Jamie undercover
Lately, Jamie’s been taking a page out of Negra’s book and spending a lot of time covered up.
Play and Rest
This morning while waiting for us to clean the HUGE mess in the playroom (see yesterday’s blog video), Missy and Annie played in the front rooms. Jamie opted for a nap.
Help poster Seattle
Hey Seattleites – can you help us spread the word about the auction? We have some fabulous flyers and leave-behind cards, and we’re looking for folks to cover Ballard, Queen-Anne, Magnolia and other greater-downtown areas. Shoot Sabrina an email today and she’ll arrange to supply you with materials and let you know how we’re tracking what areas/businesses are covered.
Thanks for helping the chimps by getting folks to the best fundraising event to hit Seattle all year!
Philanthropy Day at Urban Weeds
One of our favorite Seattle businesses is having a philanthropy day! Shop Urban Weeds all day today – Saturday, September 19th and choose to donate 20% of your purchase to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest or three other worthy charities – including the Fremont Abbey Arts Center where Celebrate the Seven is going to be held. The Fremont Abbey is a not just a venue for rent – they have a bunch of great community programs focusing on music, visual dance and literary arts (we’d understand if you have a hard time choosing which organization to give your 20%).
In addition to supporting four terrific causes, Urban Weeds will be offering some great deals on plants and accessories for your urban gardening desires.
Hours are 10am to 6pm and their address is 4302 Fremont Ave N. Find a map here.
Jamie sleeping outside
J.B. and I were just outside and we spied a chimpanzee -form on top of the climbing structure in the outdoor area after all of the caregivers left for the evening. Normally the chimps tend to bed down right after dinner and are pretty well settled by the time the caregivers leave at night, and we’ve rarely seen anyone settling outside. I figured that the indoors might just feel safer, but I’ve been hoping that, after time, the outdoor area might also feel like a safe place to sleep.
When we got closer, we could tell that it was Jamie. She was lying down on her stomach and had a sheet completely covering everything but her head. She looked at us casually, but with no interest in getting up. Next to her on the platform was the boat bumper that she had apparently pulled up there earlier today. Maybe Jamie decided it was a good night for a camp out in her own personal tree house.
