We may never understand what it is about boots that Jamie loves so much, but love them she does.
chimpanzee rescue
7 eyes
Prepare yourself for the hardest chimpanzee identification test of your life! I present to you, a closeup on each of the Cle Elum 7’s eyes. First one to correctly identify all seven eyes, gets bragging rights!
A Lovely Face
Jody has the most expressive face. She seems to greet the world in wonder.
All Play Today
It may come off that Jamie is all work and no play (which can be true), but she knows how to take a load off when she needs to. And who better to help her relax than Foxie? The hard part is capturing the moments when they are happening! As you can see in the video a hand slyly comes up to suggest I leave. We never want to intrude in any chimp to chimp social time so I left shortly after. Jamie and Foxie proceeded to play for another 15 minutes before Missy suggested everyone enjoy some tomatoes from the garden!
Getting Comfy
Today has been all about supreme comfort for Queen Negra.
In memory of Ron and Betty Kreuscher
This day of sanctuary was sponsored by Ronalyn Huenergard and she shared this message about today:
“This donation is in memory of my parents, Ron and Betty Kreuscher on their wedding anniversary. They were very proud of their 3 children, 8 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.”
Ronalyn, thank you so much for adding to the chimpanzees’ lives in memory of your parents. All of us here send you and your family good thoughts and hope this day is filled with comfort, joy and love as you celebrate Ron and Betty and the memories you hold dear. We so appreciate you holding the chimps in your heart.
Good friends, Burrito and Jody:
Outdoor sanctuary
Cooler temperatures at the sanctuary mean more frequent (and fast paced) walks on Young’s Hill!
