Thanks so much to long-time friend of the sanctuary, Virginia Keulen, for sponsoring a day of sanctuary as a way to so kindly celebrate her own special day!

“I just wanted to sponsor a day for the chimps on my birthday.”

Happy Birthday, Virginia! We hope you have a wonderful day and new year ahead and are so happy to get to share in your celebration.

    Great pictures, especially Mave, think she’s meditating.

      I had the same thought….
      Thanking the Universe for the lovely food she is about to receive….

    Happy Birthday, Virginia & thanks for honoring your day with the chimps. I also adore the pics of Burrito flying through the air and Katelyn, that specific photo of Mave w/ the lilacs is what I call her “Buddha” picture. I agree with Bonnie — she’s meditating! Such an expression of bliss, and it’s a gift to see her in such repose with that little (perhaps) wee smile of contentment.

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! I love the pictures of Foxy and Mave, my pals. Burrito legs made my day!
    Happy Fourth of July to everybody!
