Happy Birthday, Missy!

August 23, 2013 by J.B.

Missy turned 38 today, and to celebrate we made the day all about her. Volunteers Patti and Annie brought some of Missy’s favorite foods and toys, and we did forages in the greenhouse and on Young’s Hill for breakfast. We also harvested cattails from the pond. Tonight, we’ll put out Kongs after dinner, which are her favorite food puzzles.

The Cle Elum Seven really have aged backwards since coming to the sanctuary – it’s hard to believe that playful, active Missy is 38 years old. Let’s hope she never acts her age.

    I’m all for that wish that Missy never acts her age, and love it every time I see a photo or video of her running around! Bless you Missy, and belated Happy Birthday! Many more good years to you, you little busy-bee chimp!

    What a great video! Is there anything better than watching a Chimpanzee eat a peanut? Thanks for sharing Missy’s special day with us!
