Negra chose one of the pirate blankets (part of pirate day last week) to put over her this morning.
From the back she looked kind of tough
From the front, though, Negra just looked very sweet

Saturday, August 21st, 2010How to Nest by Jody and Missy
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Jody and Missy are master nest-builders. I managed to get some recent photos of them making midday nests.
Jody’s step one: stand in the middle of the nest and build it around you.
Jody’s step two: include both sheets and blue paper in the nest for full comfort
Jody’s step three: dive face first into the bed (this movement often accompanied by a “Jody happy noise”)
Jody’s step four: enjoy the comfort you’ve created
Missy’s step one: first see if someone will play with you if you put a blanket over your head
Missy’s step two: if no one takes the play bait, proceed with nest-making by placing blankets around you where you sit
Missy’s step three: unfold and place blankets carefully
Missy’s step four: do a headstand
Missy’s step four: roll into a comfortable position and enjoy
A chimp and a monkey
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010The chimps seem to have a love/hate relationship with stuffed animals. Stuffed monkeys and apes, in particular, tend to get their insides ripped out quickly and somewhat violently. Sometimes, though, if they have that ineffable quality, they are granted a temporary reprieve and become snuggle partners.
Volunteer Stephanie P. and her niece Sara donated this giant monkey to the chimps, and he/she is still “alive” and kicking, against all odds.
Troll dolls resting

and troll dolls aren’t just for Foxie these days, here’s Negra resting with a doll. Maybe she’s trying to figure out what the fuss is all about
Summer Loungin’
Friday, July 9th, 2010Yesterday was hot, hot, hot here in Cle Elum, so the chimps spent quite a bit of time lounging around their indoor playroom. As you can see, Jamie is still rarely caught without a pair of cowboy boots (notice she has one by her head and another in her hip pocket).
Cute chimps!
Friday, July 2nd, 2010The weather has been so wonderful today! After breakfast, I caught nearly everyone out in the greenhouse either grooming or resting. We have some pretty cute chimps here at CSNW. :)

Ring Around the Foxie
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Missy and Foxie played a long game of chase this morning. Later, Jody joined in, in her own unique way.
Jody’s sweet face
Monday, June 21st, 2010Diana took some pretty awesome pictures of Jody cuddling with a giant stuffed dog the other day. You may have seen it on Jody Chimpanzee’s facebook page, but I wanted to share them here. So adorable!

Burrito was even caught nesting on a blanket in front of the window!
