Willy B in the Recovery Room

by

As Grace blogged about yesterday, Willy B took a trip to the clinic yesterday to get some stitches in his right nostril. He has recovered pretty quickly from the anesthesia but will still need to spend a few days apart from his group in order to let his injury heal.

Today he got a visit from his friends through the window between the front rooms and the Lupine Playroom. They were thrilled to get a good look at him and make sure he was doing well.

The busyness of daily care and planning for Hoot! continues here at the sanctuary so please forgive this short little update!

Today is for Patti Sims!

by

Elodie Hagberg sponsored a day to honor her friend Patti Sims on her birthday today.

Most people honored on sponsor-a-day posts are somewhat unknown to us, but that’s not the case with Patti.

Patti has contributed to the hope, love, and home at sanctuary over the last several years as a very hardworking volunteer, doing everything from scrubbing the floors to serving on the HOOT! events committee. We are so grateful for all of her work helping the chimpanzees in many different ways, even through the pandemic. We are so pleased to be able to honor her, thanks to Elodie!

If I can get organized, Patti will be spending part of her birthday helping me get packed for tomorrow’s in-person HOOT! event!

I know Patti would want me to remind you all to get your bids in before the online portion of the auction ends TODAY (Thursday) at 7pm PT / 10pm ET. Throw a few more dollars towards your bids or donations in honor of Patti today, and check out the in-person items to place an absentee bid now.
