Many thanks to Shelly Martin, who so kindly sponsored a day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in honor of her aunt (and our sanctuary friend!), Linda Crawford, for her birthday!
“Happy Birthday to Aunt Linda, a woman who loves and cares for these chimps as much as anyone. We love you and miss you!”
Linda, all of us here send lots of celebratory hoots and pirouettes your way for your special day! Your heartfelt care for the chimpanzees, your dedicated presence in their lives via the daily blog, and the difference you help bring to their lives is so appreciated. Have a magical, Foxie-style day! Just ask yourself, “What would Foxie do?” and do that. 😉
Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birhtday to you Linda! I wish you a day full of shenanigans, pirouettes, a pasta cam, breathy laughs and heartfelt hoots!

Thanks so much, Kathleen! No pasta cam, but I did get in some Christmas lights and some frites!

Thanks. Laurie! (I keep trying, it doesn’t post).
Marya says
Thank you, Katelyn, for these great shots — Several pics look like the 3 Musketeers! And thanks, Shelly and Linda, for sharing your connections to the sanctuary with your generosity and spirit.
Paulette says
Linda! I wish we could hang out with the girls today. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?! I’m so excited to wish you the very happiest of birthdays. All the best to you.
Paulette says
Oops. Thank you Shelly!!
Linda C says
Thanks, Paulette!
Yes, doesn’t that top pic look like something reaaly fun was going down!?
I love that pic!
Paulette says
Exactly! It was that pic I had in mind. If only we could hang with them…
Linda C says
Oh, how we wish!
I fear I don’t qualify, as I have never been good at hanging upside down lkke a bat….
