Fast, Just like Missy!

December 2, 2020 by Kelsi

What better timing that yesterday’s blog was all about how fast Missy is and today’s blog is all about how fast Honey B is. I am not sure anyone is as fast as Missy, but that might be a trait Missy gave to her daughter Honey B! Unlike her mom who is more of a chimp’s chimp, Honey B likes to seek out her caregiver’s attention if it is an option, though she does enjoy spending time with Mave and Willy B too! Honey B is a very creative person. She loves making up silly games and she always has us laughing! One of her favorite games might be where she has a caregiver chase her, then she sprints out into the chute, and busts back through the door at a full sprint! I was only able to catch a short moment of Honey B playing this game, but I assure you all it went much longer (Willy B slept through all of it)! Sometimes she even likes to sprint up into the mezzanine, run around upstairs, swing on the bars, climb down the ladder downstairs, sprint out through the chute, and then of course repeat! After Honey B has burned off a small amount of energy, she usually appreciates it if you sit with her. This is where she would enthusiastically groom the person she is with or simply stare into your eyes and relish your company. Honey B really just likes spending quality time with her people, human or non-human.

It’s now time for Honey B to get her beauty sleep!

Happy Birthday, Eric!

December 2, 2020 by Katelyn

Eric Dodge, a long-time friend of the original seven chimpanzees, sponsored a day of sanctuary for them and all their animal neighbors! It also happens to be one of the ways in which Eric chose to celebrate his birthday and he shared this really lovely message about his gift:

“In honor of all the animal residents of the sanctuary. To honor how much our animal companions, be they pets, livestock, chimps or any other wild animal in residence at CSNW teach us. Not only about them, but about ourselves and humanity. It’s my birthday also.”

Eric, thank you for continuing to hold the chimpanzees in your heart and for making a difference in their lives in celebration of your own special day. All of us here wish you the happiest of days! Happy Birthday!

Running Toward The Future

December 1, 2020 by Chad de Bree

Before I get into the happenings of today, there was some BIG news announced today in our newsletter and social media sites (here is the Instagram post). Today, we announced the names of the group of six who will hopefully be able to call Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest home next year! We are all beyond excited to meet Cy, Lucky, Rayne, Terry, Dora, and Gordo! We are also truly grateful to all of you, the followers of this sanctuary, who have donated and spread the word about us on Giving Tuesday! All of your donations will help us continue to complete our expansion as quickly as possible so they can arrive next year! We all know this year has not been the easiest on anybody, but your constant generosity not only helps us provide care for our current residents, but also plan to bring more home! So thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU!

Lately, both Jamie and Burrito have been inviting caregivers to races around Young’s Hill. Some of you already know, Missy is not one to pass up a good run around Young’s Hill. Sometimes she just seemingly appears out of nowhere and passes you within a blink of an eye!

I am truly convinced she waits for everybody to leave first, so she can catch up! I found her today waiting at the bottom of the hill as Burrito and J.B. raced around.

She even found a place to stake out where on the hill Burrito and J.B. were.

And like a bolt of lightening, she was off! (Long before I could bring the camera up and realize she was gone!)

Missy even likes to take her lunch on the go!

Missy is known to have two speeds: 0 and 100. When she isn’t a chimpanzee pinball, darting and bouncing around Young’s Hill, she likes to take in the sights and sounds usually from the tallest structures.

Missy is amazing and we couldn’t imagine a life without her here!

BONUS PHOTOS:

Here are a couple extra photos of some other adventures today.

After breakfast, Negra was one of the first people to go out onto Young’s Hill, even before Jamie!

After she had her moment of basking in the morning sun, it was back to her nest.

Foxie decided today called for not one, but TWO dolls!

And Burrito pondering if this outing on Young’s Hill will be a race or stroll. (Luckily for this human, this time was just a stroll!)

Happy Birthday, Tom!

December 1, 2020 by Katelyn

Lisa English sponsored this day of sanctuary in honor of her husband, Tom English!: “Heppy bortday to *the* Beefy Dr Tom! All our love, Helga, the harem, and the thousands of dogs whose lives you’ve saved.”

Lisa, thank you for thinking of the chimpanzees and adding to the lives of even more animals as you celebrate Tom today!

Happy Birthday from all of us here at the sanctuary, Tom, we hope it’s the best one yet!

Mave!
