    Oh, what an exciting day that must have been. I love the picnic decor and menu. Happy anniversary to the Lucky Six.

    Exactly my reaction, Anna! “Already!?”

    Terry was beside himself! Corn!!!
    And Dora’s happy toes were going!
    Jenna you throw a hood party!

    Wow, four years already! Were the 6 housed together at WWS or did you have to integrate them?

      I think they were together. And I think they said Dora and Honey B seemed to recognize each other, the way they think Annie and Missy may have met before

      They arrived as one cohesive group!

    Happy Anniversary and a gorgeous way to celebrate with a picnic in the sunshine. Home Sweet Home. It was a sad day for the WWS volunteers saying goodbye to their remaining chimpanzees but at least they can rest assured that at CSNW their “babies” found a loving and caring forever home. Did any of the WWS volunteers visit CSNW?

    Joy! Happiness! Smiles! And sunshine! Just a sampling of what I experienced watching the excitement on everyone’s face!

    The initial action at the mesh might be the most excited I ever seen Lucky and Co. I’m convinced they knew exactly what today’s celebration was all about and they were ready groom, dance, hoot, and rub toes to show their enthusiasm and appreciation!

    Happy 4 year anniversary to everyone!
