It’s the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which means… it’s Giving Tuesday! 🙂
If you haven’t heard of it before, Giving Tuesday is an internationally recognized day of giving as it aims to promote generosity as a part of every day life. Which, if you ask me, is just a sincerely lovely & comforting thought.
We rely on the generosity of you, our supporters, to do the work we do. All our residents deserve sanctuary and you are what makes that happen. We are grateful, every day, for each of you.
If you find yourself wanting to participate in Giving Tuesday, I would encourage you to donate by clicking the link here. There are so many ways to donate- from sponsoring a day of sanctuary, to donating directly to our produce fund, becoming a Chimp or Bovine Pal to one of our residents, or donating stocks– I can confidently tell you that every donation is felt and appreciated. Today, and every day, no donation is too small.
There are also the non-monetary ways to support the sanctuary, which I feel like sometimes get overlooked but are just as important! Sharing our posts, for example, to your social media or with your friends and family help us increase our reach. Which, in turn, helps us connect and share our residents stories with more people. That is so, so important to us. We owe it to our residents to share their names & stories as far & wide as we can. A simple share helps us do just that!
On that note, I hope you enjoy the short & sweet video today of best chimp friends Missy and Annie. 🙂

Also, in the honor of giving thanks, look at this amazing pile of donations from a week or so ago! Thank you so much to everyone who donates items from our wish lists or who sends us chimp-approved items. We are currently adding items that we need for our upcoming Christmas celebrations to our wish lists, so please check it out if you’re interested in helping us celebrate! 🙂
That Grand Finale was grand indeed. It really brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
Annie and Missy have the best friendship. I love watching them play so much.
Well! That. Was. Pure. Bliss! It’s endearing that their friendship is still going strong. This clip is so cute. And there’s Neggie in the background *savoring* her peanut butter reading material. Not phased at all by the shenanigans of the two BFF’s.
It is absolutely gran:rofl:d that, even in their adulthood, Missy and Annie can still play together like little girls of a similar primate species (although I don’t recall anythe humans who were quite so limber that their best friend could manipulate their foot to kick them in their very oewn fundament).
I like the music for the video, too. I recall it from a video if 2-6-2018 when Jody the Chimpherd went out on Young’s Hill to round up a wild Negra…
Oh, what an absolute delight watching this video of sweet Annie and Missy up close and being the bestest of buddies together. They shared unadulterated joy just chilling out. Magic moments indeed and, yes, the music was awesome.
