Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest

Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary

Luck of the Chimps

by Chad de Bree

“A Wish for a Friend”

Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

-Irish Blessing #25

The sanctuary is at the end of this rainbow on Highway 10.

We hope everybody is having a fun and safe St. Patrick’s Day.

    Those Foxie toes were curled in happiness to see you, Chad!
    May you all receive the blessings tenfold!
    Happy St Paddy’s

    “And a host of friends that never ends,
    each day your whole life through.”

    The people who have lived, and who reside, at the Sanctuary — located down the road at the end of the rainbow, where else? — are as good a host of friends as I know. Every day for the past nine years, I have logged on to the CSNW website. And each day, I am blessed by the very presence of my friends Meredith, Neggie, Jody, and Terry.

    May the patron saint of reptile repulsion (Padraig of Eire), whose feast is celebrated today, keep the kind of slithering creatures (which cause Annie McChimpanzee to get her Irish up) away from her and her friends this summer.

    That rainbow photo is too perfect! Like following the yellow brick road to Oz, a rainbow leads you to CSNW — a magical place where courage and hope turn golden. (…..and Foxie’s toes wiggle!)

    Sláinte!
