Foxie’s 49th Birthday!

August 8, 2025 by Sabrina

 

We’re throwing a party for Foxie’s 49th birthday, and it’s a big one. Her favorite human, Katelyn, went all out — she planned everything from start to finish and showed up on her day off to make sure it was just right for Foxie. On the menu: homemade avocado ice cream (yes, the staff got in on that too), watermelon bowls piled high with fruit and veggies, and rounds of berry smoothie shooters to top it all off.

Enjoy today’s short teaser video of the festivities and stay tuned tomorrow for the rest of the footage of Foxie’s group as well as Cy’s groups, George and Honey B’s crew!

 

 

Foxie enjoying her watermelon bowls out on Young’s Hill:

 

Foxie’s caregiver’s for today also had a friendly competition to see who could draw her beloved Strawberry Shortcake doll and these were then judged by Foxie’s favorite biped, caregiver Katelyn!
The winner in 1st place is Sabrina, followed by Anna in 2nd place and Ellen in 3rd place with Kelsi, Jenna and Krissy all in a tie for 4th

The small drawings then became part of the party decorations!

    Katelyn, you gave up your day off to throw her a party. You truly are a Foxie friend.
    I wanted some of those berry shooters myself!
    Looks like she had fun.
    I always laugh at Neggie for handing out “thank you kisses” to everyone before eating, then I immediately worry about whether she was anle to land anything, bc I saw Bubba headed over to “her” spot. First, it was the spot inside the tire, now he’s discovered her scale spot!

    You all throw the absolute best! parties! Foxie did seem delighted with that doll. The strawberries looked perfect, and I suspect the flavor of everything was premier. Glad to see dear Negra is still moving along. These are some lucky chimps, even on normal days. Bravo!
    Happy Happy Birthday, Foxie Lady!

    Happy birthday to Foxie! :heart_eyes:Katelyn, you are a true blue friend, planning this incredible party and coming in on your day off for your sweet BFF Foxie! No wonder you are her favorite person.

    The fruit bowls look scrumptious. The art contest was brilliant and must have been tricky to judge. But, as expected, it appears Foxie was most smitten with the first doll! I love her claps to request a return of the doll — please and thank you.

    I get so excited to see these parties because you all put your hearts into them. Seeing the little dolls arranged arounds the smoothies almost brought tears to my eyes. Bless you!

    Oh my word, there must be some mistake. Foxie at 49?.That delightful lady has all the exuberance of a 20 year old. You sure pulled out all the stops in making sure that there were birthday celebrations galore. Truly a joy to behold. Happy birthday Foxie!
