorry for the loss of your dear friend and family member, Simba. It sounds as though you gained an immeasurable amount of love and life from your time together. Thank you so much for choosing to rescue one of so many who need their forever homes and sharing all that a rescue animal can bring to our lives. We’re so glad you found each other. We are grateful to you for sharing Simba’s life and your compassion with us and the chimps.

Climbing Higher
I had a lot of thoughts as I was watching Missy climbing on top of the roof of the tower structure today while I was also enjoying the gorgeousness of the day, so I made this video.
