chimpanzee retirement

wish list – new items

July 25, 2009 by Diana

Just wanted to let everyone know that I added a couple of things to the amazon.com wish list today. Two things we’re a little desperate for are memory cards for our cameras (we’ve worn ours out!) and a wheel barrow or two.

I’ve heard from a couple of people who are sending us troll dolls for Foxie’s birthday on August 8th – yay! Keep em’ coming! I was also looking for toys that Jamie likes. She’s fascinated by those old ball popper things – they don’t seem to make them anymore, but I found one on ebay for only $.99 – check it out here so you know what I’m talking about – I bet there are lots of these at garage sales and such.

In terms of BIG ticket items, we’re going to need a tractor with a plow and a loader before winter. J.B.’s started looking at used tractors online – maybe summer is the time to find a deal?

There are a few things that we now have plenty of – most notably blankets and sheets.

Thank you all for your help in keeping the chimp house stocked and the chimpanzees happy!

Celebrate Foxie and her string o’ trolls!

July 22, 2009 by Diana

Foxie’s birthday is coming up soon! On August 8th Foxie will be turning 33, and we are going to celebrate Foxie-style. We are planning to put out more trolls than she has ever had at once. So, dig out those trolls you collected in the eighties and send Foxie a couple to PO Box 952, Cle Elum, WA 98922.

For inspiration, here’s a video of Foxie with her string o’ trolls:

String o’ trolls

July 17, 2009 by Diana

Question of the day: what would Foxie do with a bunch of trolls strung together?

Creative Fundraising

July 10, 2009 by J.B.

Recently, the students at Walter Strom Middle School here in Cle Elum held a fundraiser for the chimps with the support of the Cle Elum Kiwanis Club. By collecting change, the students  raised $181, which we will use to care for the Cle Elum Seven. We are so grateful for the wonderful support we continue to receive from our community. Thanks everyone!

And if you are in the Seattle area, visit Corrine at the Hair Company on Greenwood. Corrine took part in our Holiday Fundraising program by donating the proceeds of her haircuts to CSNW, and she decided to keep the program going! Thanks Corrine!

Caregiving

July 5, 2009 by Diana

One of the more fantastic things that has happened in the last year is that the chimpanzees have new caregivers – staff and volunteer. Jackie is our newest staff person, and she is just finishing up chimpanzee care training. It is so fun to see the chimps react and interact with new friends. Today I spied on Jamie and Foxie playing with Jackie through the barn doors. Jamie had a stretchy hose-like thing that she was using to play tug-of-war. Being Jamie, she naturally wore a bikini top draped around her neck (complete with trolls tied to the strings).

In addition to playing with the chimps, which is a very important job, Jackie’s been hard at work caring for the chimps’ garden beds. Check them out!
