A Path Out

January 23, 2024 by Chad de Bree

We finally have a decent break from the snow and subfreezing temperatures. Though there are some more winter storms in the forecast, at least most days are going to be fairly mild in regard to temperature. In fact, for the first time in a long time, the sun has broken through the clouds to grace us with it’s warm presence. With the sun out, it was too good of an opportunity not to try to give Annie’s group Young’s Hill. After some light shoveling, a path to Young’s Hill was forged.

I must apologize, however. As I watched the pileup at the door that leads to Young’s Hill was opening, I realized I had forgotten the camera and my phone. I guess it boils down to I was too plum excited to see the color contrast of chimp and snow.

Even with access to get their own snow, sometimes having the snow brought to you is the best. At least that seemed to be Jamie’s preference, with the addition of icicles and black cherry Stur water enhancers.

Missy also had joined Jamie in snow and icicles.

A special day of sanctuary, from Donna!

January 23, 2024 by Katelyn

Sending out our heartfelt thanks to Donna Hughes for sponsoring this special day of sanctuary in celebration and memory of the beautiful and the bittersweet, both of which we so often find in life, are held, glittering, in the same breath.

“I would like to sponsor a day to honor all of the chimpanzees and cattle who are lucky enough to reside at CSNW. Shout out to you, Foxie One! This sponsor day is bittersweet for me, as it was my shared birthday with Doreen. To honor the chimps and the cattle on this day, makes me feel better!!! I know it is Doreen-Approved!! Have a great day, Everyone!!!”

Donna, we are all thinking of you and remembering Doreen today and so grateful to have you both as part of the chimpanzees’ and bovines’ extended family. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us and we hope that it’s filled with some Doreen (and Foxie!) kinda magic. Happy Birthday to you both!
