Big THANK YOU to Out of the Box Sponsors

I just updated the Out of the Box event page with new sponsorship information, and I’m so excited I had to share the new sponsors with you here on the blog. These folks are helping in a big way to make the Out of the Box auction (a sold-out event!) possible, and we really can’t thank them enough. Please check out the websites of the businesses and see what they’re all about.

It’s not too late to be a sponsor! Download these docs about sponsor benefits:

Grass

by

The chimps were thrilled to have a grass forage this morning. I am still not sure what’s going to happen when we complete Young’s Hill, and they get to go out onto two acres of grass. Annie may never come back in again!

Foxie took one piece of grass at a time and carried them around like a pirate carrying a knife in his mouth while climbing a ship’s rigging. Strange analogy, I know, but that’s what it looked like.

The chimps eat grass differently than they do other types of food and browse. They take one piece at a time, fold it accordion-style, and swallow it without chewing (often gagging themselves in the process!).

Happy Birthday Peter Cross

by

Today, Peter Cross sponsored a day of sanctuary for his birthday.

Peter and his wife Marie are  our newest supporters “across the pond” and follow the lives of the Cle Elum Seven on Facebook and Twitter.

We wish Peter the very best on his birthday and thank him for including the CSNW chimps in his celebration!

From yesterday’s birthday girl to Peter – Happy Birthday!

Jamie cleans

by

Jamie is very human-oriented. She is always interested in what the humans in her home are doing and how they’re doing it. Out of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees, Jamie is the most likely to sit and watch while we work on a construction project, fix a mechanical problem, or scrub the playroom. It’s no surprise, then, that she participates when she can.

Grooming

by

Missy and Annie spent some time grooming on the platform outside this afternoon. It had just started to sprinkle, so Missy covered herself up with a blanket to stay dry.

When chimps find something good during grooming (usually a piece of dead skin), they will often inspect it. Here, Annie is holding out her lower lip to check something out.
