In honor of Team Burrito

by

A second day of sanctuary was sponsored today by Lisa McCurdy and her husband, Chris Grattan, both of whom so generously serve as two of the members of the amazing team we’re fortunate to work with as our board of directors. They shared this beautiful message about their gift:

“This first day of December is in honor of Burrito and his resilience as he continues to heal. May this new month bring healing — body and soul –for Burrito and all the beautiful souls who have saved him time and again. With love from the Grattans.”

Lisa and Chris, we’re so touched by your kind and generous hearts and truly appreciate all that you do to help ensure the well-being of all your fellow primates at the sanctuary, as well as the bovines!

We love this guy so very much and are so grateful for all the healing, care and support surrounding him, and us all, these past many weeks:

Happy Birthday, Tom!

This day of sanctuary was sponsored by Lisa Babb in honor of Tom English on his birthday!

“Tom is my partner and fiance. This (Dec 1) is his 55th birthday. He is a true hero of dog rescue in our area, and the kindest person I’ve ever met. He and I obsessively follow CSNW and love each and every chimpanzee in your care. He cries at the posts a lot and is very emotionally invested. Wishing the best for Burrito!”

Lisa, thank you so much for your generous contribution to the chimps’ lives in sanctuary as you and Tom celebrate his special day! We so appreciate you following the chimps and including them today! Most of us have cried over one post or another and we write them! 🙂 And thank you for sending all the good thoughts to Burrito!

Tom, thank you for the work you do for our canine friends! May all the love your big heart sends out come back to you many times over. Happiest of birthdays to you!

We’re so grateful for all the love and healing being held for this special man chimp, Burrito, and can’t wait for him to be back to his old self. We love him so.
