Chilly Days

October 10, 2021 by Sam Jones

October is flying by! I still feel like just the other day it was 100 plus degrees outside and now it’s cold in the mornings! Today it didn’t seem to warm up in the afternoon and most everyone (humans included) spent as much time as they could inside. Lots of naps were taken, Burrito played, and Cy read some magazines. It feels like winter is right around the corner! At least with the way October is moving Jamieween will be here before we know it! I’ve heard a lots about this fun day and I’m ready for it.

As a reminder don’t forget this week coming up, Tuesday October 12th, is Giving Day for Apes! The donation window has already opened up, but on the 12th lots of things will be happening throughout the day. There’s lots of prizes that the participating sanctuaries and rescue centers can win so make sure to stay tuned! If you want to read more about Giving Day for Apes you can here.

We also have our own fundraising page here.

Enjoy some photos from the day.

Jody resting after breakfast in the front rooms.

The cold didn’t hold back Burrito today! I always say I wish I had the kind of energy that he does. Even first thing in the morning he’s ready to go!

Burrito in a tub!

Jamie keeping an eye on the neighbors.

Lucky making good use of the oversized comfy wolf blanket.

Cy resting while we clean.

Rayne joined the bench party. Left to right: Cy, Lucky, and Rayne.

Cy’s morning rest didn’t last long. He had some celebrity gossip to catch up on.

    the SouthernCal 6 may not have experienced any winters before….don’t remember how long they were in Waystation, but I know it was a lenthy period of time……and, IT DON’T SNOW IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA…..i expect they will find it interesting……

    After all he has been through, what could be better news than hearing Burrito is ready go first thing every morning? And what’s cuter than Burrito in his tub? …….Cy reading his gossip magazines runs a pretty close second. Thanks for todays photos.

    I would so love to be in Cy’s head when he’s deep into a magazine.

    Cy could get a PhD in celebrity gossip by now! He’s so well read. When the word ‘play’ is mentioned, we just know that Burrito will be front and centre….bless his big goofy heart. I wonder if the Lucky Six will enjoy snow treats like the others……we’ll soon find out.
