Ramona Isbell sponsored this special day of sanctuary in honor of our boss lady, Jamie, in celebration of her honorary 40th birthday! Or as it’s better known in the CSNW world, Jamieween! Ramona sent this message about her wonderful gift:
“Happy 40th Birthday Jamie! You and your friends have a blast of a day!! Love you, Ramona”
Jamie is one of the most intelligent, creative, willful, courageous people we know and we couldn’t have more admiration for her. With each passing year that we’re honored to know her, she surprises us with her beauty, strength, resiliency and adventurous and often mischievous – sometimes a little scary – spirit (hence, why we chose Halloween to celebrate her birthday!). You can learn more about Jamie here!
Ramona, thank you so very much for sponsoring today in honor of Jamie! It’s a celebration we look forward to all year long and we so appreciate your compassion and generosity in making Jamie’s day extra special for her and her chimp family!
Happy Jamieween, Jamie!! You are an incredibly special person and we love you so much! Here’s to a day and many years ahead of endless patrols around the hill (even in the pitch dark) for your adventurous soul (and of course, more cowboy boots than you or your caregivers could ever hope to wear on those adventures), projects and activities for your brilliant mind, and freedom and choice to express your amazing and creative heart. We love you, Jamie!!
Happy Jamieween Ramona and everyone!

HAPPY HAPPY JAMIEWEEN JAMIE!!! May you have you many many many many more ’cause I know your caretakers LOVE celebrating with you (I can’t imagine why ;o), and I’ve heard a rumor that you like it too! Gifts, yummy food, a sunny greenhouse (I hope), your family (even Burrito, who may not admit to loving you but we all know he does) and a walk with your favorite people, hairy and not. You and your friends have crept into my heart. I didn’t know what I was missing! Thank you for being who you are and may you enjoy today with a happy heart! xoxo

I LOVE you dear Jamie. For all the reasons Katelyn expressed above. You are an amazing person and you fill my heart with your courage, strength, sense of adventure, and love for boots! Endless admiration and love to you from me on your 40th birthday — I am so grateful I know you.
The story about Jamie patrolling Young’s Hill in the dark will always be my favorite, making that last photo one of my favorites too.
Let the Jamieween birthday festivities begin!

These photographs just about say it all about Ms. Jamie Chimpanzee: Advice Columnist, Tightrope walker, footwear expert, literary critic, fearless investigator of gift bags and nightlife on Young’s Hill. I wish her and her friends a very joyous Jamiewe’en.
