La Toya Jackson finds out what happened to Bubbles the chimp in a recent special on Animal Planet. Michael Jackson gave up Bubbles in 2004 and this is the first time member of the Jackson family has been to see him.

Patti Regan, director of the Center for Great Apes in Florida, prepares La Toya Jackson for her first visit with Bubbles, Michael Jackson’s famous chimp, after many years.

She warns La Toya he likes to spit a mouthful of water at new people which is awesome.

No he didn't become an assassin

Where the two reunite it’s emotional and touching. As far as the mouthful of water thing goes, La Toya isn’t exactly a new person. If he did spit water at her it isn’t shown here.

La Toya repeats his name over and over in an attempt to get him to remember her. It almost feels like the third person who would have been a part of their interaction is there again. If you didn’t realize MJ was more than just a pop star, he was a family member, you’ll realize it in this video. It’s like she might as well have been saying Michael, Michael over and over.

She is clearly still grieving which is logical as it hadn’t been a year yet since her brother’s death when this was filmed. Sometimes the other Jacksons seem like they want to spotlight, but this felt like a good move for La Toya. I liked this for her. Pets can be wonderful healers. Maybe she got some closure.
