Many thanks to extraordinary friend and family member of the sanctuary, Monica Best, for sponsoring this very special day in memory of our beloved Jody whose birthday we always celebrated on Mother’s Day, and in honor of a wonderful chimpanzee and bovine friend, Tobin.
“Mother’s Day has always been a special celebration for Jody. As I look at the lilacs, just starting to bloom, I think of Jody and how much she has been missed. But, I’m also grateful for the amazing life she had at CSNW. She was just pure happiness and joy and I love watching videos of her, living her best life. We love you and miss you Jody.
To Tobin, thank you for being such an amazing supporter to the chimps and for making this year’s Love a Chimpanzee Day even more special. I know Burrito felt all the love you sent his way.”
We are profoundly grateful for all the love and care that surrounds the chimpanzees and cows. <3

Happy Birthday, beloved Jo. How we miss you. We celebrate you and our extraordinary good fortune to have you in our hearts every single day:
Be sure to join us later today as we celebrate beautiful Jody and all of the chimpanzee and bovine mothers here at the sanctuary, as well as the mothers of all those who call the sanctuary home!
Thank you, Monica, for your kind words. I, too, remitted payment to honor our dear Jody’s birthday. It is an honor and privilege to support those who live at the sanctuary as well as those who provide their needs. Thus, I commend you as well for your long and generous support of the chimpanzees and cattle.
And, certainly, these photographs, and who they portray, are beautiful.
To Monica, Tobin, and most importantly, Den Mother Jody : I am grateful the world holds people like you.
Our lilacs are in full bloom, and like everyone connected to CSNW, I can’t look at a lilac and not think of all the love and hope that makes sanctuary a home. Happy Jody Day!
Thank you Monica and Tobin for your generosity aad kind words for Jody and all the family of chimps, bovines and human friends at CSNW.
Thank you, Monica, now and always.
A happy mother’s day to all, and birthday wishes for Monica and Diana, as I know it’s the season!
Happy Birthday and Happy Mother’s Day, JoJo!
Many thanks to you, Monica and Tobin! :monkey_face::cow2::rose:
