I can now say I’ve had a monkey for a pet! Last week, during clinic, someone sold Jenni a monkey and so now we have a monkey to play with. Actually, our duties consist mostly of cleaning up after him and changing his diaper. Yep, we made diapers out of old socks. The need for the monkey to be wearing a diaper at all times quickly became apparent after going through multiple changes of clothes in one day. So we made diapers…The monkey is quite small, about the size of a small kitten. His hands are so cute! Tiny little fingernails too! He loves to cuddle and cling to everyone! He’s so lovable, yet some of the SM’s aren’t so in love with him. Some not so affectionate names, such as Monster, Terror, and Pooper are quite common with the monkey-haters. Kristin and David have even been plotting different ways to give the monkey as food to Cheva, our beloved, yet dumb rotweiler who has shown quite a bit of interest in eating the monkey on a number of occasions. Cheva has already killed one of the baby sheep and is looking to expand her tastes with monkey meat. So, it’s an on-going battle everyday to save the little monkey!
