Happy Birthday, Ben!

Laura Bradshaw sponsored this day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in celebration of Ben Bradshaw on his birthday and shared this lovely message about her gift:

“Ben loves the wonderful residents of CSNW because the fabulous people there have done an amazing job of helping all of us get to know them. Without meeting them in person, we feel ourselves lift whenever we see their faces, or feet, or other random body parts. Thank you for allowing the CSNW critters to be a part of Ben’s birthday celebration.”

Laura and Ben, thank you for your kind words, we’re so happy knowing the chimpanzees bring so much joy to your lives, especially during these unprecedented times. And we’re thrilled that you chose to include them in Ben’s celebration! Thank you for making a difference in theirs lives with your generous hearts.

Happiest of days to you, Ben, from all of us here at CSNW!

Mave!

    Happiest of birthday wishes for Ben…Laura, what a perfect way to celebrate this special day…Just imagine how grateful the sanctuary is to have supporters like you…I understand your comment about being able to be “lifted” by just seeing a partial image of the chimps…I have some vision difficulties, so it took me quite awhile to start being able to recognize them individually, & I will smile & be “lifted” with a closeup of any part of anyone…ALL chimps have always been very close to my heart…

    Miss Mave looks like she’s seriously contemplating just how good lunch is going to be & maybe secretly hoping that refreshing smoothies will also be served to her & her friends…(I love this photo of her with the index finger justing below her pursed lips as if she’s deep in thought…Which I’m sure she was…

    BTW, what in the world is that inside goofy, Mr.Burrito’s mouth??? It looks too white & smooth to be a favorite “ice pop”???
    I’m still trying to guess…HaHa

    Hope everyone has a most enjoyable weekend…

      Hi Debi,

      Yup, Burrito has a chow bag wadged up in his mouth (the little white lunch sacks we put the chimps’ primate chow in). 🙂
