Our beloved ex-circus monkey Charlie passed away Friday the 16th. He had heart disease and compromised lungs. His body was shutting down and it got to the point where we had to make a call. Charlie was a big part of the sanctuary, there is now a huge hole where Charlie was. We are very grateful we had the opportunity to give Charlie a nice peaceful retirement.
Charlie was special. We walked him up to see his bunnies in his outdoor enclosure every nice day. If Charlie was ever upset he would bite his own knee, he didn’t like making eye contact or having his photo taken, he would turn his back to the camera. Charlie loved Jim’s rice risotto; he would shove big handfuls into his mouth. Charlie really was one of a kind.
We have started putting brushwood up around the Hawk enclosure (they are loving the extra privacy), planted more flax, trimmed hooves and groomed the horses and ponies. The whether has been fantastic for it and it is meant to stay nice for a few more days. We have opened up Laurie’s (the monkey) enclosure; he and his best friend Jungle (the cat) now play with the giant bunnies, Jelly and Bean, who lived with Charlie.
We will be at the Wellington vegetarian expo this Saturday the 1st of October. It is from 10am to 4pm at St John’s in the city (corner of Willis and Dixon Street). We have HUHA tee’s we will be selling. Hope to see you there.
