There are a handful of species who have demonstrated self-recognition, and chimpanzees are among this handful. Of the Cle Elum Seven, Foxie in particular enjoys mirrors.
Pretty things
1st pretty thing: Have you noticed the redesigned CSNW website!! High five to Clocktower Media for helping us bring the Cle Elum Seven to the world!
2nd pretty thing: We have SO many amazing items for the Celebrate the Seven Oct. 2nd auction. I promise to share more about this in the coming weeks. Today’s auction item sneak peak is a one-of-a-kind wallet with Foxie’s photo on it with a $50 gift certificate inside. Take a look on the Laura Bee Designs blog. Thanks, Laura!
Play Face Sponsorship
Thank you, Barbara Lauterbach for being a play face sponsor for the Oct. 2nd Celebrate the Seven auction and helping to put these faces on Foxie and Missy! We need more sponsors – please consider becoming one yourself or having your business sponsor. Check out the benefits here.
Sweet, sweet Jamie
I took these photos a couple of weeks ago. When J.B. posted the video of Jamie nesting, I remembered I had them. It’s pretty unusual to see Jamie actually sleeping. She is so active and watchful that I often joke that she never sleeps.
But when the nest calls…
Missy’s Birthday
After Jackie’s great video post yesterday of Missy and her socks, I wanted to be sure to let everyone know that we’ll be celebrating Missy’s birthday on August 23rd – less than a week from today! Cle Elum Seven friend Robbi will be delivering some special gift packages, and of course we’ll be giving Missy all of the things she loves (like lots of socks!!) on Sunday. It will be her first birthday celebration at the sanctuary. We do not know her exact day of birth, so, with the help of friends, we chose a day for her celebration. We can’t wait to share her day with you!
Send blankets & toys to Save the Chimps
Tamela just posted this on our the Chimp Sanctuary Supporters social network. Save the Chimps needs blankets and toys for the chimpanzees in New Mexico. We’re fortunate at CSNW to have an abundance of these things right now, so please do send what you have to the deserving chimpanzees who are being cared for by the great folks at Save the Chimps!
