Wine tasting success!
Thanks to everyone who came out last night to the wine tasting event in Roslyn. It was a great success! And it was so wonderful to see and meet so many supporters from the local (and regional) community. The chimps are lucky to have such a devoted following! To make sure the chimps got to enjoy…

Today Missy had more adventures in the fresh air. Jamie, Foxie and Annie were all outside too, but no one was playing with Missy. She ran inside and came right back out with this blanket. Instantly she had a game of chase going! I love the second picture – Jamie got the blanket away from…

Related captive chimpanzees are scattered all around the country. As some of you know, one of Foxie’s daughters, Angie, and one of Annie’s sons, Virgil, live at Save the Chimps. StC is the amazing sanctuary behind the take-over of the now-defunct Coulston Foundation, among other feats. The chimpanzees at StC’s New Mexico facility are gradually all…
Read MoreI could use a sunny day…
For our response to the tragic situation in Connecticut, click here. It’s sunny in Cle Elum! For me, that’s reason enough to celebrate. Enjoy these pics of Jamie (with her emery board!), Foxie, and Jody and Annie!
Read MoreAlways busy!
Here’s a video to illustrate what we mean when we say that Jamie is always busy. A quick synopsis: get a new drink container (thanks Makenzie!), inspect, drink, share with Foxie, remove straw. Get some paper (she loves paper that has already been scribbled on), get some crayons, poke at Sarah, color. Get some more…
Read MoreA day of plenty
This morning we put out at least 50 trolls. Many of them had almonds in their bodies as a little troll “forage.” So Foxie had a wide array of companions today! Tonight, she was the last one to come in for dinner. She came in and out of the front rooms a few times before…

I took a bunch of pics today (outside in the fresh snow) but none of them are impressive, so I’m stealing some from JB. Here are some more from a playful day outside recently. Enjoy!
Read MoreTrolls: Not just for Foxie!
Of course most readers know that Foxie is almost never seen without one of her beloved troll dolls. People send them to her from all over the country! Somewhat less known – Jamie and Jody also frequently play with troll dolls. At breakfast this morning Jamie and Jody each had troll dolls in their pelvic…
Read MoreA game of catch
Another very nice feature of the facility here is that the chimps can reach their arms out between the pipes that make the “roof” of the outdoor area. Since it’s high up in the air, the chimps can’t reach out and grab us (yay) but they can reach out to throw stuff at us (also…
Read MoreBurrito on the lookout
Our building is designed so that the chimps can see what’s going on. They can see into the kitchen, so they can watch us making their meals and see who’s coming and going. They can see the UPS truck and other folks coming up the driveway too. I snapped this picture of Mr. B when…

Check out these funny-looking chimpanzees I found in the kitchen today!
Read MoreWeather!
We’ve been hearing from people all over the country, wondering how the weather is affecting us here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. It’s been a pretty dramatic few days – the local area has mudslides, avalanches, and lots of flooding. But rest assured, the chimps are on high ground (literally!) and we are all safe and…
