The Big 3-4 for the Big Guy

March 12, 2024 by Chad de Bree

Today, we celebrated Cy’s 34th birthday! For his birthday, caregivers set up his own personal library in the mezzanine. For lunch, Cy and friends were treated to a forage of pineapple bowls filled with cherry tomatoes, purple sweet potatoes, and pears on a bed of napa cabbage.

Cy is a gentle being with such a genuine heart. When Cy stares at you, it’s with love. He can make even the toughest individual blush with his soft eyes. To know Cy is to know love, and we are all very lucky to know him.

Happy Birthday, Cy!

    Whoa! Wait a minute. Cy actually had that entire room with all of his favorite things all to himself?! What a gift! Simply wonderful. You think of everything. As always, the menu sounds scrumptious. What a fun celebration!

    Happy birthday to you, dear Cy. Don’t stay up all night reading.

    Happy birthday to the reading Cy! everyone looks like they had so much fun today! lunch looked scrumptious. it’s so wonderful to see how much you guys love, spoil and take care of the chimps. I saw a few tattoos and I was wondering if you all have chimp tattoos of one kind or another?

    Happy Birthday dear Cy. Love how he had some time alone with the special fireplace, blankets and books. He seemed so calm and content. What a great video and party. The Chimps sure enjoy the special menus you create. Thank you!!!

    Happy birthday Cy!!! I’ve said it a million times before; handsome, well-read, a great leader… What’s not to love about Cy?! Looks like everyone else had a great time, too. I assume either Rayne or Lucky stopped by later for the Lucy book? 😉
