Personalized gifts from friends

We have so many supporters that have been sending us so many wonderful things for the chimps. Among this long list of individuals are Diane and Syd Marcus. They have sent us countless gifts over the last 2 years, and last week, they sent a huge box of personalized presents for each of the chimps, including an amazing pair of (vegan!) cowgirl boots for Jamie, a beaded necklace for Burrito, a scarf for Annie, a troll doll for Foxie, a new pair of socks for Missy, nuts for Negra, and cereal for Jody. The chimps definitely knew something was up! Jamie, as always, was beside herself when she spotted the boots and Foxie dropped all 5 trolls that she had with her in exchange for her brand new troll, who she promptly took outside for some private time. It was a good day… Thanks so much, Diane and Syd!

    Diane and Syd Marcus you two are something else, the CE7 are very blessed to have the both of you as friends. This Texas girl has seen a lot of cowboy boots and these boots are mighty fine, I love that they are vegan.

    I love the troll doll’s outfit, especially the pants, now if Foxie can keep Jamie away from the troll doll’s hair, for a little while anyway. I hope Missy and Annie let Burrito try on those beads, but you know girls love jewelry.

    Awwww……lovely photos of gifts given lovingly. Thanks so much Diane and Syd and Jackie! I especially love the look on Foxie’s face as she “loves” her new troll doll.

    What a great idea! And how very thoughtful and generous. 🙂

    Was it hard to make sure each chimp got “their” gift? Or was there ‘pushing and shoving’? LOL!
