Photographs of the Day

January 31, 2021 by Anthony

Saturday is the end of the week for some of the staff, while others return from their weekend on Sunday. I’m in the latter group.

As the person responsible for the blog on Sundays (the beginning of my work week), I often gravitate towards whatever topics have been touched on in the previous day’s blog. It isn’t always intentional, but I do notice that it naturally happens more often than not. Hopefully, all of you blog followers don’t mind getting two related posts in just as many days.

Yesterday, Diana shared “Video Clips of the Day“, a fantastic blog entry that consisted of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Therefore, of course, I’m giving you all “Photographs of the Day”, which is essentially the same concept but with still images instead of filmed content.

Just like the clips in yesterday’s video, the pictures aren’t all from today. However, you may be assured to know that some of these photos are from this dreary winter day, while the rest are quite recent. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this evening’s post and have a great week!

Happy Birthday, Meg!

January 31, 2021 by Katelyn

Many thanks to Meg Lunnum, good friend of the sanctuary and those who call it their home, for sharing her special day with us all!

“I am celebrating my birthday again with all the beings at Chimpanzee Northwest, two and four legged. I have been lucky enough to watch the sanctuary get bigger, add more chimps and introduce the bovines! I can’t wait for the next round of introductions to the new chimps and all the new spaces. Thank you for making each day a delight with the blogs!”

Happiest of days to you, Meg! May your day be full of joy, wonder and love. We so appreciate your years of friendship and support.

Burrito:

Negra!
