    Thank you, Tobin for always placing Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW front and foremost in your heart. And thank you Katelyn for all these photos, especially that picture of Jamie with Missy! Jamie‘s hair, spiking up in the top center of her head, had me laughing out loud. Isn’t she simply marvelous?!

    Can’t wait to see the celebration today.

    Thank you Tobin for your generosity and thoughtfulness on Christmas Day.
    Is anyone else getting cheerful and a little tearfull that this Christmas George is at last safe, warm and in the company of chimp friends.
    I can’t wait to see what’s on the menu at the grand celebration today — the merry sound of chimp grunts. Thank you to everyone for all you do everyday at CSNW.
