Today Dora turned 35 with her friends by her side! Staff and volunteers crafted a lovely forage of avocado “toast” (aka primate chow dust mixed with banana) and berry sorbet. The wild yellow roses that grow on the property made for beautiful and delicious garnishes.
On the other side of the building, Jamie’s group enjoyed a similar party.
Missy and her party plate:
Negra devoured the avocado and roses!
Annie found some bonus boomer ball enrichment on Young’s Hill:
Happy birthday to this incomparable chimpanzee spirit!
Happy Birthday, Dora!!!:blush:
I hope you enjoyed your birthday.
You are a sweet and special young lady.
Oh, I hope Neggie left some avocado for my Foxie friend!
Kudos to the creative kitchen staff! You always have fun ideas! Those yellow roses make me nostalgic for my grandmother’s wild rose bush. They were so pretty.
Lol, Dora’s expression always says she knows what you’re thinking, and she’s not having it. None of it. :sweat_smile:
I just aDora our birthday girl. Maybe not as much as Maeve, of course, who was treating her bestie to a birthday grooming, but, trust me, a phone call between my friend Becky and me seldom transpires without us indulging in our oral fan fiction concerning the continuing adventures of Mora. In real life, though, I wish Dora a happy new year of living and, I hope, the gifts of courage and curiosity to check out the scenery on the Bray.
Happy birthday, sweet girl. Everything on your menu sounds delicious. I’m so happy you have such wonderful friends to share your special day with.
I am sending Dora the happiest of happy birthday wishes. 35 years old!!! Will this be the year Dora conquers the Bray?!
As always, the caterers did an excellent job! Avocado toast! Brilliant creating a custom chimp version. The yellow roses were beautiful. Looked as if Queen Negra had a dozen all to herself. Score one for Negra!! (She must be preparing for her upcoming birthday.) Wonderful seeing everyone enjoying this special day.
Hope Gordo had some Birthday fun. 🙂
Oh, sweet and sassy Dora, 35 and still going strong.I loved the video and photos particularly Annie with her boomer balls! Happy birthday, and enjoy your special day surrouned by dear friends and loads of tastie treats :sparkling_heart::tropical_drink:
Happy birthday to a sweet petite lady. Great job on the beautiful and colorful food plates for Dora’s party celebration.
Big happy birthday to the amazing sweet and spicy, tiny but mighty, Dora! Nothing beats good food with one’s chimpanzee friends. Followed by a nice grooming session with your BFF, Mave!
Glad to see Jamie’s group enjoying the festivities, too. Seeing Annie bipedal with her stash of boomer balls just tickles me!
Many happy returns of the day, little beauty! :rose::birthday::kiwi::strawberry::green_apple::popcorn::coconut:
