Thanks so much to DeAnna and Paul Estrada for sponsoring a day of sanctuary for their aunt, Paulette Wrisley, on her birthday!
DeAnna shared these thoughts about her special gift: Today is my aunt’s birthday and I am dedicating this day to her, the person who loves me unconditionally. My Aunt Paulette amazes me with her selfless acts of kindness, always smiling, even during the darkest storms. She is daring, beautiful, giving, and I could go on and on, but I hope you get the gist!! She loves the chimpanzees so much and as I dedicate this day to her, I also want the chimpanzees to have something fun or just special on this day in her honor.
How wonderful that we all get the opportunity to join in the celebration of Paulette! As many of you may recognize, Paulette brings a kind and joyful presence to our blog community and she has graciously sponsored many days of sanctuary helping us honor each of the chimpanzees on their birthdays. What a treat to see her honored today for the beauty she brings to life.
Happy Birthday, Paulette! Thank you for all you do to help make a lasting difference in the chimps’ lives. Have a wonderful day!
This guy! Charming, beloved Burrito:
Burrito (and Kate) in a tub!
What a treat to have this opportunity to join in the celebration of Paulette! Your love and support for the chimps has no limits. Receiving these photos of Burrito boy is a special treat (for all of us!). HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! May your year be full of joy.
Happy Happy Birthday to you, Paulette, Patron Saint of all the chimps’ birthdays! So nice to read what your niece writes about you, to get a glimpse of the wonderful person you are! Great photos for you of Burrito, especially the goofy face with the lettuce. Thank you for your love of “our” chimpanzees!
50 more birthdays and this one will still be special….congrats………..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Paulette!! I hope your day is filled with joy. I always enjoy reading your comments to the blogs and thank you for loving the 16 beautiful and loveable residents of the Sanctuary.
Oh My! so much work, so little time, gather veggies, hang laundry, fix the leaks,.Nah! just hang here with nature.
Thank you for the photos of such happy faces. Happiness to Aunt Paulette.
aw. You all just made my day. Thank you :heartbeat:
Hmmmmm. I wonder why all of the pictures are of burrito? Do you think it’s because somebody might know that he is my one true love valentine burrito? He was my very first sponsor a day on Valentine’s Day???
:heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:
Its his smile?
It’s everything about you my true love Valentine burrito! But especially your playful charm:heartbeat:
He is a little hard to resist!
Happy Birthday Paulette!
If Burrito didn’t have time to wrap his birthday presents for his girlfriend, with any luck she will much appreciate his gifts of a stripped scarf and a spatula. Happy birthday, Paulette, and thank you for generosity towards the residents of the Sanctuary.
thank you Tobin. Yeah that first picture of burrito is a real crack up isn’t it? He is a precious gift to us all.
Oh, of all the days to miss a birthday blog post!
Paulette, I’m so happy that your niece and nephew sponsored your day, so that we could tell you how much we appreciate all you’ve done for them this year!
And you even got a message from Burrito! That’s a first!
I hope you had a great day!
Thank you Linda! Yeah a message from burrito was pretty special right? The whole thing just made my day yesterday. I just wanna say thank you again to everyone for their warm wishes.
