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.
It looks like Missy had a Very Happy Birthday indeed!!! It is just a joy to see the videos and see them all so happy and healthy.
Missy, you are absolutely darling!! Happy birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Missy. Looks like you had a very special day. The video footage was excellent. I loved the close up shots. Beautiful young lady.
When will we know which chimp won the contest? I know I voted every day!
HSUS will announce the winners on August 29th. We anxiously await the news. Thank you for voting!
Missy and I are the exact same age! She’s makin’ 38 look good!
Happy Birthday dear Missy. (a day late). You are beautiful and sooo youthful for your age and we all know why! 🙂 Cattails!! Yum!!
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!
happy birthday sweet Missy – you are ageless! DOREEN and I send all our love to you ..enjoy your very very special day!
What a great video! Is there anything better than watching a Chimpanzee eat a peanut? Thanks for sharing Missy’s special day with us!
