Happy Birthday, Arlene!

August 19, 2020 by Katelyn

Michael sponsored this beautiful summer day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and bovines in honor of his wife, Arlene, and shared, “I would like to dedicate this day to my beautiful wife’s birthday!!”

Michael and Arlene are long-time friends of the sanctuary who have such kind and gracious hearts and we are so happy to be able to celebrate with them today!

Michael, I just think it’s the most wonderful and inspiring way to honor someone you love by celebrating their life through making the lives of others better. Thanks for lifting so many hearts today in honor of Arlene!

Happy Birthday, Arlene! All of us here are wishing you the happiest of days! Though in the midst of these gobsmackingly challenging times we find ourselves in, there is so much beauty and joy still surrounding us and you always seem to have a way of finding and sharing that. We hope this birthday is one to remember in all the best ways. Thank you both, for all the good you help ensure surrounds the chimpanzees and bovines and for being part of our sanctuary family.

Beautiful Annie:

    Reading today’s dedication, Arlene would be a good name for a female chimp!
    Do your chimpanzees already have a name when you rescue them,
    or are they just numbers(sad)?

      Hi Marie, yes, they do arrive with their names.:) Chimpanzees were usually given names and numbers (the numbers having typically been tattooed on their body) during their time in the labs.

        Just reading about the tattooing of such intelligent & innocent animals like chimps, stabs at my heart…It really does…Being another sickening reminder of the horrors of Auschwitz…

    This post makes me so happy. Thank you to my sweet husband for sponsoring today for my birthday. I am delighted to be able to celebrate with the chimps and bovine at CSNW. Thank you Katelyn for the beautiful pictures and kind words. This is such a special and touching gift. And Marie thank you so much for your mention of my name for a female chimp. It’s such a nice compliment. Thank you Linda C too. I’m having a wonderful birthday. Feeling blessed. Hugs to all.

      A belated Happy Birthday, Arlene…I hope it was a day full of smiling & laughter…

      I always enjoy reading the comments you & Michael leave…What a thoughtful husband he is because what an honor it must be to celebrate one’s birthday by celebrating it with, & sponsoring, these magnificent chimps, & don’t EVEN get me started on Meredith, Honey & Nutmeg…I’ll likely start gushing…grins
