Foxie sleeping in the outdoor area with a troll doll tucked in her leg and troll dolls aren’t just for Foxie these days, here’s Negra resting with a doll. Maybe she’s trying to figure out what the fuss is all about

This is getting fun! Today is the fourth in a series of Felicity Days. For her birthday this year, Felicity Wood asked/persuaded/cajoled her friends and family into donating to the sanctuary in lieu of birthday gifts.

Negra’s not the most active chimpanzee by a long shot, but she was all over the place yesterday. Here she is looking out her new window (the photos through the glass turn out blue, so I doctored it a bit. I like the reflection of the clouds). I love this expression! She even investigated some…

Today’s Felicity Day is from Deborah Kane-Wood. For Felicity’s birthday this year, she asked her friends and family to donate to the sanctuary in lieu of birthday gifts.

Read MoreNegra moments
The Cle Elum Seven are fortunate to have several caregivers, including a few volunteers who have gone through a long training process and are able to dedicate days each month to their care. I asked the caregivers for their favorite Negra moments or favorite aspects of her personality. I also took a few from caregiver…
Read MoreHappy Birthday, Negra!
You may have noticed in the video posted previously that we’ve been keeping a secret from you. On Friday, we replaced three caged windows with clear chimp-proof glass. Thanks to a generous donation from LUSH for two of the windows: And Anna Kircher and fellow blog readers for the third window (view of the garden!)…
