Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Running an organization with nearly a dozen staff and several dozen volunteers is a difficult task, but Jamie takes it all in stride. Enjoy this video of Jamie mobilizing all of the farm vehicles this afternoon.
Here are some bonus photos from this smokey day:
Diana thought she was going right back to the office after cattle feeding but as she was backing the Gator into the barn, Jamie flagged her down. It was time to race.
Diana put the machine back into gear and drove up the hill.
Burrito ran to catch up and they both tried to stay ahead of Diana.
Missy came storming up from behind to join in the fun.
After a long, tough winter, it was good to see the gang out racing again.
I think Jamie let Diana win this one…
The other night, Jamie was walking around Young’s Hill with Diana (and Meredith) after all of the other chimps had gone to bed. As I went to put the Gator back into the barn, she signaled that she wanted to race. So we did. And we were lucky enough to do it with one of the most beautiful sunsets as our backdrop. Strange job, indeed.
As a bonus, here are some photos our our man Willy B from this morning. He dined in on the first level of the platform with the lettuce he’d picked up along the way, but he took the orange on the second level to go. Mave reached out to grab some lettuce from the boardwalk but she has yet to come all the way out. And Honey B is content for now to watch from above in the chute. All in good time.
