Ten Ways to Charm our Boss!

February 22, 2023 by Kelsi

The other day we were sharing tips on how to get on Jamie’s good side. Jamie can be a tough nut to crack sometimes, because of this, building a friendship with Jamie has been a true pleasure of mine.

Top 10 tips to help you make friends with Jamie:

1. Quality time- Jamie appreciates when you make time for her or show that you find her to be a priority.
2. Wear a good part of Jamie approved boots- Xtratufs, cowboy boots, Doc Martens, or something new she hasn’t seen yet!
3. Always be willing to find the item she is requesting- She always has something in particular she is looking for like a book, boot, person to wear said boot.
4. Go on as many walks with her as per her request- especially with the gator and her favorite book.
5. Don’t forget to drop everything if she wants you to play with her- remember she has a silly side.
6. Give her all of the pears and all of the leeks!
7. Make sure to sit and groom with her when she asks.
8. All of the food puzzles are hers ;).
9. Make sure she has an endless supply of snow or drinks from the hose when cleaning.
10. Before you leave for the night make sure she has her favorite boot and book.

Of course there are so many more ways to please Jamie, but these are just a few that seem to bring her happiness.

So please enjoy the Sounds of Sanctuary 2023!

Keep the Love Going: Fall in Love with Lucky!

February 19, 2023 by Grace

Today, we are featuring sweet Lucky!

Lucky was born on November 6th, 1991 and is the youngest chimp we have here at CSNW. She is a full sibling to her groups alpha, Cy, and half-sibling to group mates Honey B and Rayne. She can be considered aloof, but has really come out of her shell lately and we are enjoying every moment we have with her!

Keep the Love Going: Fall in Love with Gordo!

February 17, 2023 by Jenna

Today, we are continuing on with our Fall in Love videos and highlighting the one and only, Gordo! He is truly one of a kind. I think I can speak for all of us caregivers when I say, we wouldn’t voluntary suffocate in the Troll Mask for anyone else. Gordo absolutely loves playing chase with a caregiver who is wearing the Troll Mask. Check out the video above to see said Troll Mask and to learn more about Gordo!

If you’re interested in sponsoring Gordo, you can become his Chimpanzee Pal today!
