So many thanks to dearest long-time friend of the sanctuary, Kathleen Corby, for sponsoring this very special day of sanctuary in celebration of Missy, who is turning 50 miraculous years old today!
“Today Missy turns 50! An astonishing accomplishment considering Missy almost didn’t make it out of LEMSIP to travel with the rest of the Cle Elum Seven to their new sanctuary home because of a health concern. Not to be ignored, Missy is an amazing, exuberant athlete, even now as she turns 50! I have a special pocket in my heart for Missy. When I first followed the blog, Missy was easily recognizable so I grew attached to her. Missy, BFF to Annie and the pine tree climber. Happy Birthday! xoxo”
Missy had her first opportunity to climb a tree at the age of 47 and she didn’t waste a moment. It’s safe to say that’s how she’s approached every day of her sixteen plus years in sanctuary. We love her so. (We are so grateful to have several sponsors for Missy today – be sure to tune back in later for her party!):
Annie and Missy, an oldie, but goodie:
Thanks Kathleen!! What an amazing chimp. My heart just swells to see Missy at 50! Because of YOU and others and the amazing care at CSNW.
Missy oh Missy! We’ll never forget how her world changed with the opening of Young’s Hill. We can’t believe it has been 16 years! Happy Birthday sweet Missy. Love the photo with you with a mouth full of flowers!
We, and Missy and Neggie and Jamie, etc, thank you for that once again
Action Missy!
Thank you Kathleen, for sponsoring the bday of the sanctuary spark plug! Everybody, go get you some tomaters and join in on the fun!
Thanhs, Kathleen for sponsoring your dear fruend’s 50th birthday. And thanks Katelyn for the photos of Missy in action. They are almost like looking at a video in slow motion. we must all remember we are never too old to climb a tree or run and jump.
Thank you, Kathleen! :hibiscus:
