As we’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, Jody doesn’t play too often. But every once in a while, we’ll catch her playing with someone, which is a real treat. Even then though, it’s often a very mellow kind of play… Today, however, Missy got her going, resulting in a full-fledged play session. Notice how Jamie tries to steal their thunder towards the end… very “Jamie-like”, if you ask me. 🙂

Love a Chimpanzee Day!
Today is in memory of Monica Best’s cat Ozzie. Monica has named today Love a Chimpanzee Day and she sent a care package to the Cle Elum Seven full of their favorite things. Thank you, Monica for sponsoring today and caring so much about the chimpanzees!

Fundraising Update – $17,500 raised
I just updated the banana and we’ve raised $17,500 since the fundraising began on March 17th. This is great! Thank you so much to everyone who has already given in so many creative ways.
We have $27,500 to go to reach our ultimate goal by June 13th. I really think we can do it, but it is going to take a lot more people sending out the word to their friends and family and digging into their own pockets.
Do it for Negra! Three new windows for sunbathing would be an amazing gift for her birthday and a great way to celebrate two years in sanctuary.
Playful Chimps!
I think it’s possible Foxie could get anyone in the mood to play.
Spring!
Warm weather has finally arrived. Yesterday J.B. removed one wall of the greenhouse panels.
Negra was ready
Negra spent yesterday and today in her spot enjoying the view
While we enjoyed the view of Negra with the direct sunlight on her face
She also spent some time in her favorite pose, taking a nap
Doesn’t this close up of Negra just compel you to contribute (and tell all of your friends to donate) to the 2nd Anniversary Fundraising to celebrate Negra’s birthday and 2 years in sanctuary?
Thank you to everyone who is working hard to give Negra and all of the Cle Elum Seven this second chance on life at the sanctuary.
Jamie and Missy at Play
Another day, another crazy wrestling match.
Spring grass
We’ve had some crazy weather here the last few weeks. Today, though, actually felt like Spring. Most of the snow melted and revealed patches of grass, which Annie spotted when the human door to the greenhouse was opened. Annie loves grass, as you know from last spring and summer, so J.B. felt he had to give everyone a taste.
