I didn’t have anything that I felt could be a stand-alone video, so I decided to throw together a bunch of clips taken as we were going about the day today (ok, one was from yesterday). I hope you enjoy it!

tom austin says
still no clipping clips………………………
Laura B says
Just curious, do thoughts of Jamie factor in when you guys shop for footwear? BTW, great videos, as always. I always feel like we’re getting new, photos, videos, updates, etc. from dear (and highly entertaining) friends when we check out the CSNW blogs. Thanks tons!!!
Diana says
Absolutely we think of Jamie when shoe shopping! “Hmmm – will Jamie like these?”
marianne says
Well done, those are very yellow-hot boots and most important: Jamie likes…..
Mary Garripoli says
Yes! I agree completely.
tom austin says
now they do……………
Tobin says
I am very relieved to see that snow has re-emerged to cover Young’s Hill. I trust that Burrito is able to indulge in the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.
By the way, where is Negra? I haven’t seen her for awhile, and I am getting concerned. The residents of the sanctuary are always on my mind, and heart.
Diana says
Everyone has been eating lots of snow these last few days, yes! Actually Negra in particular has been eating quite a lot – at least the snow that’s dished out for her in the sandbox in the playroom. She’s doing great.
Tobin says
Thank you, Diana, for the update. While I am not quite sure how snow would quite fit into one of the Queen’s beloved nightbags, I am relieved to know that Her Majesty is in good stead.

What an excellent idea! Such a fun way to see the day unfold. We could call this “Happy Feet”. I love the way you all stomp your feet and fun follows.
I’ll do my best not to judge Foxie either. But, it is interesting that she gathered the naughty dolls and brought them to the special interrogation room. Oh Foxie……
Diana says
When I was editing this, it made me realize how much stomping we do. 🙂
Those dolls better start behaving themselves…
marianne says
Well, a good oldfashioned spanking obviously is needed every now and then…..but as you said Diana; we don’t judge…..
Hilarious!
Gloria says
These videos make my heart ? so happy ? ? Thank you to all for your awesome work ?
Linda C says
I adore this one, Diana! It’s about nothing and everything, all at the same time!
Anna, I love how you turn it into a workout (donkey kicks for the hamstring,…). I think Annie would have been overjoyed if you had done that barefoot!
Oh, my strange little Foxie pal!
Is Nutmeg in isolation?
Diana says
It’s the blog about nothing! Nutmeg was isolated just for a bit. We are getting them used to the experience so it’s hopefully easier and not a source of too much anxiety when we do have to treat them for routine medical check-ups, hoof trimmings, etc, or for unexpected ailments. Betsy had already had her turn in the chute, so she knew where the good hay was!
Linda C says
That makes sense, now, Diana, thanks!
And I gave to add, the Missy-Annie/Annie-Missy way of playing in the windowsill seems much more sensible. Funny that it’s always “that” window, not the other one!
Linda C says
Ha.watching it again, I realize that they ARE in the other window!
Edie Bruce says
What a fun compilation! I especially love Foxie with her dolls, it made me giggle. Who knows what she is thinking, there….Great to see them all doing many things.
Elaine Reininger says
Loved this blog. Loved the written comments. I was at one point feeling such a love for Foxie tenderly patting her dollie and then a short time later comes the spanking. Wow, that was quite a change. Wonder why she did that??? Guess we’ll never know.
Mary Garripoli says
This video compilation was terrific! The chimps are engaging and the caregivers obviously love them. Thanks for letting us be part of their day.
Kathleen says
Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed Burrito playing with his monkey friend. That little clip is so sweet, especially when Mr. B comes in close to look at himself in your iPhone. And his bat imitation at the very end is pretty funny. I just love this boy.
Just think, some people sit behind a desk all day, staring at a computer screen, never moving, never even being able to look out a window, but you get to run, and climb, and groom, and play, and run some more between all of your other work duties. Hope you get lots of professional applicants for this crazy serious fun position!
Linda C says
That would definitely make up for all of the cleaning and lugging bales of hay
Linda C says
That makes sense, now, Diana, thanks!

Arlene and Michael says
Ah what a weekend at CSNW. Thank you for sharing these happy clips. A great reminder to take time out for fun every day. Love all the beautiful faces.
