JAMIE and friendship on the 5th Day of HOOT!

April 28, 2016 by Diana

I had a realization not long ago. It occurred to me that Jamie is one of my best friends. We have mutual interests (shoes, being outdoors, eating grapes), we’re generally happy to see each other, we have routines that have developed over time, and I think we’ve established a mutual respect for one another over the years, which has been heightened by the two of us working on Positive Reinforcement Training this last year.

You may have gathered from previous posts, that Jamie is not exactly obvious best friend material… but that’s part of what makes our friendship all the more meaningful to me.

For this 5th day of HOOT! with just two days left before the big event, I share with you this photo of my friend Jamie:

I have another friend that I would like to acknowledge today. Pam Lehnert and her husband Marc Warner. I am indebted to them both for helping to make HOOT! 2016 not just your average event, but a beautiful and (literally) heart-filled one.

Pam has been an event volunteer since our very first gala in 2009 and there is no way I would be organizing this level of event without her help.

Pam and Marc not only gave their time and labor towards HOOT!, they also are Chimpanzee Champion Sponsors of the event!

A big thanks to them and to all volunteers who helped plan and will be working on Saturday!

    This picture is a beautiful picture of Jamie. She looks likes she is smiling.
    Diana, what a wonderful realization to come to and how lucky you are to have Jamie for one of your best friends. That is indeed something to cherish.

    You are so fortunate! I think it would be such an honor to have Jamie as a friend, and it speaks volumes about you too Diana. Jamie is a photographers dream, her face is Mona-Lisa-esque. This image is one of my many favorites of her and I have been considering using it someplace special. : )
