Dinner

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

For dinner this afternoon, the chimps foraged on blueberries, cherries, and bowls of mashed potatoes with sundried tomatoes. Yum!

Play Laughter for our Play Laugh Sponsors

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Thank you to our Celebrate the Seven Play Laugh sponsors thus far. This video is for you, Deborah and Bruce Wagman and anonymous! Read about how you can become a sponsor on August 4th’s blog post.

Tug of war

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Games of tug of war happen pretty frequently between humans and chimps here at CSNW (any guesses as to who always wins?), but extended bouts of chimpanzee-chimpanzee tug of war are less common.

Day of the Troll

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Thank you to everyone who made today so special for Foxie. It’s difficult to believe that this is her second birthday in sanctuary. We hope she has many more days like today in her future. We couldn’t do it without the support of so many. Check out her celebration last year. And take a look at part of today’s celebration below

Good Belly for chimp bellies

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Many thanks to the people at NextFoods, who were kind enough to donate (and deliver!) 10 cases of their Good Belly probiotic juice for the chimps. After we served juice this afternoon, Jamie did what she could to get that last bit from the empty carton.

Thank you, sponsors!

Thank you individual sponsors Barbara Lauterbach, who is a Play Face Sponsor (her sponsorship certainly made me produce a play face!) and an anonymous Play Laugh sponsor! Please consider joining the ranks and sponsoring the Oct 2nd Celebrate the Seven auction so all money raised will go to the sanctuary. I’d love to have a Food Squeak Sponsor – I will post a new video of Burrito food squeaking if someone sponsors at that level. See August 4th’s blog post for more info on the sponsorship levels.

We have three business sponsors so far as well: our wonderful printers who do so much for us – Abbott’s Printing, and two other awesome businesses who are helping to make the auction great: POM Wonderful and Theo Chocolate. Keep checking our events page for the latest.

Thank you to all!

Best friends

It seems these two never tire of each other’s company.
