Thursday, June 11th, 2009Watch Seattle’s King 5 tonight
Thursday, June 11th, 2009On Tuesday, the Cle Elum City Council passed a proclamation to make the Cle Elum Seven honorary citizens of the city. The Daily Record published a story about this, which was picked up by the Associated Press earlier today.
This afternoon Gary Chittim from King 5, who was here the day the chimps arrived, came out today to see how the Cle Elum Seven are doing a year later.
The story will be on the news tonight – tune in!
King 5 also has a new blog called Pet Dish, and Katherine Sather wrote about the proclamation today on that blog.
Calling cards available!
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009You can now support the Cle Elum Seven by giving out calling cards (smaller than a business card) to everyone you meet! You can purchase the cards from our online store. The nominal cost of $1.00 for a pack of 25 plus the shipping fees will cover the costs of printing more and the shipping and handling. So buy lots and give out freely!
To refresh your memory about the awesome calling cards, refer to the post about WIGT Printing’s Valentine’s gift of the cards to the sanctuary. WIGT is located in California, but they can ship out their printing jobs all over, so check them out for your next printing job – they are super friendly and professional.
Below are photos of the cards. Aren’t they great?
Negra rockin’ out
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Ok, so I am officially a dunce with regard to lighting videos. Apparently when shooting straight into the bright sunlight, everything else gets dark. Who knew?! But this is such a cool video of Negra, I thought I’d post it anyway. Negra loves to watch us dance for her. When we do, she bobs her head along. This video is of her watching JB dance – to Bruce Springsteen of course!
Serving dinner now
Friday, June 13th, 2008I know you all are anxiously awaiting photos – and I promise to post some more tonight. Right now J.B. and Keith are serving dinner, and I’m in the kitchen listening to very content sounds as J.B. gives out fresh peppers, carrots and apples. I’m preparing oatmeal – the Cle Elum Seven’s first cooked meal in their new home! Diana
Cle Elum Seven home at last!
Friday, June 13th, 2008All seven chimpanzees, now to be known as the Cle Elum Seven, are safe in their new sanctuary home! The transfer went incredibly smoothly and the chimpanzees are very calm and clearly happy to be here. Negra, Burrito, Missy, Annie, and Jamie have been taking turns looking out the window (Negra seems to dominate that space). They’ve been playing with each other and eating the fresh fruit that was donated this morning. You might see the chimpanzees on King 5 or Komo 4 tonight if you’re in Seattle or KAPP 35 in Yakima! And the story of their arrival will be showing up in various newspapers too. This photo, though, says it all.
Twas the Night Before Freedom
Thursday, June 12th, 2008It’s 8pm on Thursday night, and I’m so excited to share the latest report on the “Freedom Van,” as one of our favorite people is calling it. We expect them to pull in tomorrow morning around 8:30am PT.
Things are so exciting around here! Amidst all the preparations for the chimpanzees (like sorting enrichment, chopping fruit, and organizing the kitchen) I keep thinking about what a new beginning tomorrow will be. It holds a lot of potential firsts for our seven new friends: first blankets, first smoothies, first oatmeal, first view of the beautiful Yakima River! But most importantly, the first day of freedom. We hope our new friends will never look back. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to tell them what’s in store? Stay tuned for more tomorrow!
