Many thanks to Kim Harris for adding to the celebration of Earth Day in honor of the chimpanzees and bovines! Kim generously sponsored today as a way to celebrate her own special day!

“I happen to share my birthday with Earth Day, so seems to be as good a day as any to do my tiny part contributing to the love and care of these magnificent beings. Following their lives through your blog is a gift to me, and I would like to return the kindness in this small measure. Happy Earth Day to Jamie, Jody, Burrito, Annie, Negra, Missy, Foxie, Willy B, Honey B, Mave, Nutmeg, Betsy, Honey and Meredith!”

Happy Birthday, Kim! What a wonderful day to be born on! Thank you for your kind heart and choosing to make a difference for our chimpanzee and cattle families on this beautiful day.

    The bovines…..colors are just gorgeous! The hair looks like it’s short like a shar pei. Do they feel like velvet?

      Nicole, they are gorgeous. 🙂 They aren’t huge lovers of us petting them a lot, haha, but they are pretty soft. That photo is actually from last spring/summer when their hair is shorter, in the winter they are super floofy!

    Happy Earth Day Birthday to you Kim! Makes me think of the Beatles song “Mother Natures Son” but in your case “Daughter”.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. I was lucky enough to be born April 22 1970, the actual day Earth Day was created. Maybe that karma influenced my love of nature and animals. ?

    I love this sassy pic of Meredith! She couldn’t have struck a better pose for the camera!
