Foxie listening to troll

Christmas Morning is for Laurel Hecht

December 25, 2017 by Diana

Merry Christmas to all of those who celebrate, and happy Monday to those who don’t!

Today, as you can imagine, we have a lot of people who wanted to help celebrate the day with the chimpanzees.

Up first, continuing her years-long tradition, Laurel Hecht was the first to sponsor 12/25/17. It’s an extra-special day for Laurel because it is also her birthday.

So, big thanks to Laurel for sharing her love and celebration with the chimpanzees. Happy Birthday to you!

The chimpanzees will be having an all-day celebration today.

We’re getting the day started with a breakfast of fresh pineapple and oranges (and smoothie being served)

Hopefully that troll isn’t telling Foxie what her presents are…

    Tons and tons of love from Vancouver, B.C. Hope you all (chimps and humans) have a wonderful, happy day. Thank you so much for being a big part of my life. With all the darkness and stress around us these days, CSNW, its humans and precious chimps is a continual and constant source of love and inspiration to me. I am so grateful for all you do. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all <3 <3 <3

    First thing I do every single morning is open the computer to see what gift you have for me. I look forward to your posts so much and like everyone else has said, they bring an uplifting moment to my every day. Was sick all night with beginning stages of a cold, but I had to come down to see what you have for me. The picture of Burito with brush in mouth brought a big smile to my sniffing/coughing head.

    I love the look on Foxie’s face as she gets the latest troll gossip. Just adorable.
