In celebration of today’s winter solstice, we threw a jungle party for the chimpanzees. Why? Because we can!
After the food, the highlight of the party was the giant stuffed animals collected and sent to us by some good friends of the chimps. Stuffed animals this large are a rarity around here – most of the chimps are more interested in destroying them than playing with them. Burrito, however, is a big fan.
I’m one of those who looks forward every day to the blog posts. They fill my being with such joy and such an education. I was watching a video the other day and was apparently grinning from ear to ear because my husband walked by and asked what I was grinning about. What a humbling, loving experience. Thank you all so much.
Such beautiful insight and observation ~ thank you so much for it and for the vids and pix and words each day!! Love being in this loop!!!!!!!!!! Hugs and love to you all…..
This video left me laughing! Can’t get over all the big stuffed animals. Especially enjoyed how Burrito took to the big stuffed chimp. And I had totally forgotten about the 2015 video of Burrito playing with his big gorilla BFF. Too sweet! That video made me remember his surgery, I thought of it after seeing his shaved, bare six-pack of a chest. What a lucky boy to be in your care.
I believe the entire world needs to follow your blog postings. Watching the chimps is an incredibly uplifting experience. You fill my heart with happiness and hope. Thank you for sharing Cle Elum Seven JOY with all of us every day of the year. Give my love to each of them.
