Let the Countdown Begin!

October 20, 2021 by Kelsi

Eleven more sleeps until Jamieween. Though this blog isn’t really about Jamie, the Jamieween countdown has begun! As many of you may know or even agree, Jamieween is known as a staff and volunteer favorite for chimp celebrations! Not only do we get to celebrate Jamie and all her amazing-ness, but there is always an amusing pumpkin heist too! Not to mention Halloween is some of the staff’s favorite holiday. The gifts for Jamieween have been rolling in and we could not be more grateful. This is just a handful of items for Jamie’s haunting celebration! Personally, I can’t wait for Jamie to get her anatomy apron.

I don’t have much content for today because it was rather uneventful and eerily quiet today. So quiet that I had to check and make sure there were chimps in the building! But I do have lots of photos of Cy and Rayne.

I mean come on! How handsome is he?

Rayne and Cy sharing a bench.

Rayne is the absolute best! She is the type of person that when you see her she instantly warms your heart.

Rayne enjoying some rose hips.

I have a few extra photos to share with you all, as well.

Same bench, same sitting position, can you tell these two are related?

Happy Birthday, Trish!

October 20, 2021 by Katelyn

Many thanks to Elise Gruber for the beautiful gift of sponsoring a day of celebration in honor of her mother, Trish Swain, on her birthday! Trish shared these lovely words:

“I have followed the blogs and even the archives going back to 2007 when you were preparing for the Cle Elum 7. The blogs are so generous, allowing us to experience your world of dedication, caring, knowledge and fun. They have certainly enriched my life. For my 80th birthday, it’s a great joy to dedicate a day to all of you at CSNW.”

Happy Birthday, Trish! We’re so happy to get to celebrate with you! Thank you for your kind words, your loving heart for the chimpanzees, and all animals, and the difference you make in their lives.
