Today is the infamous Love a Chimp Day! In addition to Tobin’s lovely sponsor-a-day for this special Love a Chimpanzee celebration, of course the founder of the day herself, Monica Best, also sponsored today. How incredible is it that Monica has been helping us all celebrate our love of chimpanzees for 16 years! She is also the donor of all of the squishmallows that were part of today’s celebration. Thank you so much to Monica for your incredible and ongoing support and generosity!!
This years menu was: pasta, virgin pina coldas, ice treats, lettuce, and young coconuts! The chimps house was noisy from all the food grunts and squeaks! Click here to watch all the fun!
Happy Love a Chimp Day!
Thank you for sharing this video. It is exhilarating to see and hear the Chimpanzees enjoying a party held in their honor. I trust that Neggie found some hidden treasures on Young’s Hill that the Easter Rodent left especially for her.
It is simply marvelous that Monica had the brilliant idea to create an annual day of love and appreciation for the chimpanzees of Cle Elum. Her generous heart is an inspiration. Thank you Monica. (And if my feeble memory serves me right, I believe you and Diana have birthdays coming up? Happy Birthday to both of you…a round of virgin pina coladas for everyone!)
Clearly a most excellent Love A Chimpanzee Day celebration!!! Cy!!!! He was over the moon! The coconuts were a hit as was the pasta. Great seeing the various techniques to crack open the coconuts. Can’t say I’ve the seen anyone attempt the foot stomp before, but Gordo sure was determined to make it work. Ouch! I wonder how his feet are feeling right about now.
Thanks for sharing all the excitement, food, and fun! Cheers to the best chimps in the world!
Thanks Monica for your ongoing generous support of this foodie day for the chimps. i loved everything on the menu. i can’t footstomp a coconut, but i’d have more than one plate of pasta as a certain girlie sure did.
Monica and Tobin! You made Dora’s happy toes go! :slight_smile: Thanks to both.
Little Gordito got THREE coconuts! One for each plate of sghetti busted by Beezus! And Neggie was excited enough to launch herself onto the platform via firehose swing! Again!
Early birthday wishes for Monica and Diana!
Wow, Gordo surely doesn’t have any hip issues! :grin::coconut:
Thank you, Monica for the great idea and for loving the chimps so much! :monkey_face::rose::coconut::cocktail:
Gorgeous video and thank you Monica and Tobin. From Cy’s unadulterated joy when that feast was laid out to the last out door shot with the coconuts it was one heck of a food extravaganza and a great success. Thank you everyone for providing a fun filled (and tummy filled)day. I think it’s “Love a chimp day every day” at the sanctuary :sparkling_heart::icecream::cake:
Happy Love a Chimp Day to all of the wonderful folks at CSNW (and to Tobin and Monica, as well). Of course, every day is Love a Chimp Day at CSNW, but the extra treats on offer were definitely a big hit, judging by Dora’s happy little toes and Honey B’s spaghetti haul.
Whgt a wonderful party, such fun to see the chimps so excited about and so enjoying their speical food for the day!
Really enjoyed Love a Chimp Day! This video will be a “keeper”! Appreciare getting to see Dora’s happy toes while she was eating. The zoom call was fun to be a part of and thanks to all for making it possible.
