Forty Five and Fierce

August 8, 2021 by Sam Jones

Today we celebrated Foxie’s 45th Birthday! Happy Birthday Foxie!!!

First, we set up all of her new dolls in the Greenhouse. She spent a lot of time looking at them all and picking out which ones she wanted to interact with first. I loved watching her pick up and look at each one. She would hold on to some of them and others she sat down, but came back to later in the day. After the doll party Foxie’s group enjoyed a watermelon bowl forage on Young’s Hill. The watermelon bowls were filled with lettuce, peaches, kiwi, and some cherries. Everyone was super excited and foraged on the hill trying to find as many as they could. Foxie was on the Hill longer than everyone else and seem to really enjoy eating her watermelon in the cooler weather. The Lucky Six as well as Mave, Honey B, and Willy B enjoyed the same treats, just not in a bowl form. Each time I saw Foxie the rest of the day she was carrying around a different doll.

I would say overall Foxie had a pretty good day. Lots of new dolls, watermelon bowls, and she even got to yell at her neighbors for a little bit.

The watermelon bowls!

Can’t forget about Burrito! He is still doing well and was pretty excited for some watermelon.

Happy Birthday, Foxie!!

August 8, 2021 by Katelyn

Paulette Wrisley, the chimpanzees’ unofficial (I just made this up) birthday Sponsor a Day fairy godmother, has gifted the chimpanzees with a day of sanctuary in celebration of beloved Foxie on her 45th birthday!

“Happy Birthday Foxie Lady! I hope your day is filled with play and laughter and dolls and love.”

Paulette, thank you so much for loving and celebrating Foxie, and each of the chimpanzees, with so much delight and honoring for who they are as individuals. You make a lasting difference in their lives and bring many smiles to our faces and we so appreciate you and your kind heart!

As you might imagine, there’s a mountain of Dora, Strawberry Shortcake, and Troll dolls in the chimp house and Chad’s party plans are underway as we prepare to celebrate Miss Foxie and her birthday! I firmly believe the moment Foxie was born, the world became a more magical place.

Happy Birthday, Foxie!! Let’s all hoot, holler, and pirouette, do a backflip or hang upside down (at least in our heads) in her honor!
