Today was also generously sponsored by Jim Horton in honor of his mother, Vicki Fagerlee, for her birthday! We are so touched by Vicki’s family who have come together throughout the day to celebrate Vicki and the chimpanzees who mean so much to her!
Jim, thank you so much for honoring your mother in such a thoughtful way! What an amazing gift to be able to make a difference in the lives of these seven special individuals as you all celebrate someone who is so special to you.
Happy Birthday, Vicki, from all of the primates at Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW!! Thank you so much for sharing your heart with the chimpanzees and including them in your special day! We are so grateful to you and your family for ensuring that for all their days forward, the chimps’ lives will be full of love, family and home.
And since you share a birthday month with the boss lady, Jamie, I thought we should recall all the pumpkin joy this month brings. If the chimps could send you a birthday wish, they might say with any luck you have your own head stuck inside a yummy pumpkin right now! 😉 But we humans just hope you have something like a nice cake or anything made of chocolate that brings you equal happiness. 🙂

Burrito. Of course.
So very precious !! Love them to bits ! <3
Burrito is such a clown!
I love this post! Those pictures are priceless ….
Yes, each one of these photos are priceless! Especially Foxie and Burrito! Still laughing!!
Burrito, Burrito, Burrito. A hairy bundle of comic relief. What a clown… If we can define chimpanzee happiness by what they do, I think every single one of the Cle Elum is happy, content, and secure. The only thing we can ask is that more chimps will be freed to share in the well-deserved good life.
