It was a truly special occasion for Clyde and Jennifer as they spent time amongst our lively little mob of meerkats.
Yesterday was their 59th wedding anniversary!
Meerkats are their favourite animal, so the family arranged this special surprise for them.
It’s been a tough time for them all, with Clyde in palliative care, but they were able to find a break in the rain and bring him and Jennifer out to Billabong Sanctuary for their first-ever encounter with a real live meerkat.
The meerkats did not disappoint, clambering all over them and nibbling on their favourite treats. Clyde was surprised to find that they are so sociable.
From all of us here: Happy 59th Anniversary, Clyde and Jennifer! We are so pleased we could help you celebrate this amazing milestone. See you next year for your 60th!
