Missy had a tomato-filled birthday yesterday! Watch the video (with Jody pop-ups) to see Missy enjoying her day.
The three new chimpanzees continue to charm us all. We’ll be sharing more stories about them in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. We’re so very grateful to have had this opportunity to get to know them and to have cared for Missy and her six friends for the last eleven years. Each of these chimpanzees is so very unique and special, and it’s a joy to see them discover themselves at the sanctuary.
Happy Tomato day Missy Sweetheart.
Here’s to many, many, more 🙂
To Miss Missy, ????? Happy Birthday ??? with love ??? from Tasmania, Australia
A beautiful day to be outside, and tomatoes everywhere! What more could a girl named Missy wish for?!
Especially with all of those stumps, where a nervous girl can get out of the long grass, enjoy her forage without fear of snakes, and at the same time, scan the ground for more tomatoes!
I looooove those Jody pop-ups!
Looks like Annie is one of the baked onions’ biggest fans!
Did the new kids on the block get special birthday foods, too?
Happy Birthday to the beautiful Missy!
Happy Birthday little Tomato Girl! You already have your birthday wish. You are surrounded by chimpanzee friends, humans who adore you, and you run free on Young’s Hill in the glorious Pacific NW. And from here, it only gets better……May it always be so. XOXOXO
Love the identifying pop ups. I am amazed at how calm they are as they wait their turn for the onions. No pushing each other aside, no tantrums to be the next etc. Great Video.
I wish Missy a happy birthday, even if the best part of her birthday is delayed by three weeks. “At the mother and child reunion, it’s only a heartbeat away…” — Paul Simon.
It is a true joy to hear how well they get along and established in transition.
They are such beautiful animals and so interactive with life. Love it all.
