Party in the Chimp House

May 27, 2023 by Sabrina

It was a fun filled day in the chimp house with a party for Mave’s Unbirthday, which is today! We have since learned her birthday is actually September 25th but we decided to celebrate both of her birthdays because.. why not?
We also threw forage party for Jamie’s group so everyone could partake in the celebration:

Sweet Annie

Burrito using a purse to carry his goods

Foxie loving her green onions

Life advice: Find someone who looks at you the way Jamie looks at her corn on the cob

Missy

Negra was first in line to collect all her favorite items

 

On the other side of the chimp house the group of nine had hollowed out pineapples stuffed with fruits and veggies as well as some juice pools to keep them busy!

Mave was so excited for her Unbirthday treats that we could hardly even find her sitting still long enough for a photo:

Gordo can’t decide how much is too much to fit in his mouth

Dora, quiet contemplation at the juice pools

Willy B with his pineapple

    Those pineappke bowls could be a big hit on a restaurant menu. They look delicious. Foxie i love to eat green onions too. but always carry a mint to not drive away friends in close conversation after.

    Great photos, Sabrina. The nutritious pineapple bowls are colorful and a work of art, lucky chimps.

    Now that’s what I call a party! For both sides! Happy UnBirthday to sweet, floofy, freckly, Mave!! If any of you caregivers are looking for a side hustle, I suggest catering or party planning. The pineapple bowls are brilliant. They look so fresh and scrumptious.

    Thanks, Sabrina, for loading up multiple photos of each chimp. Next best thing to bring there.

      That last line should read: “Next best thing to being there.”
