Thanks so much to Mike Stockdale for sponsoring today in celebration of August birthday revelers, his wife, Terry, along with Foxie and Missy AND with extra love for George!
“I would like to sponsor a day of sanctuary for Foxie and Missy during their birthday month, an extra special treat to welcome George and to celebrate my wife Terry’s 75th birthday on August 14th.”
What a month of celebrations! Terry, all of us here wish you the best birthday yet and many thanks to you and Mike for choosing to include the chimpanzees in your lives and special days! We appreciate you! Missy hopes you get lots of tomatoes for your birthday! 😉
Foxie (who just turned 49 on August 8th!):
Missy (who is turning 50 on August 23rd!):
And sweet George, who we recently welcomed!
Thank you, Moke and Terry! Hope it’s an amazing day!
Mike
Linda, your typo is interesting- and I got excited for a moment. Do you know Moke (means “Junior”) is a now-7-year old gorilla, born at the Smithsonian? His birth was filmed, and is still available on the web. He was quite famous for awhile and, since I’m on this side of the country I got to see him when he was young.
I did not know that, Mo, thx! Yes, a typo. Clumsy thumbsy + phone keyboard = typos:grin:
And I forgot to comment on our chimps today. Thank you, Mike, and Happy Birthday, Terry. These are some great photos, showing how beautiful our friends are. Foxie with her beautiful smile, Missy, so athletic, and sweet George, who always looks so happy. It’s a pleasure following these chimp people daily.
Have a spectacular day, Terry! You are in good birthday company celebrating with Foxie and Missy! Thank you, Mike, for sponsoring today and helping the sanctuary.
Many happy returns of this special day, Terry! :sun_with_face: Mike, thank you for your generosity! :monkey_face:

Thank you, Mike. That was super sweet of you.

And a Happy and enjoyable birthday to you, Terry. May it please you to learn that you share a public debut anniversary day with Seattle and “the Far Side”s Gary Larson. Sam

Same August 14, same number of birthdays, and the same love of, and interest in, people like George, Foxie, Missy, and Meredith.
Thank you Mike. Happy Birthday Terry and many more. I hope you enjoy your favorite food and spend the day doing what gives you joy.
