Terry is a big chimpanzee who pays particular attention to tiny things.
His fascination with flowers has less to do with the flowers themselves and more to do with any tiny insect that he can detect and examine.
Chad wrote a blog post a while back with a poem he penned, and photos to go along, entitled Teeny Tiny Terry.
That poem caught the attention of Mary Lee Jensvold who sent it along to her daughter Hannah who made a very special illustrated and hand bound for an online auction.
I can’t say that we have any hand-bound books in our upcoming HOOT! online auction, but we do have some really great items, including our first ever CSNW yearbook that caregivers Jenna and Ellen have been putting together just for the event!
The online auction is open to anyone and runs October 1st – October 6th.
We also have some really amazing and fun items for the in-person event. Time is running out to get tickets, so if you are anywhere near Seattle, reserve your space now!
If you are unable to attend the in-person event, be sure to RSVP to watch the livestream of the HOOT! program.
I love the book idea as a fundraiser for this sanctuary! And I love Terry, too!
Terry is such a gentle giant! He’s so focused.
One has to wonder how those big hands can so delicately hold that little flower to intricately inspect every detail of it. It appears Terry is an entomologist!!
I wish I could attend HOOT in person. But I am signed up and ready for the live auction.
These pictures of Terry are amazing – as is he!
I love these photos of Terry so much! Thank you for sharing Terry’s Tendency Towards Tiny Things.:revolving_hearts:
