Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
I was looking through some photos from June. As you can imagine, all of the caregivers take a lot of photos. Most of the best ones make it to the blog, but once in a while I find some that haven’t been posted. It only took me a few minutes to find these never-before-seen gems:
Burrito:
Foxie:
Foxie making faces to herself in a mirror:
Missy under a blanket. She’s been doing a lot of Negra impersonating this summer:
You thought I was asleep…
but I wasn’t:
Recycling at it’s finest:
First, Lynn brought in some more trolls for Foxie’s birthday and the Troll Olympics. I have become quite familiar with the facial features of troll dolls these past three years, and I noticed one troll in Lynn’s batch whose ears were slightly different than those I had seen before. I realized she reminded me of one of the chimps…
Take a look at the photos below and tell me you think.
Troll doll with chimp ears?:
Annie, also with chimp ears:
I believe there’s a definite resemblance. What do you think?
Enough about troll dolls for the moment, here are some great photos that J.B. took yesterday:
Burrito eating cattails from the pond on the property:
Missy being cool:
Negra being Neggie:
In preparation for Foxie’s birthday and the Troll Olympics, several supporters have been gathering troll dolls. Foxie and the town of Roslyn, where the Troll Olympics will be held, have no idea what’s in store…
Just take a look at the dolls that Monica found for Foxie! This photo was taken before she packed them up and shipped them to the sanctuary:
If you’re local, I hope you’ll join us at the Troll Olympics on July 30th. Let me know if you’d like to volunteer.
If you’re not local, well, perhaps you can create your own troll celebration and let us know about it.
Big thanks to our partner ARRF Animal Rescue who is having their 2nd annual Doggie Olympics before the Troll Olympics at the same location – you should definitely come to both!
And thanks to sponsors of the Roslyn games: Abbott’s Printing, Inc., KXA 93.7 The Wind (if you know the area, you know why the local radio station is called The Wind!), Roslyn Downtown Association, Cascade East Animal Clinic and Jeb’s Pet Supply.
Jamie, Foxie, and Missy have been super playful all morning. The three of them played on top of the climbing structure in the outdoor area for at least an hour and have been chasing each other around the playroom and laughing hysterically the whole time. But everyone knows that in between play bouts, one must nap.

Jamie and Foxie love to play. Today I caught them in an intense game of tug-o-war with a troll in their mouths.
