Foxie nesting!! and Jamie’s new method for carrying trolls
Foxie was genuinely nesting with a blanket this morning and even lied down on it ever-so-briefly! She was really happy about her new speedo troll doll with yellow hair from yesterday. I tied a yellow scarf to the troll and gave it (him?) back to Foxie – this occurred right before the nesting. Jamie seemed…

Here are a few still shots from yesterday I had to take one “before” shot of the cornbread peeps and the Passover Harrosset on Matzah (hope I got that right!). We really can’t thank the volunteers and supporters enough for making Easter, and everyday, such a treat for the Cle Elum Seven and the CSNW…

Fun with trolls

When she’s not playing with Jamie, Jody, Missy or Burrito, she play games of catch-the-troll with her caregivers. And if we’re busy? Well, she just invents…

Read MoreJody and the toy chimpanzee
Jody didn’t quite know what to make of the plastic chimp toy we put out for enrichment the other day. She decided to take things into her own hands and threw a “car” at the toy. She got out of the way in case the toy retaliated.
Read MoreEaster enrichment-making party
For those who live in the Seattle area, Jeani is organizing another enrichment party to put together fun stuff for the chimpanzees’ first Easter/Spring celebration. She is thinking of meeting at the end of March. Check out this post for photos of the last enrichment party – talk about kooky! Join the fun! Learn more…
Read MoreFoxie playing in mirror, continued
I caught a couple of still photos the other day when Foxie was playing with her troll-in-the-sock while watching herself in the mirror. Missy did persist in trying to get Foxie’s attention and eventually engaged Foxie in play. I think they are both “kooks” 🙂
