Terrible Photos of the Day

August 6, 2022 by Diana

I’ve been looking through photos from the previous year this past week, choosing the best of the best for the 2023 calendar. I know, I know, it’s a pretty nice assignment. Everyone who works here takes some really amazing photos!

The photos I took today are most definitely not calendar-worthy. That’s one of the nice things about the blog, though. We don’t have to have technically gorgeous photos or poetic prose every day to let you all in on the goings on of the sanctuary.

With that in mind, please enjoy these terrible photos of the day.

First up, 23-year-old office cat LouLou catching the morning sun:

Meredith literally going against the herd, as she often does:

Jamie post-breakfast:

Rayne was also in an accessorizing mood, but used a scarf for just a bit of cover while taking an afternoon nap:

Gordo doing his Gordo box-sitting thing:

Willy B eating a purple potato for lunch:

The BAF evaporative cooler is here!

It actually caused quite a stir when it was wheeled into the chimp area yesterday. For some reason, Gordo and Dora in particular were quite concerned about the dark monolith and alarm called loud and long enough for me to hear them from the house. They eventually calmed down and only gave it an occasional side glance and spit today.

BIG A** THANKS again to everyone who donated towards its purchase! (We humans need to study the manual before we can give you a full report).

Happy Birthday, Jill!

August 6, 2022 by Katelyn

Thank you so much, Connie Kinyon, for choosing to celebrate your daughter, Jill Kinyon, in such a lovely way!

“My daughter loves and supports the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, and I want to support her on her birthday!”

Happy Birthday, Jill! Your long-time friendship and support of the chimpanzees means so much and all of us here wish you the happiest of days!

I can’t think of many people I know who unabashedly celebrate every moment of their lives with such joy and commitment as your Chimpanzee Pal, beautiful Jody. May she inspire your new year ahead. May she inspire us all. <3

Jody and good friend, Foxie:
