Can you believe we’re already at Day Five of our Christmas countdown?! It’s hard to believe that Christmas Eve is this next weekend, even though our foyer is beginning to look like Santa visited early. 🙂 Thanks to everyone who has donated from our wish list! Click here if you want to check it out, there’s still items remaining that we need for the upcoming holiday weekend!
This morning when I went to say good morning to Jamie’s group, I was met with a very playful Burrito who still had the buffalo blanket from yesterday! He had it on his back while he ran across the front rooms to initiate a game of chase. Foxie, on the other hand, was waiting in the Front Rooms with her new Strawberry Shortcake doll. She handed it out to me before twirling away and coming back to take it. On the other side of the chimp house, the Dora Blanket is in the laundry process before being put back in for the 9 to enjoy again. How fun it is to see the chimps enjoying their presents- thank you so much to all those who participated in the Comfort & Joy online auction!
Today, we gave Negra and pals the *fabulous* Negra Blanket! This may be the best Negra blanket to ever exist in all of history. You may ask, how many Neggies is too many Neggies? And the answer is that it’s a trick question – there are never too many Neggies! The blanket features twelve photos of Negra living her best life, which often involves a huge nest and lots of soft blankets. 🙂 Check out the video for more!
Special thank you to:
(our very own) Chadwick de Bree for donating the Negra Blanket

That’s a great wrap-up, Grace! (yes, I did see what you did there :smile:)
It’s always good to hear Bubba laughing out loud, squishing his squishy squishmallow, and Foxie spinning away!
the Neggie blanket is neat……:heart_eyes:
Whoever made the Neggie blanket .. great job!
Chad! As if being crowned Burrito’s Best Bud hadn’t set you up for a special spot in my heart, you bid on and won the Neggie blanket. How thoughtful! CSNW caregivers go above and beyond in countless ways. Thank you all.
Can’t wait to see Negra sleeping under HER blankt someday. (And that blanket looks super cozy!)
I love to see Foxie spinning! Does anyone know whether any other chimp spins?
What fun! With all the festivities I must admit that Neggie under the blankets (and seeing HER blanket, of course) is always a heart-stopper for me. What a role model she is for the value and sheer joy of napping & restoring one’s energies by being cozy. And then there’s Gordo’s bunny-hopping that always makes me swoon. Thanks, Chad, for all you do!!!
