Our heartfelt thanks to Sheeru Singh for sponsoring this extra special day of sanctuary (one of two today!) in honor of our beloved Burrito on his 41st birthday!! Sheeru shared this really lovely message:
“Happy Birthday Burrito!!! Wishing you the best, always and forever. May you be blessed with all the happiness and love you deserve. And many thanks to the staff, followers, and donators of Chimp Sanctuary NW. It is all because of you that we are able to wish Burrito on his birthday. Your love and care for these chimps prove that there is still some humanity left in this world. Thank you, Sheeru Singh”
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful heart, Sheeru!
Our chimpanzee friend of nine-plus-lives seems to have found his own personal fountain of joy and youth. Whatever life has thrown at him – and it’s been immensely more than any being should have to endure – he miraculously comes out the other side and with each passing year he is seemingly even happier and more wildly energetic and endearing than before. We are immeasurably grateful for Burrito’s resilient and joyful soul and for the privilege of having him in our lives and the gift of having him in our hearts.
Happy Birthday, Bubbie!!!
Of course, we’re on the stepladder fetching the ginormous pasta pot off the top of the shelf now, so be sure to tune in later to join us in celebration of this beloved guy.
And there’s still time to vote (or vote again) for your favorite Burrito photo (the winning image will be made available for purchase). The contest ends Monday, January 8th at 6:00 pm (PST)

Thank you, Sheeru, for your dedication to the sanctuary and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, handsome Burrito! You look amazing and we could learn a trick or two from you.I even tried out your up side down posture but got stuck and my partner had to help me up! She and I had a good laugh. A good start to the day.

Many thanks Sheeru for sponsoring such a special day. Happy Birthday, Burrito. Not many of us know someone who can be described as resilient, goofy, bubbly and fun. But you’ve got it all covered, right side up or standing on your head. Pasta for all.
