Sending out our heartfelt thanks to Donna Hughes for sponsoring this special day of sanctuary in celebration and memory of the beautiful and the bittersweet, both of which we so often find in life, are held, glittering, in the same breath.
“I would like to sponsor a day to honor all of the chimpanzees and cattle who are lucky enough to reside at CSNW. Shout out to you, Foxie One! This sponsor day is bittersweet for me, as it was my shared birthday with Doreen. To honor the chimps and the cattle on this day, makes me feel better!!! I know it is Doreen-Approved!! Have a great day, Everyone!!!”
Donna, we are all thinking of you and remembering Doreen today and so grateful to have you both as part of the chimpanzees’ and bovines’ extended family. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us and we hope that it’s filled with some Doreen (and Foxie!) kinda magic. Happy Birthday to you both!
Happy-bittersweet birthday, Donna and thank you for your generosity and kindness!
As I do each year, Donna, I wish you a happy day and wonderful memories of you and Doreen! I hope the weather is warm enough there to enjoy the park–it is here, finally! Not quite like spring, but close enough–we’ll take it! Thank you for loving the Tiny One.
Thank you, Donna for an inclusuve sponsorship of all creatures at the Sanctuary. When i look at the tiny trolls I think about people who wouldn’t give them to small children for fear that they might swallow them. Thank goodness Foxie loves them without tasting them.
Happiness always, to you Donna. I still believe Doreen visits Young’s Hill and climbs, walks, and sits with the chimps. Why wouldn’t she?! Making me think that maybe Foxie isn’t phantom playing when she’s alone, shetplaying with her pal Doreen. 🙂
That is supposed to read:
Foxie isn’t phantom playing when she’s alone, she’s playing with her pal Doreen.
That is such a great image to think of, Kathleen! Foxie, playing with her friend, Doreen! I love it, thank you!!!
Thank you all! It is always a privilege to sponsor a day! LOVE the photos! I spent five hours at the Bronx zoo,,a place Dor and I love deeply. This wonderful blog post makes my day happier!
I’m happy to hear it! i have a friend who’s living on the Bronx now, and I’ve reminded her that I’ve never been!
