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”!:










Donna, my heart is with you as you go through this day without your twin Doreen by your side. I also am a twinless twin and I share your pain. So glad you got to visit the chimps together.
Dot, yes, it is so true twinless twins understand a unique pain. thank youl and I do take solace that Dor got to visit CSNW in person. It was so important to her to do that. thank you.
Happy birthday to both of you, Don! The sun is shining today! I hope you and your little orange agent of chaos (I’m assuming Pumpkin is a kitteh) get to take in plenty of it today! Stay warm, and thanks for always including our chimpy friends!
Linda, she is an agent of chaos, but only has a little bit of orange in her. She was named by a reenager who was ;into’ pumpkin spice latte at the time lol…thank you so much!
Precious Foxie. Seeing Foxie with a favorite doll posing for a few selfies is enough to brighten everybody’s day. Most important, however, is the little touch of joy that she will bring to you, Don, on this significant day. Please know that all of us are thinking of you and Doreen and all the animals that were lucky enough to live within your home and hearts. Happiest of happy birthdays to you.
kathleen, seeing foxie selfies is always a wonderful sight. it makes our birthday special. thank you for you good wishes they are appreciated.
