Missy has done nothing but crack me up all day today! I posted a short version of the following story on Missy’s Facebook page this morning, but I thought I would share it here as well. When I arrived this morning, I was first greeted by Negra, who was sitting in her nest in her…

A lot of good people came together to pull off an awesome birthday/mother’s day bash for our Jody Chimpanzee!

Read MoreGum
Enrichment comes in many shapes and sizes. We give the chimps gum from time to time, because not only is it good for the chimps’ teeth (we try to stick to Spry Brand gum, which has Xylitol in it- a natural sweetener that is also good for your teeth), but it gives them something interesting…

Today’s sponsor-a-day is from Monica Best. Monica has named this day “Love a Chimpanzee Day” in memory of her cat, Ozzie. You may remember last years’ Love a Chimpanzee Day celebration. Monica sent so much good stuff for the chimps- it was so much fun! Well, she’s done it again and we have an exciting…

Today’s sponsor-a-day is from Lisa Siegfried in memory of Treyson. Sponsoring a day is such a wonderful way to both remember someone and to celebrate the Cle Elum Seven at the same time. So, on behalf of comfy Negra (below) and the entire CSNW team, thanks so much, Lisa.
