Giving Choices, Giving Thanks, Giving Day for Apes

October 13, 2020 by Chad de Bree

Before we get into the bulk of the blog, lets play a game shall we?

She loves to be in forts, and can build her own quite well, though maybe not as well as some of her group mates. She loves to lay on her back and grasp her feet together in the air. Who is in the fort? Answer is at the end of the blog.

While you ponder who could possibly be in a fort, let’s get into today.

Thank you so much those who could donate for Giving Day for Apes so far! We are not quite at our goal but there is still time to donate. The fundraiser ends at 9pm PST/12am EST. But either way we want to send our sincerest thank you to those who have donated and continue to support us past, present, and beyond! Because of you, you have helped us try to provide the best lives we possibly could for Annie, Burrito, Foxie, Honey B, Jamie, Jody, Mave, Missy, Negra, and Willy B!

One of the things you have helped us provide is choice.

The choice to choose which doll will be the Doll Du Jour.

Today, Foxie choose Dora as her companion.

The choice to nap on a rainy day.

Annie spent most of the day napping. Doesn’t she seem so sweet napping?
Jamie too choose to spent most of the day underneath a blanket in the Greenhouse.
As did Negra!

The choice to either eat inside or outside.

Jody decided to eat her breakfast inside the Front Rooms while the rest of the group ate in the Greenhouse.

The choice to go outside.

Though it rained most of the day, we still gave Willy B the option to enjoy the Courtyard, which he did!

The choice to play with friends…

Mave and Honey B spent the most of the day playing together.

Or the choice to have a quiet grooming session.

Jody and Missy groom Burrito in the Greenhouse. (I’m sorry everybody! I tried to include everybody today, but this was the best I could get of Missy! I’m so sorry!)

And the choice to make the caregivers go on a run around Young’s Hill…

Burrito made caregivers join him go around Young’s Hill multiple times today!

And then play with them upon return.

He stopped for two seconds to allow me to get this photo, before it turned back in to a blur of fur.

With all the generosity throughout the years during events such as Giving Day for Apes, you have helped us provide them with one of the most precious things in life: Choice! So thank you!

And drum roll please!

The answer to who was in the fort…..

MAVE!

Thank you for playing!

And as a bonus:

Right as we were serving dinner, I was indeed able to get a proper photo of Missy!

The choice to enjoy a baked sweet potato!
