By Jackie | July 16, 2010 |

Once again, last month’s Chimps’ Choice– acidophilus and gummy vitamins- was a huge success! We did, however, receive a few packages that did not have names on them, so if you sent some, please send me an email ([email protected]) and let me know so I can be sure to send you all bumper stickers! For…

CSNW Caregiver Exercise Program

By Jackie | July 13, 2010 |

Next to Missy, Burrito and Foxie are probably CSNW’s biggest goofs (chimp-wise, anyway) and balancing games of chase between the two of them can be quite a workout. I couldn’t ask for better personal trainers. 🙂

Summer Loungin’

By Jackie | July 9, 2010 |

Yesterday was hot, hot, hot here in Cle Elum, so the chimps spent quite a bit of time lounging around their indoor playroom. As you can see, Jamie is still rarely caught without a pair of cowboy boots (notice she has one by her head and another in her hip pocket).

Fourth of July Celebration

By Jackie | July 5, 2010 |

Yesterday got a little hectic, as often happens when working with chimps, so we decided to postpone our Fourth of July Celebration until today. Brandon Wood (check out his blog!), our amazing 9-year-old supporter, sponsored our party in honor of supporter Theresa Strunk’s birthday (surprise, Theresa!). He sent this awesome box of goodies for the…

Sunny summer weather= playful, happy chimps!

By Jackie | June 25, 2010 |

Here’s a pretty cute video I caught yesterday with Missy and Burrito playing. Just before this (and before I had a chance to get the camera) Missy had covered herself (head and all) with a pink blanket, and was chasing Burrito around the playroom. She looked like a pink snuffaluffagus! 🙂

Diana took some pretty awesome pictures of Jody cuddling with a giant stuffed dog the other day. You may have seen it on Jody Chimpanzee’s facebook page, but I wanted to share them here. So adorable!

New Chimps’ Choice Item!

By Jackie | June 16, 2010 |

We received such a wonderful response to last month’s Chimps’ Choice item, Protein Powder, which we add to the chimpanzees’ breakfast smoothie. Thank you so much to all who participated! This month, we’ve taken inventory and are in need of chewable vitamins and acidophilus, which are both available on our Amazon Wishlist. We appreciate all…

Window installation day

By Jackie | June 15, 2010 |

Window installation day was last Friday, so the chimps had to be locked out of the playroom for the entire day. I did all I could to keep them busy so they wouldn’t get too bored or anxious during the construction, though they really didn’t seem to mind and were pretty interested to see what…
