Yahooo! $7,200 raised last night at Sippin’ for the Seven wine tasting event in Roslyn. Lots of people to thank, which I will do tomorrow. For now – THANK YOU EVERYONE! It was a blast. Save the date for next year – Saturday, February 26, 2011.

Foxie is so cool.
Foxie has a way of making everything she does look cool, whether it’s eating a carrot, watching TV, or tossing a troll doll head around.
Jamie’s latest boots
Jamie can never have enough shoes….
Getting there the hard way
Jamie is the type of person that really enjoys using all of her abilities, both mental and physical. She loves a challenge. If something is too easy, she’ll find a more difficult way of doing it, just for fun.
Sometimes she gets this look in her eyes and you know she’s up to something. You can almost follow her thought process as she looks around and figures out what tools she’s going to need to get the job done, or what series of moves she going to need to do to accomplish her goal.
Here’s a brief example. Jamie wants to move about four feet over to say hello to Denice. And how does she get there?
News on Ning
A couple of days ago, I added a new feature to the Chimp Sanctuary Supporters network. It’s a feature that allows members to post links to news stories (or really anything). You can also add your own comment along with the link. I think it will be a nice way for us all to share stories about what sanctuaries are doing and anything that we come across about chimpanzees that we’d like to share with others. Check out Chimp Sanctuary Supporters and click the “News Share” tab to post.
Foxie nesting
We just caught Foxie in the playroom nesting with a blanket! Hopefully, it’s just a matter of time before she’s nesting with many blankets.
Foxie- the next “Lord of the Dance”
Today, I popped in a video of “Lord of the Dance”, donated by one of our many wonderful supporters and volunteers, Stephanie Perciful. We put it on our wishlist in hopes that Negra would enjoy it, because she sometimes enjoys watching her caregivers’ dance. So far Negra hasn’t shown much interest in it and is usually too far away to see it. Foxie on the other hand, seems to thoroughly enjoy it and looks like she kind of wants to join in! Someone recently commented that Foxie may be musically inclined- I think I agree. Thanks, Stephanie! I’d say Foxie seems pretty enriched!
Note- I orginally said that the video was donated by Tamela, but it was actually Stephanie who donated it! So sorry Stephanie and Tamela for the confusion! Guess I am indeed human. 🙂
