Today is 15/5/15!
I went to bed last night feeling thoroughly privileged. From yesterday onwards, I can say, “I was once bitten by a monkey!”
To be truthful, it was just a little nip, but it drew (a very little) blood and I have the (ever so small) mark to show…
But I can say I got bitten by a (cute, adorable) monkey.
It all began when Riana and I gave Sue a lift home from gym and we decided to pop in to say hello to Prince the Marmoset monkey. His is EVER SO CUTE, but very defensive and protective. He came out to greet us, keeping an eye on Sue to make sure she was okay…
Sue walked into the house, and I followed. Monkey leapt onto my shoulder, headed for my left ear and took a determined nip. He then went to my right shoulder and I was expecting a matching nibble, but it didn’t come. Before he could re-consider Sue grabbed him and he was marched away to the naughty corner (actually just to another room!).
He is the cutest pet, but needs specialised attention which Sue and her family dish out liberally. He has appeared on this blog before, when he was little…on Sue’s shoulder…
and helping her with her tea…
He’s a lot bigger now and just so absolutely adorable…
Awwwww!
You wouldn’t mind being nipped by him either!
Proverbs 12:10
The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
We are spending the weekend in Betty’s Bay. Glad that Truffles will be well looked after! She’s getting her winter coat on!
Yay for weekends!
Keep the smile going!
God bless you!
