Deep Breaths!

June 19, 2025 by Anna 5 Comments

Lately, George’s side of the building has been awash with busy energy as we work to get him acquainted with his new surroundings and make plans for his next steps at the sanctuary. Shifting the chimpanzee groups around to make our plans happen for George requires a sharp mind and extreme attention to detail. It’s a lot of rewarding work to configure that complicated shifting puzzle but it can also be a bit of a relief to take a break and work on the other side of the building with the generally consistent Jamie’s group.

Today, like all my lead caregiver days, I worked with Jamie’s group. It was really nice to take a deep breath and stop for a minute to watch their peaceful lunch forage.

    The old dependable Cle Elum Seven gang. Like Eli stated, I always enjoy seeing photos of Jamie’s group outside on Young’s Hill enjoying their surroundings. Speaking of Jamie…..we haven’t seen much of her lately. What’s she been up to?

    Thanks for the beautiful photos, Anna! You have so much on your plate with the recent addition of George. I’m happy to see you are savoring moments like this.
