Blissful Sunday

by

It was another really nice day outside and most of the chimpanzees in Burrito’s group were out on Young’s Hill all morning. This warmer weather has the chimpanzees and humans all in great moods! Burrito was back to having Chad run around the hill, while Jamie raced Katelyn who was driving the Gator. Also, Burrito was very determined to get some ice out of the tire this morning and spent a long time working on it.

Success!

Annie was all over Young’s Hill. Every time I looked she was in a different spot.

Missy in front and Annie walking behind her.

Foxie made her way to Jamie’s tower.

On the other side everyone was hanging out in their warm Greenhouses for the afternoon.

Gordo was watching a grooming party going on above him.

And snacking on some bamboo.

Honey B needed a rest after a long game of chase!

Earlier today Cy was relaxing after breakfast.

Gordo too!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Meg!

Many thanks to Cynthia Cavalle for sponsoring a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in honor of your daughter, Meg! This is such a lovely message:

“Happy Birthday to my generous and compassionate daughter, Meg Casey, whose heart is full of love for all animals. Your volunteer work is tireless—collecting and distributing donated pet food, cleaning up public areas and continued advocacy for animal rights. Your work as a high school teacher and tutor reflects your creativity and respect for students. You help them to recognize their strengths and how to create goals for individual success. I know you like simple celebrations and a day of bird watching in Skagit Valley will be a happy one for you! Of course the day will end, as usual, with sharing the daily blog where we’re sure to get laughs, maybe some tears and always a smile from the amazing chimps! Thank you, Meg, for sharing your love, your support and your new ideas and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Love you! Mom”

Happy Birthday, Meg! We’re so happy the chimps can share in the celebration of your special day with you! While the chimps lift all our hearts, it can’t go without saying that hearing of all the good that humans like yourself are sharing with others lifts our hearts immensely as well.

Wishing a beautiful day to you both, Meg and Cynthia!
