An ode to Foxie

April 15, 2021 by Anna

Foxie is a unique character at the sanctuary.  She is equal parts friendship and independence, with a dash of eccentricity thrown in for good measure. She loves fresh fruit and creamy avocados and has never said no to a morning smoothie. It’s a rare sight to see Foxie without a prized (and well loved) doll close by. She protects her friends and is remarkably brave, despite her skeptical nature. Foxie’s playful energy is a contagious delight within her chimpanzee family and she brings joy to all who know her.  Cheers to Foxie Chimpanzee on this fine spring day in April!

 

There never was a finer play face! Not pictured- Burrito and his supreme tickling abilities.

    I love Foxie! She is such a special chimpanzee person. I always enjoy hearing news about her and seeing pictures of her. I especially love the last picture in today’s blog — her smile is indeed contagious and joyful!

    What an indomitable soul resides in her petite frame. What a delight it is to see Foxie’s play face (with an assist from an invisible tickling machine in her immediate vicinity).

    Just getting acquainted with this group, but am delighted to be here. I will be sure to pass this message along to my daughter and her two little ‘monkeys’ ages 5 and 2…they will LOVE the pictures!

    To every human caregiver at CSNW and all of CSNW supporters:

    You see that Foxie smile? You did that. YOU did that. Love did that. And that is the best thank you smile ever. Thank you all
