Not Your Typical Monday

February 4, 2019 by Kelsi

Today was not your typical Chimp House day. I had to do some door maintenance, which meant the chimps could only have access to certain areas at a time. Let’s just say that they (Jamie) were not the happiest about their schedule being off. Jamie kept herself busy surveying mostly me but also anyone else who stepped out of line, I mean isn’t that her job! However, we have amazing volunteers here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest who busted their behinds to clean the enclosures fast so the chimps could go back to their normal routine! And don’t worry we also made sure these chimps were preoccupied with lots of enrichment! Once the chimps received access to all of their enclosures they spent their snowy day nesting and grooming, especially Jamie – she was wiped!

Jamie insisted on getting her magazine back from the playroom to pick up where she left off:

In celebration of Bill aka “Twister”

February 4, 2019 by Katelyn

We have a double day of sanctuary! Nicki Walters sponsored today in memory of her beloved husband, Bill Walters (aka Twister), on his birthday. Bill and Nicki and their family and friends have been incredible friends to the chimpanzees over the years and we’re touched to have the chimpanzees included in celebrating the special person Bill was. Learn more about Bill and his legacy of love here.

Nicki shared this beautiful message:

“Happy Birthday to Bill Walters, who we lost far too soon but his spirit will live on in many ways, one of the biggest being through the Twister. Seeing the Chimps climbing and playing on this structure fills the hole he left in my soul. He loved them in life and now his memory adds to their lives. I am so thankful to everyone at the sanctuary for the wonderful life they give these wonderful beings and the beautiful way in which they share them with us every day through their blog. It has provided me many much needed smiles over the years.”

Nicki, we’re so grateful to you, Bill, and your loved ones for the incredible joy, adventure and opportunities for courage that you have provided the chimpanzees over the years. We are all holding you in our thoughts and hearts.

Happy Birthday, Sherry!

February 4, 2019 by Katelyn

A lovely friend of the sanctuary, Sherry Berman, sponsored today with this special message:

“I finished the book, “The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary” and stumbled upon CSNW. I had 3 surgeries and was house bound for 1.5 years. Seeing the fab 7 daily was one of the highlights of my long days. It has been years now and I do not miss a day of following the 7, especially my lovie, Mr. B. So happy to be able to support the chimps and the humans that take care of them. So, I want to share my birthday with Annie, Missy, Foxie, Negra, Jody, Jamie and Burrito. Love to the chimps and the humans who care for them.” 

Happy Birthday, Sherry! Thank you so much for sharing your joy with the chimpanzees, and us all! A beautiful full circle. All of us here are wishing you the most wonderful day of with all that you most love (in which case, Burrito probably hopes there is a lot of food involved). 🙂
