National Best Friends Day

June 8, 2023 by Anna

Chad informed me that it is National Best Friends Day today. What better day than today to highlight some of the best friend pairs around here at the sanctuary!

Jenna took this photo of  Mave and Dora yesterday. I hope we are all so lucky to have a BFF that looks at us the way Mave looks at Dora.

Here are some other highlights of “Mora” from the last several years. You might notice a lot of hand holding and hugs from those 2.

 

On the other side of the building, I obviously have to highlight the other 2 famous BFFs of the group, Annie and Missy!

While Mave and Dora are more so a lounging and hand holding pair, Annie and Missy are often spotted adventuring and playing together.

 

Of course, they get plenty of down time together where grooming is the main event:

Wishing everyone a happy National Best Friends Day – make sure to call that special someone(s) and tell them how much they mean to you!

    Done, and message passed on, Anna!

    I was wondering when someone would spend a little more time delving into those “ride or die” friendships on either side of the house!
    Have you ever seen either pair at odds with each other?

    It’s so funny that, with her high social IQ/EQ, Mave is the “obsessed” one, the counterpart to Annie, who is obsessed with Missy, but lower on the hierarchy

    Such sweet pictures, my best friends (2 of them) are such an important part of my life. We do many activites together…no grooming though!

    Oooohhhh! What fabulous pictures of these two loving pairs and their separate ways of being BFF’s together. The whole Mora thing just does me in! I’m so happy for Mave & Dora that they have each other and that the combining of the groups was successful to allow for the friendships that have arisen. It’s truly a joy to be a part of their lives and the sanctuary’s daily processes.

    I love that picture of Annie and Missy. Its so “And now, cried Max, let the wild rumpus start”.

    That first picture is precious. Look at the expression on Mave’s face. It’s worth gold.

    Mave & Dora. Annie & Missy. Sometimes one friend can change your life entirely. The photos truly show just how special these bonds are. What fun featuring these friendships. Thanks Anna!

    (Love that photo Jenna took.)

      I’ve seen greeting cards that say “a good friend will bail you out of jail. A true friend will be sitting in jail next to you saying, “d@*n, that was fun!” As much as these ladies love each other, I feel like that true friend would be Foxie :laughing:. Maybe Dora and her double flying kick, the jury is still out.
      (Anna we need that kick on video, pls)

    I consider all of you and all of the chimps as my best friends!
