Oodles of Fun!

Oodles: (Noun) a very great number or amount of something. For example, I have oodles of photos!

Guys, what a week! It has been a little crazy here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest or at least on the human side. It’s becoming cold and flu season and it took some of our team out this week. But, we made it to Friday and rest assure I have a oodles of extra photos from this week! Who wouldn’t want to look at chimp photos to ease into their weekend!

Also if you have ever wondered how can you could help these amazing & wonderful chimpanzees, a very simple way is to buy items off our amazon wish-list! An example could be: we have three more chimpanzees, which meaning we go through produce a lot faster. Donating Safeway gift cards is a great way to really helps us out!

Okay enough talking, let’s look at these chimps!

It is beginning to feel like fall. This morning I found Neggie wrapped up in blankets in the Green House:

We’ve Got Ten!

Today was a pretty busy day. We had an amazing group of volunteers from Suncadia come and help us with the new extension on the Hill which provided a lot of supervision opportunities for Jamie and the entire chimp house really! But guys… Honey B, Mave, and Willy B got to go out in their new tunnel yesterday afternoon!! The seven and the three got to see each other from afar, and to say they were excited would be an understatement. I mean, Burrito almost forgot to eat dinner! So there was a lot of hustle and bustle between the work on the new hill and getting a peak at the new guys! There will be a video soon, but I thought today I would show you a collection of photos of each one of the chimps!

And a big thank you to the volunteers who came out to help us!

Meet Mave!

We are just basking in Mave right now! Mave is the most pleasant surprise! We didn’t know much about her going into this process. We had learned a bit about Willy B and of course we knew a lot of about Honey B, because you know, being Missy’s daughter. But when J.B. and Diana went to visit at Wildlife Waystation Honey B and Willy B were way more interactive, so we weren’t sure what to expect with Mave. So far, in our “honeymoon” phase, she is silly, easy going, and a good friend. She can play rough with Willy B, lay back and relax, or be caught grooming with either one of her friends. Mave seems to really enjoy slinkys! She also does this silly play bounce where she almost looks like she is doing a pushup and than explodes up in the air and claps her hands and feet together, and then she likes to play chase with her caregiver outside the windows! You could say we are smitten.
