Gordo

Honey B and Dora with a Side of Gordo

April 4, 2025 by Krissy Brasfield

Honey B and Dora have the most fun together!  My personal favorite is when Honey B is standing on her head, and Dora is playing with her feet (keep your eyes peeled and you may see this a couple of times in today’s video!).

Today, Gordo happened to be sitting close by and wanted badly to get in on the fun!  While often times, two’s a party and three’s a crowd, Gordo managed to sneak in a few play moments with the girls!

Enjoy!

Quality Time with Gordo

March 22, 2025 by Ellen Brady-McGaughey

In today’s blog video, spend some quality time with Gordo as he provides the best kind of distraction for a caregiver in the form of light taps to get our attention, bunny hops, a sweet kiss through the glass, and other Gordo antics. He is such a joy to know and love!

Gordo Making Decisions on a Blustery Bray Day

March 2, 2025 by Diana

Today’s video is mostly about Gordo, but doesn’t Cy look great out there! These chimpanzees from California are getting used the Central Washington weather little by little.

Did you have a fake spring day today too? If so, I hope you got out there like Gordo.

Valentine’s Day with Cy and Friends

February 15, 2025 by Kelsi

Ellen said it best yesterday, “We celebrated our forever valentines”. Cy loved the mail box this caregivers made for him, full of his favorite thing, but especially his paper hearts of him and Stanley Tucci. Please enjoy this video of Cy, Terry, Willy B, Gordo, Honey B, Mave, Lucky, Rayne, and Dora enjoying all their special treats yesterday!

PRT A Day Keeps the Doctor at Bay

January 24, 2025 by Ellen Brady-McGaughey

Watch today’s blog video to see what the chimpanzees and our Positive Reinforcement Training team have been up to!

Here is a hint…

This is a EKG reading from Terry, using the KardiaMobile!

Honey B has been resting a lot today after her procedure yesterday. She spent her morning watching chimp videos from her cozy nest, and was reunited with Gordo this afternoon. Gordo seemed very glad to have his friend back!

Knock knock…

January 9, 2025 by Anna

Who’s there you say? Why it’s Gordo and his silly little tapping game he played with Kelsi today!
