I’ve been sitting on this fun video for a perfect quick blog on a busy meeting day. Burrito brings out all his silliness when he plays with his Jolly Ball! We’ve seen countless moments like this one in the last few months since he got this new toy.

In memory of Frans de Waal
We are so thankful to long-time friend of the chimpanzees, bovines, and humans, Kathleen Corby, who graciously sponsored this day of sanctuary in honor of the life of Emory University primatologist, Frans de Waal, and his incredible legacy.
“I just discovered the saddest of news. On March 14th we lost Frans de Waal from this earth. Mama is still one of my most beloved chimpanzee people. I still say in my head “Mama and Monique. Monique and Mama” when I see the love and tight bonds between mother and daughter in animals or even in the deep bonds I share with the dogs I love. I’d like my dear friends at CSNW to celebrate his life today. Here’s to the emotions and intelligence in ALL of us! Thank you Frans de Waal.”
