Spring has Sprung

April 22, 2020 by Kelsi

Since spring has sprung, so has Jamie! Jamie has been taking full advantage of these beautiful spring days and even the not so nice ones. Yesterday, well today too, Jamie and I were walking machines! If we were not walking we were grooming. All day it felt like someone was watching me. If I went to get water or start on a project she would appear, better yet, if she couldn’t see me she would stare into the camera by the playroom and wait for me to come. Seriously, nothing gets past Jamie, which is why she is so amazing. Once she would get my attention, she would take off running onto the Hill! Even when it was time for everyone to go home and Young’s Hill was closed off she wasn’t ready. So, Jamie groomed, her still favorite, XTRATUF boots in the green house for a little bit longer. Because it is spring now, Jamie needs to be doing extra patrols. There are cattle in the pasture next to the Hill and she needed to make sure that Honey B, Willy B, and Mave are being closely monitored in the Chute. She is a busy person. To be honest, because our days in the chimp house are a bit busier now, it was nice to be able to spend some quality time with her, and know that she got to do everything she wanted to do that day! All in all, when you get that feeling of someone watching you, it’s probably Jamie. 😉

Here is a rare photo of Jamie laying down yesterday:

Jamie saw Chad wearing his cattle boots during our walk and demanded he join us! Missy, Burrito, Honey, Meredith, Nutmeg, and Betsy came too.

In Elaine’s memory

April 22, 2020 by Katelyn

As we celebrate Earth Day, how wonderful to begin the day with this day of sanctuary sponsored by Jackie Pordon, in memory of her mom, Elaine Pordoll, on her birthday:

“My mom loved all animals big & small. She would have been so interested in the Cle Elum seven and the new additions to the group. A big thank you to all who care for them.”

What a wonderful day to get to remember your mom and celebrate her kind spirit. Thank you, too, Jackie, for all you do for our sanctuary family as you carry on your mom’s legacy. We’re hoping today finds your heart comforted by your memories and love of your mom. Thanks for allowing us to celebrate her with you.
