Julie and Karen Olson are loyal friends and supporters of the chimpanzees and we’re thankful to Julie for giving us the opportunity to join in celebrating her sister, Karen, with a day of sanctuary.
“I am sponsoring this day of sanctuary in honor of my sister Karen’s birthday. She is the one who told me about the original Cle Elum 7 coming to live in Washington. I feel this is her favorite gift each year. She follows the blog daily and I do too. Happy Birthday Sis!”
Happy day from all of us here, Karen! We hope it’s a beautiful one! We appreciate you both.

Karen, I hope you have the most wonderful birthday! Thank you, Julie!
Karen, happiness and hoots to you on your special day!
Speaking of happiness, Jody and Foxie spying from the tower is one of my most treasured photos! (even more so now!) Just look at Jody on tiptoe! Thanks for these beautiful friendship images, Katelyn.
I agree, Kathleen. I am so glad that our dear Jody — and, indeed, Foxie and all of the chimpanzees and cattle at the sanctuary — are able to look up at the beauty of the Cascade Mountains.
And who knew that Jody and her friends would become such devotees of eating some of the snow that covers such mountains?
Kathleen and Tobin, Me too. It’s pictures like that that take my breath away.
Happy birthday Karen!
and thank you Julie!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY…..!!!!
Thank you, Karen, for this day of sponsorship! And for these great pics that were chosen for the day by Katelyn. I adore seeing the chimps holding hands and touching each other and having adventures together such as these. Such a delightful boon for them and for us!
Hope you have a wonderful year ahead Karen. Keep celebrating! Thank you Julie for including the fabulous Chimps in the birthday celebration!
