Today just so happens to be two special occasions worthy of acknowledgement around here…
First off, it’s the first Thursday of April which means it’s National Burrito Day! We thank the creators of this day because it gives us just one more reason to celebrate our very own Burrito Chimpanzee! Burrito spent his own personal holiday wildly bouncing one of his orange plastic balls, watching his favorite YouTube videos and being his usual charming self.
Happy National Burrito Day to all who celebrate. Here are a few more photos of that handsome guy!
Our second reason to celebrate is that it’s Dr. Jane Goodall’s 91st birthday today!
From Dr. Goodall’s official Facebook page: “This April 3rd, honor Jane’s 91st birthday by joining #GoodAllDay. Take a positive action—whether big or small—that makes the world a little better for people, other animals, and the planet we all share. Because every act of hope, no matter how small, has the power to change the world.”
What was your positive action to make the world a better place today? Share in the comments!

If anyone deserves a national day to celebrate his life, it’s Burrito. My positive action today was making a second helping of seed and peanuts for the birds and sqirrels in our backyard. We’re having a lot of rain and storms that have curtailed trips to the feeding stations so both times brought hungry critters to quickly enjoy the meals. Happy birthday and a happy hoot to a great animal advocate, Jane Goodall.
What a wonderful day celebrating two incredible primates, Burrito and Dr. Goodall! Two amazing people who have done so much to educate and inform about the greatness of our evolutionary cousins! Big happy birthday wishes to Dr. Goodall!
I just realized I did not receive my blog email yesterday. Of all the important days to miss, so I am reading this a day after it was posted.
Couldn’t be happier to learn that there’s a national Burrito Day celebrating our own beloved, silly boy! As it should be! 😉
A big happy birthday to the most inspirational woman in the world, Dr. Jane Goodall. In her honor, my time goes to the shelter where I volunteer and I chose to spend extra special time with the dogs and donkeys. I send heartfelt happy birthday wishes to Dr. Jane Goodall.
