Happy Bunny Day
The chimps are having a great day thanks to their extended human family. The always stellar Robbi made wonderful Easter goodie bags filled with new toys and volunteers Stephanie and Katelyn arrived this morning with all sorts of edible treats. We stuffed plastic eggs with nuts and berries and scattered them around the greenhouse instead…

Hi all! I’m excited to be working my way back into the land of chimpanzees and the blog! I have a new “adopt a caregiver” request. Who wants to adopt JB? He’s been quite literally shivering his way through various projects in the garage/”shop.” The most exciting projects are welding – he just completed a welding course so…

Our enrichment theme for today is “Jody Day.” Why should Jody have to wait for her birthday to get all of her favorite things? So we put out lots of blankets and straw for nests, cattails, fresh produce from the garden, sunflowers, and buckets of soapy water. All the chimps seemed to enjoy their Jody…

Today we had a volunteer work party. About 15 people showed up, despite pretty dismal weather, to plant bamboo, pick pears, help clean up the property, and clean the greenhouse panels. Glamorous stuff! It takes a ton of work to keep things moving around here and we are SO incredibly grateful for all the support…

We put out tons of mirrors today because Foxie sometimes makes good use of them. But Jody was the one excited about them this morning! I was very excited to capture this angle: It’s not too late to make a $34 donation in Foxie’s honor today – you’ll get something fun in your inbox in…

We’re having a fun day here! We set up Foxie’s birthday party this morning outside. Of course there were many MANY trolls to distribute (including new ones from Stephanie P. and Kathy and Rob D.), troll print material from Candy C, incredible gift bags with all kinds of goodies from Robbi and Dick, and fruit…

Today is the third in a series of days sponsored by our generous volunteers (and chimps!) in honor of JB and Diana. We had a great party last night (for chimps and humans)! I know they are grateful for all the well wishes and congrats!
