Valentine’s Day with Burrito and Friends

February 14, 2025 by Ellen Brady-McGaughey

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today we celebrated our forever valentines (the chimpanzees of CSNW) with a lovely party planned and prepared by caregiver Jenna! Jenna threw an amazing party, complete with chocolate pudding covered strawberries, fruit-filled ice treats, acai smoothie bowls with berries and homemade granola, chow cookies, and edible flowers in pools of gatorade. She also made mail boxes for Jamie and Cy (the resident book worms) where staff and volunteers could write notes for the chimps (or in Cy’s case, cut out pictures of people from magazines, his favorites!), and banners with photos of the chimps. Check out the video to see Burrito, Missy, Foxie, Negra, Annie, and Jamie enjoy all of their special goodies, and come back tomorrow to see Cy and friends enjoy their party!

For my one true love valentine, Burrito!

February 14, 2025 by Katelyn

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!!

We are sending out our heart felt gratitude to Paulette Wrisley for her long-time support of each of the chimpanzees, and for sponsoring this special Valentine’s Day of sanctuary for none other than her Pal, her “one true love valentine, Burrito!” Paulette has been graciously sponsoring each of the chimpanzees’ birthdays for some time now and never fails to lift our hearts.

It’s safe to say Burrito (understandably) has many adoring fans. He can be wild and raucous at times, but his super-powered resilience and ever-endearing charms buoy all our hearts along in his wake. We love him so.

Preparation for the chimpanzees’ big Valentine’s Day bash has been underway for days with some amazing treats on the menu, so be sure to tune in later today to see what happens!

And for everyone who has registered for this morning’s Valentine’s Day Virtual Visit (at 9:00 am/PST 12:00 pm/EST) for breakfast and the morning shifting routine with the chimpanzees, thank you!! See you soon!!
