In honor of Becky and Mave

August 24, 2021 by Katelyn

Many hoots and moos and thanks to good friend of chimpanzees, bovines and humans, Tobin, who sponsored this day of sanctuary in celebration of her dear friend, Becky Babcock and Becky’s Pal, Mave Chimpanzee!

“Another August 24 has come to pass, and as Mave’s Human Pal, Becky Babcock is experiencing her annual 25th birthday. My friend Becky is moving to another house and town and as she packs and unpacks boxes I wouldn’t be surprised if she finds that missing 1.24% of genetic material that would qualify her for chimpanzeedom. Indeed, if I didn’t know any better, I would suppose that she has already found her errant genetic material and has taken up residence at the sanctuary…the way she goes on and on about Mave and Honey B, you would think that she meets with them every morning to groom and gossip. Sincerely, “Tobin”.

Happy Birthday, Becky! Better keep up your stretching if you’re going to spend your mornings with these two ladies. 😉 We hope you have a beautiful day of celebration and thanks so much for loving these special chimpanzees women.

Mave and Honey B!

      Aren’t those smiles of hers just the best? Mave can’t take a bad picture.

        The one below, with her chin on her fist, is my second fav (the first being the “senior class picture” pic)

    So wonderful to see two of my favorite “people” this morning. As I embark on celebrating another year of being 25, I can see the great benefit of having a supportive workout partner. New goal: stretch like no ones watching, yet pose as if everyone is the way Mave does. Thank You, Tobin and all who take such beautiful care of our sanctuary “family”. -Much Love, Becky

    It is just impossible to NOT love Mave.
