Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
1st pretty thing: Have you noticed the redesigned CSNW website!! High five to Clocktower Media for helping us bring the Cle Elum Seven to the world!
2nd pretty thing: We have SO many amazing items for the Celebrate the Seven Oct. 2nd auction. I promise to share more about this in the coming weeks. Today’s auction item sneak peak is a one-of-a-kind wallet with Foxie’s photo on it with a $50 gift certificate inside. Take a look on the Laura Bee Designs blog. Thanks, Laura!
Burrito greeted us this morning in a happy, goofy, playful mood.
Here is a video of the chimps enjoying a lunch of carrots, tomatoes, and onions.
Only Foxie can make eating a carrot look cool.
We partied it up today in celebration of Missy’s first birthday in sanctuary. Thanks so much to everyone who sent donations or happy thoughts to the birthday girl! The chimps (and humans!) had a pretty fabulous day.
The chimpanzees have been so playful and carefree lately. This morning when JB and I arrived at the chimp house and opened the door to the chimp area, we both stopped short at what we heard. The chimps were chasing each other, tickling each other, and laughing. Loudly. Chimpanzee laughter is not typically loud, but this morning it seemed to fill the space and bounce off the walls.
Here’s a video of Annie and Missy entertaining themselves, as usual, while we cleaned the playroom after breakfast. Even Negra is feeling playful these days; I’ve included a brief clip of her playing a rhythm game with JB.
Thank you, Barbara Lauterbach for being a play face sponsor for the Oct. 2nd Celebrate the Seven auction and helping to put these faces on Foxie and Missy! We need more sponsors – please consider becoming one yourself or having your business sponsor. Check out the benefits here.
