Celebrating Margaret and Karen

December 10, 2012 by Elizabeth -

Share with your friends!

Yesterday, longtime friends of the Cle Elum Seven Margaret and Karen got married in Seattle. Margaret and Karen are truly beloved by anyone who meets them. They are bright and warm and kind. They have possibly the biggest hearts of anyone you’ll ever meet.

We wanted to celebrate their joy, so today we put out the happiest, most colorful enrichment we could find. The chimpanzees spent quite some time taking inventory.

Jamie:

Appropriately enough, the weather at the sanctuary is gorgeous and sunny today and the chimpanzees have been feeling pretty carefree. Annie and Missy enjoyed a lazy game of chase in the greenhouse this afternoon.

We’re so happy for you, Margaret and Karen. Lots of love from CSNW!

    Thank you, thank you everyone including our Special Seven who took careful inventory of their “stuff” in our honor. It was great to see so much of it laid out. And thank you for all the good wishes from the CSNW staff, volunteers and supporters. We are so happy to be among you. Our wedding day had many of truly magical events in it. We are still reeling as we recall them together. How fortunate we are to know so many humans and individuals of other species who LOVE.
