Today is my birthday! My birthday wish is for the newly integrated group of nine chimpanzees at the sanctuary to blossom into a stable family that includes new friendships as they watch the construction of outdoor habitats that are are being built just for them right now.
If you’d like to contribute towards this wish, at least the building of the habitats part (as for the stable group and new friendships, we will all just have to cross our fingers), consider investing in future adventures by making a donation on my and Monica’s GiveBIG page.
A pant-hoot thank you in advance and to those who have already made a donation!

Marya says
What a great day to celebrate you, Diana, and all that you bring to the world! I hope your day is filled with enjoyable moments, pant-hoots, and all good things that make you happy. May Give Big energies abound, especially since you “Give Big” every single moment of every day. We know the chimps appreciate it (even when poop may be thrown!), and certainly all of the human primates do, too. Thank you for all you bring to the world on so many levels.
Diana says
Thank you so much, Marya. I appreciate your wishes and kind words of support.
