Today is for Doreen!
Long-time friend of the chimpanzees, Donna Hughes, is graciously sponsoring this day of sanctuary in memory of Doreen, Don’s twin sister, on their shared birthday. <3
“Remembering Doreen today, on our birthday. Always a bittersweet day for me, but Sponsoring The Day always makes me happy. Doreen LOVED all of the chimps at CSNW and the people who care for them. It was one of the best days EVER the day we visited in person. So, Happy Birthday, Doreen!!! You are missed every day. I know you have our dog and cats on your lap above. I have a new friend, Pumpkin, on mine. Let’s celebrate with Foxie and Friends!!”
Don, thank you so much for continuing to include the sanctuary and chimpanzees in celebration of your shared birthday and wonderful Doreen. Happy Birthday to you both, from all of us here! I can only imagine how bittersweet this day would be. May the day also bring wonderful memories – we know Miss Foxie is the best at bringing joy. We miss Doreen, too, and are thinking of you both, along with Pumpkin, today!
I love this whimsical series of Foxie and Asha “selfies”!:
