This amazing day of sanctuary was sponsored by Shirley Wooten, Chimpanzee Pal to the boss lady herself, Jamie, in honor of Jamie’s 42nd birthday today!! Shirley shared this really lovely note about her gift today:
“Happy Birthday Jamie! Thank you to her caregivers and to the supporters of CSNW for giving Jamie choices, lots of space, more freedom than she has ever had, and the enrichment her active mind needs. Thank you for giving her the opportunity to be the leader she was born to be, Jamie is a very special lady and I hope she has a very special day.”
Shirley, thank you SO much for thinking of Jamie and sponsoring her honorary Halloween birthday, or as it’s known here at the sanctuary, Jamieween!!
If you’ve ever had the honor of meeting Jamie here at the sanctuary or have gotten to know her through our daily blog, you know she’s one of the most intelligent, creative, amazing (and sometimes intimidating) people you will meet. To the Lady Trickster herself, Happy Birthday, Jamie! We could not be more in awe of, or in love with, you.
To Jamie: Happy Jamieween Birthday, beautiful soul! ?
Happy Birthday Jamie! I have you beat by three years, but you look better and have way more energy than this 45 year old! I look forward to your daily antics, and I completely understand about the counterclockwise thing! If it ain’t right, then it ain’t right!! Have a great day sweet girl!
Lol, see, people don’t get it…. Jamie has a lot to keep track of! So her mental checklist is in a particular order ( Like when you make your grocery list for a particular store, but then have to go to a different one, and things are not in the same places or order as at the other one,). Going in another direction throws it all off!
Seriously, though, people do it too. Go to a large farmers’ market like Madison, WI, and you’ll get dirty looks for going against the flow, regardless of which -wise it is!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to the Boss of Halloween!
Exactly Linda! You’re so right about the grocery store! LOL
Happy Birthday, lovely lady! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy 42nd Birthday, Jamie.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE!!! Wishing the entire cast and crew of CSNW a joyous day on this momentous occasion. Great photos 🙂
Happy day Jamie!! I just love the photos of you. They show how smart, inquisitive, athletic and ready for any challenge. And very beautiful too, with your sly grin and knowing eyes. What a thrill it would be to meet you, and your growing family!! You are an inspiration in a world that is often short of it.
Happy Halloween birthday Jamie! You are getting better with age! Congratulations on being such an amazing chimp lady and an inspiration to so many.
Happy Birthday/Jamieween to the Boss of my heart! Hope you and your extended family are enjoying an epic celebration today! Love you, girlfriend 😀
Happy Birthday Jamie,
I love you so much.
And a happy Jamie-ween to all
With a heart full of love and respect for my gorgeous friend Jamie, I send wishes to come true for everything you want and need. You deserve it all. I am so lucky to know you. Thanks CSNW for Jamie being Jamie.
That very top photograph says it all about today’s birthday boss: adventurous, curious, intelligent, indomitable, spirited. I wish the wise and wonderful, bold and beautiful Jamie Chimpanzee a happy Jamieween birthday celebration, and an enjoyable new year of reminding one and all who is boss around this here territory! (and who does — and, er, certainly does not — meet her expectations of installing and operating a howdy door. Professor Jamie knows that J.B. and co. can do better).
Happy Halloween Birthday to you dearest Jamie. Hope this is your best birthday yet:)
I’m so glad you have so much love around you.
