Wednesday, September 1st, 2010Karen’s Honorary Birthday Party
Monday, August 30th, 2010We love you, Karen! :)
Happy (late!) Birthday Karen!
Monday, August 30th, 2010Yesterday was a special day for one of our favorite and longest standing supporters – Karen! Karen, we love you more than we can say and we’re so grateful for how much you add to the chimps’ (and humans’) lives! I was having ’issues’ yesterday and didn’t get anything posted, but was thinking about you! In your honor we had a big festival of fun and challenging enrichment – we hung food and drinks from hooks outside the fencing and gave the chimps tools to get them inside. Jamie, Jody, Annie and Missy worked particularly hard at solving these problems, and everyone enjoyed the treats. Video from yesterday will hopefully come later today!

Annie gets creative
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Annie and Missy never seem to tire of each other. Maybe it’s because they’re always thinking up new ways to play. This morning, during a lengthy play session, Annie decided to stand on Missy.
Today in honor of Angel
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010Today is a Sponsor-a-Day for Angel. Angel is Debbie K.’s 14 year old golden retriever and the 24th of August was the day Debbie adopted her from the Humane Society when she was 9 years old.
Happy rescue day, Angel!
Thank you Debbie for honoring Angel by sponsoring today in her honor.
Debbie says when she looks at Angel, she thinks of Negra.
Missy’s Birthday
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Today we celebrated Missy’s 35th Birthday. What a great day! We set the party up first thing this morning and scattered tons of gift bags of goodies from Dick and Robbi, and set up a forage of oranges, peaches, carrots, frozen cantaloupe, and “night bags” (or “breakfast bags”, if you will) of sunflower seeds, which were hidden inside the gift bags. The chimps loved the party and were in excellent moods for the duration of the day!
If you are friends with Missy or any of the Cle Elum Seven chimps on Facebook, you might have seen posts this morning about another birthday fundraiser. It’s not too late to participate- send us a $35 donation and I’ll email a special gift to you and a friend (be sure to put your friend’s email in the gift note section of the donation form). She’s celebrating with her friends, why don’t you celebrate with a friend as well?!

Negra looking tough?
Saturday, August 21st, 2010Negra 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
