Yesterday was hot, hot, hot here in Cle Elum, so the chimps spent quite a bit of time lounging around their indoor playroom. As you can see, Jamie is still rarely caught without a pair of cowboy boots (notice she has one by her head and another in her hip pocket).

Jamie then and now
Sanctuary supporter Tamela just sent me an email with the photos below – Jamie the day she arrived at the sanctuary, and the photo of Jamie that Jackie took yesterday.
These photos side by side brought tears to my eyes – tears of joy for the last two years that we’ve known Jamie at the sanctuary and tears of sadness for the first 30 years of Jamie’s life spent living with an animal trainer then in biomedical research.
I have a feeling that we will all be experiencing this mixed joy and sadness this whole week leading up to June 13, 2010 – the 2nd anniversary of the chimpanzees’ arrival.
Thank you all for helping to make Jamie’s second chance at life possible.
