Burrito's 35th Birthday Bash!

by

As the video illustrates, Burrito was in high spirits today as we celebrated his 35th birthday. He is the epitome of being young at heart. Just when you think you couldn’t love him any more he does something else to irrevocably endear himself, like eating lettuce with never-before-seen abandon or practically jumping right out of his skin with excitement.

  1. U did a FABO FABO job!!!! He is such a nut!! The vid was wonderful and thank you so much for it! He just makes me smile a mile wide!! He exhibits such love of life and is sooooooo food motivated!! Just love him to bits (love them all) Bravo to you!!!!!! XOXOXO

  2. Thank you! I Love the Birthdays! Looks like Burrito had a wonderful time! Its interesting that he went for all the drinks first, something I also see in other Chimps. And Yes! I did appreciate the hands free style eating watermelon. I said out loud, that’s the way! Happy Birthday Burrito! You are a treasure Mr B! Love and Blessings to the Seven and all at CSNW!

  4. Happy Birthday ! Thank you for sharing it with us, it looks like you had a wonderful time. Your joy brings tears of gratitude to my eyes. xo

  5. Oh I think we need to make a little book using these photos and call it “Snow Day”. Sigh…..LOVE!

  7. Ah, such a dilemna for the chimps: the snow looks pretty and it’s fun to eat, but to walk on it? Eesh! Ya’d think that Jamie might employ a pair of her boots to avoid getting her feet wet. Negra appears to have the best solution to keeping her feet warm.

  8. I’m still smiling. Burrito obviously had a fab day! thanks to all of you. The anticipation for the coconut was something else! It truly looked like he could not physically contain his excitement. And that smile and laughter. Oh my.

    Happy birthday Mr. B. I hope we have you around for a long time to come. You deserve every watermelon piece (incredible), walnut (wish I could), boxes of lettuce leaves, smoothies everywhere you look, and lots of people right there with you everyday making sure you are happy and healthy. Wow!

  9. I, too, wish the incredible Mr. B a happy new year of life. Has anyone ever been more excited about a coconut? What a joy his joy is to watch.

    And now that he’s reached the Constitutional minimum age to be president…Burrito’s would certainly have my vote.
