    What a wonderfully yummy party! Pomegranates, coconuts, and fruit kabobs!! All were a big hit. Yay George for making off with two bags of popcorn. Your celebrations never disappoint. Hugs to each and every one of you. Cheers to 2026!

    Is it any wonder that George squeaks so much at mealtimes or when they have a party? He must think he’s in heaven with all that yummy food he gets now. Add in some new friends, chimpy and human variety and a big space to run in and life couldn’t get any better.I know he loved cherries when they were in season, but I haven’t been able to work out if he has any regular favourites, and has he learned yet how to open coconuts? Every day an adventure!

    You all sure know how to put on a great show. Food glorious food and it was heart ? warming to see George tucking in to his goodies, very much part of the gang in his forever home. Let 2026 be a bumper one for everyone. Happy New Year from sunny Sydney, with love and good cheer, and a huge “thank you” thrown in xxx.
