Yesterday 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).

    It is such a joy to see you back to yourself, Jamie and taking care of your boots.

    Jamie looks ‘marvelous’ even in this heat… she sure puts me to shame!!!

    I can’t believe the red, white and blue boots have lasted this long. There’s nothing like cool concrete on a hot summer day.

    Chimp Haven, in Louisiana, use misters to keep their chimps cool.

    I think for the chimps to be able to do what they want is the best thing of all! Chillin out included!

    So glad you have Sanctuary:Year One, Peter. We are working hard on Sanctuary:Year Two right now so you have something to look forward to.

    Hi Margaret & Karen, It must be very rewarding seeing all the hard work and the fact that the Chimpanzees look so well.Will definitely look forward to Year Two coming out.

    The Sanctuary: Year One has one of my favourite photos in that I found in the Archive section. Its the one with Jamie and her blue crocheted hat on,Now that’s always going to make me smile.
