This lovely day of sanctuary was sponsored by Sharon Langone for her husband, Matt Langone!
“Happy Valentine’s Day to my husband, Matt! We both love the work the team does at the sanctuary on Valentine’s Day and all year round- so it seemed fitting!”
Sharon and Matt, thank you so much for your support of the chimpanzees and cattle who call Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest home! We so appreciate your love for them and all of us here wish you a beautiful day filled with all, and who, you most love.
Chimpanzees “hug” and “kiss” all the time. And while it’s nearly impossible for us humans not to equate these gestures with our own human equivalents, in chimp lingo they are typically gestures of greeting and reassurance. But I don’t believe there is any less heart behind them. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! (Naturally, be sure to tune in later for the chimps’ party 🙂 ).

Happy Valentine’s Day to the dear precious chimps & bovines who reside in heavenly surroundings there at the sanctuary …. and also to all the humans who love & care for them. XOXO Happy partying later on today… 🙂
What sweet pictures to share with us on this Happy Valentine’s Day. We wish everyone at the sanctuary much love and we are always grateful for all you do.
These photos are adorable!! Happy Valentine’s Day to all the human and “almost” human that are at the sanctuary!! Thank you for all you do!!
Wow! These photos absolutely made my day. I mean it. It really was going quite poorly; until I sat down at my desk and opened up today’s blog. Each picture is just glorious in its own way.
Happy Valentine’s Day to my chimp and bovine friends, CSNW staff, volunteers and supporters.
Isn’t it amazing how they can make the sucky partof any day melt away?
Looks like “kisses” are in the air. Hugs and kisses to everyone.
What precious pictures. Just loved each and every one. Thanks Katelyn for send them on to us…it’s the only valentine I got
Not that different from us. Who hasn’t kissed your mother or friend on the cheek in greeting? Or hug and kiss a close friend or family member in times of stress or disappointment?
