Burrito is 40 years old today! We are so grateful to Paulette Wrisley for sponsoring this day of sanctuary in honor of her Pal!
“This is the birthday of My One and Only True Love Valentine Burrito! Is it just me, or does Burrito just get happier and sillier as he gets older? And that just makes me happier and sillier too! He and all of the others and all of you are just such a joy and a blessing. Let’s ALL have a happy birthday with Burrito!”
A gift, a delight and an inspiration (and a workout!) every second of every day that we are so fortunate to spend with you. Happy Birthday, Bubbie!!! We love you so very much!!

Happy Big 4-0, Burrito!
Also, Diana wanted suggestions in the comments about what to call the staff and volunteers. My first thought was the Ride or Die Crew…
Linda C says
They just seem like a big family to me
Doug says
What a character! The first time I stumbled across CSNW blog, Burrito was recovering from a snake bite (it took me a while to find out WHERE he was bitten!). I’m so glad he recoverd and is living his best life! Happy Birthday
Linda C says
Thank you, Paulette, for helping the gift that is Burrito dance right into middle age! Hard to believe!
Can’t wait to see the reactions to the coconuts and spaghetti!
Kathleen says
Oh Paulette, I loved your Burrito birthday boy dedication. Yes!! I do feel sillier and more appreciative of everything around me simply because Burrito taught me this is the secret to living a happy a life.
Dearest Burrito, may you receive all the joy, love, and laughter you give to others every day of your 40th year. And may you stay forever young. XOXO
Katelyn, thanks for this photo selection, especially the last image. That image always cracks me up. I mean look at him just hanging/swinging there! :laughing:
Tobin says
I just love and rejoice in Burrito, and I wish him the happiest birthday that a 40-year-old teenage dreamboat could possibly have! Not to hone in on Paulette’s Valentine-sharing with our birthday boy, but — wow! — encountering the Bubster online a half-dozen years ago changed my life forever! At last, my genealogical research reached its conclusion: I discovered the identity of my long-lost cousin.
I can’t wait to see the video of the Bubba’s blow-out birthday bash. The food squeaks shall echo through the Cascades!
Mark B. says
Happy photos of a happy Bubs made my day!
Marya says
Thanks, Paulette, for honoring our Bubba! I concur with all the previous comments about how much this guy means to us all, and to his group. I can’t see his face without smiling no matter what he’s doing, even when he’s just sitting looking expectant about his next play moment. What a guy, what a gift he is, as is this entire community!

Happy, happy birthday dear Burrito. We just love everything about you and you deserve every morsel of pasta that comes your way today.
Linda C says
Wouldn’t it be fun to see them enjoing the red sauce with the spaghetti!? A mess, but….
Melissa says

Hi everyone! I experienced quite a digital burnout :see_no_evil:so now I’m backtracking and reading about six weeks of the blog. I love every blog but I especially wanted to say how much I enjoy your comments too. You’re such an amazing group of thoughtful, funny and insightful commenters.
Thankfully I checked on the birthday list just in time on
Jan 2 !
