Best friend: Burrito

Distinguishing physical characteristics: Very petite chimp with no belly, dark face
Personality: Fun, playful, goofy, silly, child-like, sweet, kind, and the peacemaker of the group.

    Foxie is my favourite :). I was so glad to receive a card from all of you to say that she loved the troll doll I sent. You are all amazing people.

    Foxie is a very special individual. I am so happy I came to know her through your blog posts. Imagine being born into Biomedical Research — overwhelming. May she rub her toes all day long everyday now that she is safe, cared for and loved.
