Missy spends most of her time with her chimp friends – in other words, she’s a chimp’s chimp. She is that cool girl that everyone wants to be friends with. She is confident, a friend to all, and she is not afraid to try new things (most of the time). So you could see why it would be a big deal if Missy wanted to play, you would drop everything! I find myself occasionally grooming, tickling, and playing chase with Missy usually after lunch when everyone is napping. As we play you all have to remember Missy is a loyal friend. She helps Jamie keep order in the chimp house, even if it’s not in her best interest. Our games usually end once Jamie notices or the chimps start waking up. Recently, Missy has been popping up randomly to groom or sit together, not at our normal meet up time. Like, this morning we groomed in the Greenhouse and Missy offered a kiss, a KISS! A moment I will cherish forever.
Oh Missy… you are growing.. and you are such a pivotal piece of the 7’s puzzle… how heartwarming…. a KISS!!! thanks for this post… 🙂
A kiss, Wonderful!!
I love that silhouette of Dr. Missy at the top of this post. Even though the dark obscures a lot of her features, one can still infer Missy’s curiosity (no doubt she is looking out at the tomato plants with eager anticipation!). What an honor it must be to be offered a kiss on the wrist by one of the Cle Eluminairies, simian or bovine.
Specially timed visits and a KISS from Missy! A true testament of your character Kelsi and such a sweet way to seal your friendship. Need I even mention how lucky you are?!
Wowza!! As Mr. Rogers said, You Are Special!!! Hugs and love to you all…
A KISS. That’s like baby’s first steps or first words. You must have been elated, Kelsi. You made Missy feel she is extra special with the ‘sneak’ attention while the others were asleep. A well-deserved kiss, I would add.
So lovely! Made me cry. xo
A KISS????? How joyous and loving. Trust. My heart would be zinging out of my body.
Thank you for the lovely piccies of Missy. I love the bond that has grown and flourished between she and her best friend Annie.
