The Great Watermelon Haul on Foxie’s 44th Birthday

August 8, 2020 by Diana

This video above of Foxie’s 44th birthday celebration has a little something for everyone. Well, except we did not get any photos or video of Mave or Honey B enjoying their watermelon boats. They did enjoy them, rest assured.

In addition to the watermelon bowl forage, which was a tradition began many years ago by volunteers, we also served smoothies (normally a breakfast-only thing) at both lunch and dinner. Foxie was appropriately appreciative.

Foxie’s was the first birthday we celebrated when the chimpanzees arrived in 2008. We knew her exact birth date because she was born in a laboratory and we had scant records of her years as a biomedical test subject that included her birth date, place of birth, and the number they assigned to her and tattooed on her body.

Those days must feel very, very far behind her today as she celebrated her 12th birthday in sanctuary.

What a gift to have all of these chimpanzees in our lives and to be able to give them good days.

Raise your watermelon bowl to many more!!

Happy Birthday, Foxie!

August 8, 2020 by Katelyn

Our second generous gift of a day of sanctuary was sponsored by Foxie’s Pal, Jordan Bower, in honor of Foxie’s 44th birthday! Woot!

“Happy Birthday to the sweet, sweet Foxie Chimpanzee. Watching the kind of peacekeeper and friend she is, makes me a better person. I believe this Shakespeare quote fits her perfectly: ‘And though she be but little, she is fierce’. I hope her day is spent doing and snacking on all of the things she loves.”

Jordan, that is the perfect quote, and one we ourselves often use in regard to Foxie. Thank you so much for thinking of her today and helping to make her day even better. Foxie is such a special person and we couldn’t be more grateful to be celebrating her today.

Happy, happy birthday, beloved Foxie! You make all our lives better just by being your beautiful, magical, endearing, loving, pirouetting, joyful, sassy-pants self. We love you more than you will ever know.

Happy Birthday, Susana!

August 8, 2020 by Katelyn

Today we are fortunate to have two lovely humans sponsoring days of sanctuary in celebration of birthdays! Our first gift is from Susana Pataro:

β€œIt is my wish to celebrate this special day with my beloved chimpanzee friends. I am in lockdown since March, but happy to see that they are thriving in Cle Elum and also have new friends. I want to share with them additional love and care to all the beautiful things they receive from you every day. I will be at home in Buenos Aires alone with my glass of champagne and my chocolate cake watching the chimps celebration!”

Happy Birthday, Susana! Thanks so much for such kindness in celebrating your own special day with the chimpanzees! As you share a birthday with Foxie, it’s a good day for a birthday! πŸ™‚ She and her friends will be celebrating alongside you with her version of champagne and chocolate cake (smoothies and watermelon bowls) and all of us here are sending all the good thoughts to you for a really special day during a really unique time in life. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate with you and for adding to the chimpanzees’ lives!
