Happy Birthday, Missy, from Tobin and Annie!

August 23, 2025 by Katelyn

Many thanks to Tobin for also sponsoring today in celebration of Missy’s birthday on behalf of Missy’s BFF Annie!

Annie and Missy have been in one another’s lives far longer than they’ve been in sanctuary together. How extraordinary, after all they’ve been through, that these two best friends have both reached their fifties together. Thank you much for honoring their special friendship, Tobin!

    Thank you, Tobin (and “Annie”)!

    This remains one of my favorite Annie-Missy / Missy-Annie pics. You can tell it’s them because of Annie’s hands, and Missy’s short-necked bod in froggy pose.

    Forever and a day. That’s how long Annie and Missy’s friendship will last. Thank you, Tobin and Annie, for sponsoring Missy’s 50th in honor of this special friendship we all love.

    Tobin, I’m curious. How did Annie contact you so you could place this sponsorship? Did she write you a letter? Does she have your direct line? Or, did she give you a signal in one of the blog posts? Please, you must share the details. 🙂

    Kathleen, i think Tobin and Annie had a primate mind meld. They both were concentrating hard on a good friend’s birthday. And thank you CSNW for giving these two best friends their best chimp lives. Happy 50th Missy.

    Oh, I just that Annie was so busy this summer assisting Dr. Missy in veterinary dermatology practice that I wanted to facilitate Annie’s birthday present to her soulmate. I hope that the two of them have a very birthday celebration.
