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.

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?

    Lookin forward to Jamieween! And I see the Cowboy Boots book I sent her made it in time for her party – yay!

    Cy is devishly handsome! And his intelligence is so evident; just look at him studying his magazine. If I were a female chimp, I’d be swooning all over him! :heartbeat: :two_hearts: :heartpulse:

    There’s no denying Cy and Rayne are related – their postures are identical. Rayne has a sweetness in her eyes inviting you to be her friend. Getting my daily dose CSNW always puts a big smile on my face and fills my heart with love.

      Kim, I couldn’t agree with you more about Cy and Rayne! They are so sweet! The Blog is the first thing I read every morning because they all make me smile! I’m truly envious of the entire team! Have a great day!:grinning:

    Have your camera locked and loaded for the moment Jamie puts on the anatomy apron. That’s hysterical and hope we get to see a photo but something tells me the body parts will tossed aside and the apron might be worn as a scarf…with Jamie’s snazzy fashion sense, you never know. I am looking forward to BIG day!

    Cy is handsome. It is sweet seeing him cozy with Rayne, good to know he takes a break from his reading now and then to socialize. 🙂 Rayne has something about her, she is bright eyed and looks sweet and amiable. I adore her face.

    “Rayne is the absolute best! She is the type of person that when you see her she instantly warms your heart.” I couldn’t have said it better. Though I’ve never Rayne and her troopmates and neighbors in person, there is definitely something about her and them that exudes Goodness.
