Ellen said it best yesterday, “We celebrated our forever valentines”. Cy loved the mail box this caregivers made for him, full of his favorite thing, but especially his paper hearts of him and Stanley Tucci. Please enjoy this video of Cy, Terry, Willy B, Gordo, Honey B, Mave, Lucky, Rayne, and Dora enjoying all their special treats yesterday!

    Heartfelt thanks to all the staff and volunteers who prepared such a lovely Valentine’s Day party. it looked like everyone enjoyed their favorite goodies. Has anyone told Stanley Tucci about his number one primate fan?

    I was going to ask the same thing, Gaynell!

    So was Stanley Tucci a lucky shot in the dark, or does Cy seem to prefer pics of him? Maybe he’d like some video? Or “The Devil Wears Prada”?
    I’m surprised no one scarfed down the chocolate pudding strawberries right away! I thought that those would be a prized item! and now I realize that there were indeed veggies present in this celebration, they were just hidden in the bags. And Gordo definitely does not like snap peas!

    The food barks and squeaks are contagious! If I had the requisite genetic material to share living quarters with Lucky and Terry, I would have reacted as they did to tray of their St. Valentine’s Day fruit treats.

    So, are Cyrus Chimpanzee and Stanley Tucci pals? I’m curious to know how that friendship came about. Or, did Cy spy an article in a magazine about the actor and take an interest in him? It helps to keep apprised of celebrities…

    Tobin, I saw a CSNW blog video sometime ago of Cy totally engrossed by photos of Stanley Tucci in maybe People magazine. I thought I’d buy a used Tucci cookbook to send to him. Then I realized the cookbook would have more photos of food, probably not of interest to Cy, as much as Stan the Man. As Linda suggested it may be a good idea to show a movie. The Big Night, 1996, is a film featuring wonderful Italian foid, so don’t watch it if you are hungry. Tucci is the star so Cy might enjoy it.

    Love seeing how excited they get in anticipation of the forages! Looks like a great party and much delicious food on offer!

    Thank you for the clarification. Now Cle Elum has a chapter of the Stanley. Tucci. fan. club.

    There’s pretty much nothing better than the clamoring and climbing, grunting and squeaking, coming from this group when there’s a celebration. But, some of the boys dance moves are truly my favorite! What fun seeing everyone enjoying their favorite treats.

    Now I need a brief explanation on the whole Stanley Tucci and Cy situation! This little tidbit of information just cracks me up! (Sorry Mr. Tucci, no disrespect intended) Please share how you discovered Cy’s fondness for his favorite celebrity.

    Someone who uses should tweet to Stanley Tucci with that video link! (I also think Jeff Goldblum needs to know about the Jeff Goldblum Birthing Center at Useless Farm :laughing:).
    I haven’t seen “The Big Night”, but “Devil Wears Prada” is a rom-com and he plays Andy’s mentor at work.

    We realized Cy loved Stanley Tucci based off the movies he enjoys!
