Sunny days are always great, specially after some days of non-stop rain. Today, the clouds scattered away and the rays of sunshine made an appearance. To say the least, everyone, including the caregivers were very happy to catch a break from the Pacific Northwest gloominess. If only there were away to turn OFF the wind!!! But regardless of the wind, the chimps in Jamie’s group went on countless walks around the hill and spent most of the day in their warm greenhouse. Cy and his friends also spent the day in their greenhouse and every so often you could walk by and someone would pop their heads off the edge of the platforms for a subtle “hello”. Willy B and his friends were very into the raisin boards they got for daytime enrichment, although it is very likely that Willy B got every single raisin.

Very nice pictures, Sofia. Dora looks adorable, it almost looks like a painting of her. We had a little sun in Seattle also but too much wind! I’m glad the wind didn’t deter the chimps in their patrols.
And Missy in the back, hanging by one arm like it ain’t no thang, until her bestie comes back in. Such a variety of pics, thanks, Sofía! You were all over the place today!
Dora looks like she has a thing or to to tell someone, though
Jamie (and everyone) has a new caregiver named Grace? And Garce goes on perimeter walks sporting sweet new boots?! Oh, do tell. When will we get to “meet” Grace? And when will we get to see her boots? 🙂
Each photo and story certainly brightened my day. Thanks Sofia, for sharing all this sunshine!
Those were my exact questions too Kathleen…..
I’m thinking volinteers and interns are back
volunteers
Sorry for the late response, Kathleen. Grace is our newest team member, she will introduce herself to all of you pretty soon 🙂
Wow! what a great slew of pictures. And yet another sweet photo of Honey B ?
I’m so happy you had some sunshine today. You deserve it!

CSNW is one happy constant, you know? Whether it’s a good day or a bad day, at the end of our day, we always have this blog. The writers, the photographers, the commenters, and of course the central cast of characters.
One happy constant.
That’s what I count on, Paulette!
Yes, this is so true Paulett!! And in the turmoil of the current news cycle, and the past two years, CSNW has proven to everyone that caring, kindnes, and compassion do make a difference–in more ways than one could ever begin to count. CSNW, hope, love, home, and life lessons! (and boots, trolls, magazines, and giant Kongs too!)
