Juliet Claims Me as Her Own
In my last post, I talked about Juliet appearing being afraid of me and loving toward Jessie. Well that has all changed. A day or so ago, as I was chasing Juliet around the room, she just stopped running and let me catch her. From that point on she has been my monkey. Her and Jessie have not been getting along at all. She percived Jessie trying to take her food and bit Jessie about four times. Not real hard bites but hard enough to break the skin and leave nasty looking bruises.
Jessie’s been trying hard to be friends with her again with mix success. tonight Juliet showed her jealous side. A filipina friend came over and Juliet started throwing things at her. She made it clear she didn’t like the girl. Jessie gave her (Jean) a hug and Juliet didn’t like that either.
Juliet threw a major fit, tossing things, giving Jean the monkey glare they do as a threat. It can be a fairly intimidating stare down.
On the good side, Juliet and I are now the best of friends. She waits for me to pick her up now and she loves to sit on my shoulder for hours, sleeping there and grooming me. Problem is she also urinates on me at will. Grrrr, I’m running out of shirts!
I’ll be able to take her walking whenever I’m ready. She’s still a little shaky. Her balance is not as good as it should be but she’s getting stronger. Her hips are still really sore. Jessie has made a really nice “belt” to put around her waist. We tried and tried to make a harness around her but the little Houdini kept slipping out of it.
She’s definitely acting like Kong now. Like I said to start, these little monkeys are full of attitude.
The welder has the materials for her cage, I’m looking forward to having it finished. He has some other jobs in front of ours. It appears he does a lot of work like this.
It appears, like most Filipina, Juliet is a crazy jealous woman that expects me to be in an exclusive relatitonship only with her! Problem is, she’s a Philippine Monkey!

Hello,
I love the stories about your monkey!
Good luck with her. Any chance you’ll be breading her?
Thanks LOVER.
I hope to breed her but I don’t know if that will ever happen.
You do mean with another monkey right?
Sounds like things are starting to smooth out now. Hope it stays that way.
I worry all the time Tom because of the way we lost George… I think she’s been living on mostly spiders and insects for the last year. her health is not good. Bound to have had some damage to her long term.
She gets cold in my bedroom as we have aircon there. George did okay with it but she has no fat.
But we feed her as much as she will eat to get her fattened up.
I hope she and Jessie work things out.
The way she’s acting, it might be best to bread her with a cat! LOL
I told you this monkey did not like girls at all because she’s been teased and thrown stones at by girls at her previous home. Of course, she had to play hard to get first, didn’t she?
I thought you said you were going to put nappies on her?
So did you en up doing the wide belt thingy?
yeah hard to get.
I wa surprised to see her take to Jessie the way she did.
I think her back leg is a problem for her and I hurt her the first day when I pulled on her chain, took her a while to get over that.. During that time she tried to make Jessie an ally but she finally decided I wasn’t going to hurt her and now Jessie is just another woman trying to take her man. LOL
She likes Jessie better than other girls..
its really funny when she starts throwing things.
I was going to put her in nappies but jessie pointed out that she had a tail. what are we doing to do with the tail? I think she’s too old for that too. I was anticipating a smaller monkey. Got first pictures with her on my shoulder. She towers above my head compared to George.
I would like to try to put some on her. I’ve learned they have dog diapers in the states but I douubt that would be a high demand item here! I can see how it can be done. maybe Jessie can make a diaper for her? At least for our walks.
She lets jessie wrap her up in a sarong which really shocked me.
Yes the belt and it is bothering her. Jessie is going to try to make one slightly larger.
Well I’ve turned the aircon up so I’ll try to bring her in now.
