A Plum Day

January 31, 2023 by Chad de Bree

Today started off as any other. Caregivers arrived, served breakfast, and began their tasks of cleaning of the day prior. When the door leading to Young’s Hill opened, the members of Jody’s group were eager to set off on their morning adventures.

Burrito, of course, wanted to take his morning run. Cold doesn’t seem to bother him one bit when it comes to his morning exercise. Between his sprints, he would take a break and seem to just take it all in.

As we were nearing the top, I caught something out of place in my peripheral vision. Something that stood out like a sore thumb amongst the brown and yellow foliage of winter.

This purple-haired figure on top of a moving black mass could only be one thing…

It’s Plum Pudding hitching a ride on Foxie!

After reaching the top of the hill, Foxie and Plum Pudding headed back to the Chimp House…

But not before a little thrilling adventure!

Plum Pudding ended up in a perilous predicament!

And only Foxie could save her!

This rescue was so dramatic, Jamie had to be a bystander to witness it all unfold!

But nonetheless, Foxie would not give up on her Puddin’! She was able to rescue her and whisk her back to safety!

Happy Birthday, Meg!

January 31, 2023 by Katelyn

Heartfelt thanks to long-time friend of the sanctuary, Meg Lunnun, for sponsoring a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and bovines and humans in celebration of your birthday! And we will happily take your wishes for a sunny day, at least in spirit. 🙂 We are so grateful for all who help keep all our lives and hearts light and joyful in so many ways.

Happy Birthday, from all of us, Meg! We hope your special day is a magical one!
