Good friend of the chimpanzees, Erin Yuhas, sponsored this much loved holiday for them and shares this sweet message with us all:
“Top ‘o the morning! St. Patrick’s Day is my favorite holiday and everyone is Irish on this day…even the chimps!”
Erin, your lovely heart! Thanks for sponsoring such a fun day for the chimps (and the humans)! Your generosity and compassion have made a lasting difference in their lives and we’re always thrilled to have yet another reason to celebrate. And as is probably pretty clear, the chimps know how to party, so today is right up their alley!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! May the luck of the chimps be with you!
As today’s party preparations get underway, here are a few moments from past St. Paddy’s Day celebrations and just moments to celebrate in general.

Luck o’ the Irish troll:
Annie and a leprechaun friend:
I’m pretty sure the sanctuary is the pot of gold at the end of our rainbow, thanks to all who love and care for these chimps.
Party on, chimps! Hi Foxie lassie! 🙂
I think Foxie is doing a wee Irish jig in the second photo. Still giggling over your copy above each photo. Can’t wait to see the party celebration later today. And yes, I too believe that Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, no doubt about it!
I love these photographs as much as Missy and Burrito appear to be enjoying their green-tinted libations. In honor of the day, I am going to look for the video of Foxie dancing a reel to the sounds of “Lord of the Dance”. I think that Saint Padraig would approve.
