Our second sponsor for today is from Marya Barey in memory of her father, William Barey, on Father’s Day!
“I’m honored to sponsor this day for all the critters at the sanctuary in honor of Father’s Day. My father adored all of nature and animals and shared that love with me from the time I was very little. I grew up in Texas and it wasn’t uncommon for him to stop by the side of the road in the country and moo at the cattle in the fields, to which they would often respond, and I would go into peals of giggling. I know he would adore the sanctuary and all the beings there as much as I do and would be as grateful as I am that there is love, affection and respect for their lives from so many people on their behalf. Thank you, staff, volunteers, board and contributors far and wide!”
Thank you so much Marya for this touching story of your father and for sponsoring today in honor of him!

Today is Honey B’s birthday! Paulette Wrisley sponsored today to celebrate this very unique, inquisitive, intelligent, and beautiful individual’s 32nd birthday!
“Honey B – You crack me up LOL. From the first video, as you arrived at CSNW, playing in that pile of paper, to your very intense OCD nest building techniques, to your construction supervisory role, you keep me smiling. I hope you too keep smiling on this very special day. Have great fun! Happy Birthday my dear Honey B <3”
Thank you so much Paulette for your continued love for the chimpanzees!
Stay tuned later today for coverage of Honey B’s Birthday!
