Woohoo! Missy Chimpanzee is turning 49 today! And we’re sending our heartfelt thanks to Marcie Milam, a long-time friend and supporter of the chimpanzees and bovines, for sponsoring this extra special day of sanctuary and celebration!:

“Happy Birthday to a sweet and gentle lady, Missy. May your day be filled with running, relaxing grooming, laughing with your BFF Annie and tomatoes, lots of tomatoes all sizes and colors.”

Missy! Could not love, or be in awe of, her more:

She’s extraordinary:

    Sending a heart full of loving Happy Birthday wishes to Missy chimpanzee!! She was the first person who caught my eye and it was her past story, her athleticism, and her friendship with Annie that deeply endeared her to me.

    Let Tomatoes Rain From The Sky Today!!

      I have to add how thrilling it is, even now, to see that photo of Missy sitting high up in the trees! She looks so small for such huge moment!

    On behalf of her bestie, Annie, I wish Missy a tomato-filled birthday. She is the best athlete and self-taught dermatologist and podiatrist in the Pacific Northwest! Long may you run, and climb, Dr. M.
