Nestled in her greenhouse, Foxie and her baby doll are sharing a quiet moment with us today. Just us, the warm air (from the heater), and the gentle rustle of leaves – sometimes the simplest moments are the sweetest, so enjoy this moment of zen
Partners in Play
Today’s blog video features some fun scenes from Cy’s side of the building. In the first clip, you’ll see Lucky, Rayne, and Terry enjoying a gentle game of chase that ends with playful tickling. The second clip shows Gordo and Honey B grooming and playing in their room, which we filled with paper as an enrichment activity. We hope the good vibes keep coming with Cy’s group!
New Boot Goofin’
While the bipeds were keeping very busy around the chimp house today with enclosure cleaning and meetings, Jamie remained perfectly unbothered by all the commotion. In true Jamie fashion, she spent her morning meticulously crafting the perfect nest, arranging it just so for her daily reading session.
But the real highlight came later when caregiver Kelsi arrived with a special surprise: a brand new pair of thigh-high boots. If you know Jamie, you know there’s nothing she loves more than her boot collection. You can check them out in today’s blog video!
New Year 2025!
Yesterday the chimp’s enjoyed their 2025 party with pomegranate, black eyes peas, green beans and sparkling cider! Happy New Year, everyone!
Catching Up
The tinsel and lights are slowly coming down, and as the holiday magic fades into January’s quiet, life settles back into its familiar rhythm. In our little corner of the world, everyone’s finding their way back to their favorite routines – each in their own way.
Cy, our resident bookworm, has already disappeared behind a stack of magazines. You can almost see the contentment radiating from him as he catches up on the reading he was distracted from during the holiday hustle.
Meanwhile Honey B is doing what she does best – turning her favorite cubby into the coziest spot in town. She moves blankets and other crucial items around until it’s just right, she is an interior decorator with very specific ideas about comfort.
And then there’s Jamie, who hasn’t given up on her ongoing mission of collecting all the boots. Her dedication to claiming these prized possessions from their two-legged owner would make any master strategist proud.
Christmas Eve in the Chimp House
We are one night away from Christmas here at the Chimp House and while caregivers are hard at work procuring the food for the festivities and wrapping all the presents for the chimps to receive tomorrow Honey B and Gordo are taking it easy and enjoying a long play session in their giant box.

An Early Gift for Jamie
Yesterday caregiver Jenna found time in her day to decorate the chimps Christmas trees for them complete with lights, tiny stockings and ornaments. This morning we rolled in the Christmas tree for Jamie’s group to enjoy and right away Jamie found something she wanted.
Jamie immediately found a tool and began her quest to hook a tiny boot for herself! Join her on this journey in today’s blog video!
