Read Morethe walking club
Unless this is your first time visiting the blog (if so, welcome!!), you probably know about Jamie’s obsession with walking around the perimeter of Young’s Hill while one or more of her human caregivers walks around the outside of the perimeter while wearing a cowboy boot. She has been doing this multiple times a day…
Read MoreRedfin Party Video!
We had some awesome donations from Redfin left over from the party a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to throw a second Redfin party! We managed to get some video too (see below). Negra was definitely the star of this party, and both she and Jody got the most out of the terrific…

Read Morean unfortunate privilege
We were fortunate to have spent a bit of time with Dr. Sheri Speede and some volunteers for IDA Africa when they were in the area the last few days as part of Dr. Speede’s book signing tour for her new book Kindred Beings. She relayed something that we all had in common. It’s related…
Read MoreChimpanzee Parkour
Last week, I posted a photo of Missy on her Facebook page leaping off of the termite mound. Her friend Debra Durham commented on the photo, “parkour!” I thought to myself, “exactly!” If you haven’t heard of parkour, well, you can thank me for letting you in on what, just two days ago, ABC news…

Read MoreHow do you know where you are if you don’t know where you’ve been?
I decided to do a little retrospective of the blog today and found the posts around this time for the last five years. It’s interesting what’s changed, what’s remained the same, and what’s entirely different. Today I posted this photo on Burrito’s Facebook page and described him as handsome: . And today volunteers Lynn and…
Read MoreJamie and Foxie vs the GoPro
If you follow the sanctuary on Facebook, you’ll know that this is posting a bit later than usual because Jamie decided she wanted to take several post-dinner walks around Young’s Hill tonight. It’s a beautiful end-of-summer evening, so of course I could not refuse the request. Once she was satisfied, I came back in to…
