Grass underfoot

April 19, 2012 by Debbie

These pictures just remind me how awesome it is that the Cle Elum Seven now get to spend time with grass under their feet after decades of small barren cages. Even after 7 months, it is still so amazing to see them out there.

    When I pull up to the sanctuary to volunteer one of the first things I see is one of those barren cages. sometimes I stop and try to imagine what it must have been like for them to spend years in that or a similar cage. It helps remind me to do the best I can to make that day as pleasant as I can for them. When I see them on the hill running and climbing and just playing in a vast space I wonder if they have memories of the cage and the windowless basement. I hope not, I hope they are wondering “How can it get any better then this?”. And then lunch was served……

    Oh Denice well put! I had the chance to climb in on of those cages and could only cringe at spending decades in there. I also hope hose memories are long gone. CSNW has gone a long way in making them be a very distant memory.
