Missy and Foxie played a long game of chase this morning. Later, Jody joined in, in her own unique way.

Ring Around the Foxie

Saturday, June 26th, 2010Sunny summer weather= playful, happy chimps!
Friday, June 25th, 2010Here’s a pretty cute video I caught yesterday with Missy and Burrito playing. Just before this (and before I had a chance to get the camera) Missy had covered herself (head and all) with a pink blanket, and was chasing Burrito around the playroom. She looked like a pink snuffaluffagus! :)

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Missy and a coconut
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010We put out three coconuts for dinner the other night and they were great for enrichment as well as food – they kept the chimps busy for hours. Missy was not the only one who used a tool to poke through the eye of the coconut and get the juice out. I don’t know if they learned that technique by observing humans or if that’s something they picked up on their own – either way, it’s pretty smart.
I love how this video shows many aspects of Missy’s personality – playful, athletic, a little silly and intelligent.
Window installation day
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010Window installation day was last Friday, so the chimps had to be locked out of the playroom for the entire day. I did all I could to keep them busy so they wouldn’t get too bored or anxious during the construction, though they really didn’t seem to mind and were pretty interested to see what was happening. I put out tons of raisin boards, prepared by volunteers Jennifer & Larry the day before, which kept them busy for a while.
Burrito seemed pretty sure there was no better place to be that day than sitting in the window in the outdoor area looking into the playroom.
He even spied on the workers by looking at them in a mirror.
He doesn’t have a lot of guy friends, after all…
Missy checking out the construction: (Doesn’t she look young in this picture?!)
And the next day, the chimps finally got to take a look out their new clear picture window.
Burrito:
And of course, Negra: What an awesome birthday gift!

Sunday, June 13th, 2010We really can’t thank you enough for following the lives of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees and helping to fill their new lives with love and happiness.
The last two years have been remarkable.
This video is for you:

Saturday, June 12th, 2010Breakfast forage!
Saturday, June 5th, 2010Summer has been slow to come to Cle Elum, but today was beautiful, so we set up a breakfast forage first thing. Included were frozen strawberries, grapes, chow biscuits, nuts, smoothie in cups and fresh blades of grass. Everyone went for their favorites among the choices – Foxie for the grapes, Burrito for the chow biscuits, Jamie and Jody for the strawberries, Missy for smoothie, Annie for grass, and Negra for the nuts (while picking up grass for later).
