Jody was trying to take a nap in the front rooms this afternoon, so Foxie made sure not to bother her while she was playing.

Our dedicated volunteers
Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest could not function without volunteer support. Chimp house volunteers wash produce, prepare meals, do laundry, tend to the garden, clean enclosures…they are part of every aspect of the sanctuary. Yesterday we had a small party to honor the folks that keep this place running. Of course, the humans can’t have a party on their own, so the chimps got to enjoy a picnic dinner, with lots of fresh greens, homemade (and healthy!) potato and pasta salads, and veggie burgers.
To all the volunteers that couldn’t make it, thank you for giving up so much of your time to help the Cle Elum Seven.

We put out fresh straw this morning in the outdoor area and Jody wasted no time building a large, comfortable nest.
Eat, sleep, repeat
Last night, one of our volunteers made peppers stuffed with rice, apples and lime juice for dinner:
This morning, the chimps nibbled on grass:
Afterwards, Jody decided to make herself comfortable:
Missy, as usual, stopped to pose for a photo:
Lazy Thursday
Even with temperatures above 80 degrees, Negra insists on napping under a blanket. Behind her, Foxie and Jody muster just enough energy to play tickle laying down.
