The answer is a few things are in today’s blog!
First up is this series of photos I got of Mora yesterday. For those who are new to the blog, Mora is the name staff have loving given Mave and Dora when they are together. Usually where you find one, you’ll find the other. These photos I got from the perspective of the foot box while I was playing with Dora. I had a hard time deciding which photo would make it to the blog. However, after consulting with other staff members, the answer was all of them should just make it since they too had a hard time deciding.

Next up, I have been thinking recently about some of the amazing soundtracks/compilation albums. As I was listening to one on the way to work the other day, I asked myself, which songs would be a part of “Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest: The Soundtrack.” Enlisting some help, here are the songs staff think would make a pretty good Spotify playlist:
“Baby Love” by The Supremes
“Enter Sandman” by Richard Cheese (Metallica cover song)
“Feel the Noize” by Quiet Riot (Slade cover song)
“Heavenly Day” by Patty Griffin
“Ice, Ice, Baby” by Vanilla Ice
“Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen
“The Rocky Montage” from the movie “Rocky”
“Get Ur Freak On” by Missy Elliot
“Murder Train” song from the television show “How I Met Your Mother”
“The Girl from Ipanema” by Antônio Carlos Jobim
Everyone had their reason for their choice. Like how “Enter Sandman” was listened to during the transport of Willy B, Honey B, and Mave from Wildlife Waystation. Or how a staff member sings “Baby Love” with some lyric substitutions to include Honey B. If you had a song that you think would be on a soundtrack about the sanctuary, which one would you choose?
Lastly, early giving has opened up for our GiveBig campaign. This year we hope to raise $50,000 for our BIG personalities, BIG appetites, and BIG plans for the future! Every little bit helps us reach our goal to provide the best life for our residents. The actual date for GiveBig is May 2-3. Be sure to check out our fundraiser page here!
