Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by the chimps’ good friends, Althea and Ahmad Dani, in honor of beloved Annie on her 42nd birthday!

“Happy Birthday Beautiful Annie! May this joyous occasion of your honorary birthday be filled with all of your favorites; vegetables, green onions to your hearts content, forages on your beloved hill and lots of glorious playtime with your best friend Missy. Safe and secure at sanctuary, you will never, ever be alone again. Each day now reveals a different layer of your once forced upon suppressed and imprisoned self. Just in case you didn’t know, you are gentle and couragious; daring and captivating; intelligent and thoughtful. Sing loud and joyously dear Annie. A whole bunch of us love and care about you so dearly. Pant hoots to this beautiful and charming lady that we call Annie!”

Althea and Ahmad, thank you so very much for sponsoring today for dear, sweet Annie! We so appreciate all that you do to bring joy, comfort and love to the Cle Elum 7 and those of their children who are fortunate enough to be residing at other sanctuaries.

Beautiful Annie, Happy Birthday!! May your gracious, gentle and courageous heart be filled with more love and joy than ever today as we celebrate the amazing person you are. May your day be filled with shenanigans with your beloved friend, Missy, green onions galore, stretchy “waist-band” couture, and everything else that makes you happy. We love you so much!!
