Happy Birthday, Nancy!

by

Many thanks to Jo Brodahl for so kindly sponsoring a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and Nancy!

“Happy Birthday to my friend Nancy D. May your day be spent swaggering like Dora, scooting like Lucky and hopping like Gordo while playing like Honey B and Rayne!! Pant-hoots to you.”

For anyone who missed the aforementioned “swaggering, scooting, hopping and playing”, or if you just need to watch it for the 99th time like all of us, click here to revisit Mave’s amazing birthday celebration!

Happy happy day to you, Nancy! We hope it’s been the best one yet!

She’s Back… Again?

This morning Negra was reunited with her group! Everyone was so excited to welcome her back. Jody, Missy, and Foxie gave her warm greetings and immediately went to check out how she was healing! Negra was able to spend the morning sitting out on Young’s Hill and napping in her favorite spot in the green house. Unfortunately, in the early afternoon between the chimp nurses and Burrito displaying and scaring Negra, some of her external sutures were not holding up too well. We decided to isolate her again until Dr. Erin could come take a look. So Negra spent the afternoon watching Lord of the Dance, nesting, and having her caregivers dance for her as well ;).

Negra finally back on the Hill this morning:
