Carrie Miller sponsored today for Sylvia Gandolfo and her pal, beloved Annie! These two wonderful, long-time supporters of the sanctuary and their family lovingly gift one another with gifts for the chimpanzees every chance they get!
“Happy birthday to Sylvia and everyday best wishes to your chimpanzee pal, Annie!”
Carrie and Sylvia, we are so grateful to you for the love you hold in your hearts for the chimpanzees and the difference you’ve made in their lives.
Sylvia, all of us wish you the happiest of days! Thanks for loving Annie. We think she’s pretty wonderful and amazing, too. 🙂

I know the big Hoot party tonight will be a great success…I’ll be thinking of you all this evening & so wishing I could be there to show my deep love for the Chimp’s, ( & of course the “Bovines”… : ) the Sanctuary, & everyone who is involved in their forever wellbeing…God bless every animal on the planet that is in need of human intervention & all those who work so tirelessly on their behalf…You’re SO admirable, & literally make me weak in the knees with your kind & loving spirits…I can’t go a day without visiting the CSN blog…I read every single word & study every photo…The blog is so wonderfully done making so many people around the World greatly happy…
BTW, what has Miss Annie tied around her waist…Looks like it could be a tape measure or long piece of wheat…s m I l e s

For the past couple of summers, Annie the Fashionista has been rockin’ a headband around her midriff. I don’t know if it’s quite yet headband season for her, but don’t be surprised if you see a photograph or footage of Annie wandering about making yet another summertime fashion statement. Of course, I think that the Cle Elum Eleven are always very well-dressed; after all, a girl like Annie has to wear her basic black.

BTW…Every time I post a comment I find myself wishing I could write with a degree of eloquence like so many of your posters’ do regularly…In use you’re curious, I’m now a “Senior Citizen” with a lifetime of having such a powerful love & curiosity about all animals, but Great Apes fascinate me beyond explanation…
Hope everyone is having a joyful weekend…

Hi Debi, thanks so much for being here and for your heartfelt comments. We truly appreciate it. 🙂 Annie is wearing a, unbelievably, sweatband around her little waist. It’s been a thing, as Tobin noted, in the spring/summer, but who knows if it’s still on trend or over. Either way, we find it adorable. 🙂
