If you’ve been following the blog, you know that we are in the process of re-introductions for Cy’s group (you can read more about the re-intro process here: Rayne Joins the Men, Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself, and The Matchmaker). Cy, Willy B, and Rayne met the different benchmarks that we are looking for, so today Lucky joined them. They all seemed happy to have Lucky in their little group, especially Rayne!
The re-intro process means a change to our normal shifting schedule, as we shift the two groups on their side of the building around to clean the different spaces. The logistics are a bit different each day and this morning Lucky got to have some time by herself to allow for her caregivers to clean some spaces before she was reunited with Cy, Willy, and Rayne. She often hangs back from shifting to hang out by herself and today she seemed to really enjoy the time away. She made a comfortable nest and seemed to enjoy having some photos taken! 🙂 I couldn’t pick just one or two, so I thought I’d share many.
Don’t forget that our Comfort & Joy Quid Pro Throw Online Auction is in full-swing! Speaking of Lucky, she is featured in our auction on a Porcelain Ornament and also on a scarf for you and for the chimps! Be sure to check them out to see some amazing artwork from Thyra Rutter from Arte for Elephants and get in on the bidding action.
You can show me all the pictures of Lucky that you want because I think she is just the prettiest chimp I’ve ever seen!
Lucky has such a beautiful, sweet face. I am happy the re-introductions are going well. Bravo to the chimps and staff involved.
Those pictures are awesome!!! Having been a volunteer with the chimps at the Waystation, I am so happy that they are being treated so lovingly! I miss them!!
Beautiful Lucky Lou!
I am in love with that blanket with Annie in flowers! And I WILL be jealous of whomever wins the day at the sanctuary! Hope you do it again in the future!
Such beautiful pictures of Lucky. Speaking of Lucky, I was fortunate enough at one of the last auctions to be the high bidder on an original painting of Lucky by the wonderful artist, Cheryl Feng. I now have 3 lovely women adorning my wall, Lucky, Jody and Mave. I have to admit I would love to have the painting of Burrito to join them. I’m happy that the re-introductions are working well. I’m enjoying the Comfort and Joy auction, I better get back to it.
Very sweet learning that Lucky enjoys a little pre-shift private time. I look forward to hearing how Lucky settles in with the new-old-group. Hope the Alpha Boys are ready for another independent woman.
Thank you for sharing all these photos of Lucky. Just look at that sweet face of hers! Simply lovely.
Good luck with your bids. Nancy. I have to go see where i was outbid again, but all for a great cause.
Nice to have a blog about Lucky, I feel like I know her the least.
Beautiful Lucky! She looks so composed and relaxed in her comfy nest.
To paraphrase and mangle a quote from The Lord o’ da Rings, “The world is in a terrible condition, but there is still beauty in it…such as Lucky.”
I wish her a belated happy birthday.
Time to ones self is so comforting. You can tell she’s enjoying every minute of it. Happy girl and it shows.
