Share with your friends!

Enjoy your day tomorrow!

As the video above expresses, everyone here is incredibly grateful and honored that you choose to spend your time on this blog and thinking about the chimpanzees and bovines at the sanctuary.

I received an unexpected call today about a Valentine’s Day gift that I will be sharing tomorrow to e-news subscribers!

In the meantime, the news from the day is that Burrito has a new favorite toy. Another gift from Trees for Tigers! Below are a couple of photos and I posted a short video clip on our Instagram account.

      Oh Diana this video is such a lovely and happy video. How wonderful to see the faces of the beautiful new Chimps that will be blessed to call CSNW their new home. And Burrito looks so content with that mirror. Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. Sending hugs.

    “Dang, I look good!”
    I wonder if he’ll have to share this with Foxie or someone else! What a great gift!
    Looking forward to tomorrow’s party!

    It isn’t very hard to love ALL beautiful creatures ( humans included ) that have a home at the sanctuary.
    Wonderful to have pictures by the ( new) names now…I cannot wait.

    FABULOUS VIDEO, LOVED THE MUSIC, FLOATING HEARTS. Great job putting this together. You made my valentine-less day a bit cheerier.

    La La LaLa, I love you all! And my heart just found a new little space to squish in the new chimps!! What a joy to finally see all their faces. I need to play the video again and pause on the new crew so I can drink them in.

    Thanks for this sweet video. And I just love Mr. B and his “boomer-mirror-wobble” toy! We need one of those of Willy B.

    Happy “Fill Your Heart With Love Day” to all.

      Thank you, Kathleen, for the giant space in your heart! We appreciate you! There’s a rocker mirror on the other side with Willy B, Mave, and Honey B too! I’m sure there will be videos in the future 🙂

        I should have known the other side would have one too!

        I forgot to say how much I enjoyed being up close to see the bovines enjoying their meal in this video. Loved the soft munching sounds they make and the way they toss the hay with their noses.

    Love Burrito’s mirror, and it looks like he does, too. Do the new six know the Californians?
    Lovely Valentine’s message. Thank you for the wonder of CSNW and all of you!

      Hi Mo! Yes, some of them – Terry and Dora lived with Honey B and Willy B at Wildlife Waystation years ago.

    What a terrific Valentine’s Day gift, thank you. Can’t wait to have the addition of more chimps under your personal care and our loving support.

    Well, I just heard a gurgling sound at 3 am, and ran out to find my washing machine discharging water all over my mud room and kitchen, and I wasn’t even washing clothes. Thank you -25 plumbing freezing weather! So after using all the towels and blankets in my house to mop up the mess, I was so soothed by this video, and reminded that there is great hope in the world. The little, temporary messes are of no consequence, it’s the bigger things that matter. Thank you, as always, for this reminder.

      Oh no! I hope that was the last of your plumbing woes, Betsy!
