Mave is a giant floof. There was a time when she only floofed indoors. Now she is perfectly happy to floof outdoors as well.
Spring grass is one of the chimps’ favorite snacks. Despite having 4.5 acres of grass to choose from, we find the chimps going back to their own favorite patches time after time. Missy prefers a patch on the north fence line, while Jamie and Burrito can often be seen in the southeast corner at the very top of the hill. When the chimps are late to breakfast, we know just where to look for them.
The cows are never late to breakfast, now that they are out on the Bray pasture.
After a walk around the hill this afternoon, Annie laid down for a nap in the cozy greenhouse.
Some of us were down in Florida last week for the 2025 North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance Workshop, which included a tour of Save the Chimps. We were fortunate to see, from a distance, many of the kids of the Cle Elum Seven, including Annie’s son Virgil. Annie may not know it but her son has a wonderful life now.
