    My heart is happy to see how Mr. B is so comforting to Negra with the arm around hug he gives her, the two of them have a special relationship.

    What an amazing two weeks I have missed at the Sanctuary!! I just returned from Guatemala and spent a large part of today catching up on the Chimps! Everything video was spectacular! The quality of the video is amazing! Way to go board of directors!! Can’t wait for all the events of 2011!!

    Best in the New Year to all!

    The squeaks, the grunts! Can never get enough of those happy sounds. The food in the hands gets me every time!

    I will never stop being amazed by how gentle Foxie is, with even the tiniest troll doll.

    Who am I kidding……………..they are all amazing!!

    LOL You are so right Linda! They are all amazing! I did enjoy Burrito with his arm around Negra when they first went in. And yes the sqeaks and grunts, who can get enough of those, not me!!! Foxie you will always amaze me, whether it is gently playing with your dolls or spinning them around as you spin in circles. Everyone is so much fun to watch for theier own unique qualities. Happy New Year to the 7 and the Caregivers.

    I am so pleased to be a chimp pal . Happy New Year to all the Chimps, care givers and friend of the chilmps. We are so fortunate to be able to share the enjoyment of the Chimps in action.

    There is only one thing better to hear than grunts and squeaks and that is chimp laughter. It warms my heart to see how very happy these chimps are. Such a big difference in them in 2 years. They are loving life and it shows! Happy New Year to all the staff and to my seven friends who I love to bits!
