Juliet, The Crazy Philippine Monkey
Juliet is a riot. Juliet is crazy (buang). She carries out many more monkey like act than George ever did. Hope she doesn’t get herself into a bad place with her antics.
Last night I gave her a shower and then tied her to the shower curtain rod to let her finish drying. She gets cold in my bedroom even when she’s not wet! She shivers! George never did that except just a little bit right after a shower. She does it all day long if I let her stay in the bedroom. I don’t think she’s able to regulate her temperature correctly. She has very little fat on her. She’s still mostly bone in her hip area. I hope its not some kind of internal organ failure. Just like me to suspect the worse. 
Swinging Monkey
We heard a crash in the bathroom and when I opened the door, Juliet was sitting on her pole as if nothing had happened. So I went to lay down and bang again. Once again, she was on the pole acting as if nothing had happened which was funny. This time I waited at the door a few moments then I opened the door and there she was swinging by her waist, dangling from the pole and scampered back up it acting as if nothing was going on! She was busted! She is a riot.
Last night, we were outside on the porch. Jessie got her some milk. She poured it in an empty can for her, about the size of a tuna fish can. Juliet inhaled it so Jessie got her some more. This time she drank only about half of it and started to play in it. Jessie was staying just out of her reach. Juliet often threatens her when I’m there but only when I’m there.
Monkey Missile
Jessie was sitting on the steps and I saw Jessie get up all of a sudden. Next thing I saw was Juliet tossing the can at Jessie! She is such a mess.
She also guards the house from cats. When she smells one she “barks” at it. Kind of a of monkey growl. When she sees it she bobs up and down, I think in an effort to make herself look bigger. If I where to let her go, she would without doubt attack that cat! I’m sure she learned this when she was in the wild. Cats are probably deadly for baby monkeys but she was pretty much a baby when she was in the wild.
Monkey Attacks
The night before that, the kids were outside with us. Jermain, the 2 year old thinks he knows everything, of course. We kept telling him to stay away from the Unggoy. And he just wouldn’t listen. I told him unggoy mama-ak! Monkey bite! Then he got within her range and pounce. She was on his head. All four feet on top of his head and she wasn’t letting go! It was funny in hind sight. She didn’t try to hurt him, she just wanted him. She wanted to groom him. That’s what she does to me. After that, we didn’t have any problem getting him to stay far away from the monkey. We humans, we have to lean everything the hard way.
Two Year Old and A Monkey
A not so happy moment with her, she bit Jessie hard about two days ago. Jessie has all but given up on being friends with her now. She bit her pretty hard. Its a little scary. I’m surprised she doesn’t want me to get rid of her after the last attack. My mind drifted. I was blocking Juliet from Jessie as Jessie was trying to make the place a bit more monkey friendly. I had my mind on eating. I can’t do that. When with a wild animal, you can’t let your guard down. She’s just a monkey, she can’t do serious damage to me, at least not yet.. I’m much stronger than she is and she knows it. She never threatens me.
Her cage is almost ready. We are suppose to get it tomorrow! Looking forward to that. Her hair is falling out where the locks from her waist band rub her. 
Or maybe its the medicine we’ve been putting on her wounds from the chain. I guess we need to get her some velvet covered locks. I think I know where to get those. LOL I don’t want to say as I don’t want the search engines to misclassify my site. That is with a mature theme!
Feeling Filipino
For me, having a Philippine monkey in our household makes me feel, well, more Filipino. A pet like this in the USA would probably cost around a thousand dollars, though I don’t know as I’ve never seen a monkey for sale in the US.
I hope she and Jessie can become friends. I hope she keeps providing us with laughter. When she threw that can at Jessie we both burst out laughing. Jessie probably wouldn’t have found it nearly as funny had Juliet soaked her with the milk still left in the can.

Oh, Juliet sounds so fun but she is smart. She doesn’t want any one messing with her man!! I can understand that concept. Why does she have to stay in the cage? And for how long a day? Is it just when you are gone?
This is one of the reasons I take her walking with me. Well I will. I’ve only taken her once so far. Still trying to make sure we have a good bond before I take her out in public. But anything that stimulates her is good for her. I get her out several times during the day and let her sit on my shoulder but after about 30 minutes, she’s bored with that and becomes a pain when I’m trying to write.
The bond is strong enough, so I will start taking her more often. I plan to walk this afternoon and I plan to take her.
Yesterday for my walk I went down to the lovely dress shop to have another shirt made for me and then I went to see Jesse, the Bonsai master that lives just up the hill. Feels more like a mountain. LOL Neither of those places are good for a monkey to be.
I’m hoping to get a diaper on her today but I don’t expect that to go well. LOL
She’s in the cage most of thee time. It has to be that way. We can take her out of the cage only when she is chained. That is for several reasons, I must be able to control her in case she decides to act like a wild monkey. She would be gone in a flash if she could but then she would die. In one word it is because she is wild.
I don’t want to leave her chained as the chain that was on her before hurt her very badly. She’s got scars. She has some kind of injury to her back leg that is related to the chain. We have created a collar for her made of nylon but even that hurts her. The less time its on the better she does. I’m hoping that if we can keep it off her for a while, whatever is wrong will heal. She has wounds from her old chain and the scars on her really make me angry. We give her aspirin for the pain too. They call it something else here but I think that’s what it is.
I have a large cage coming, supposedly on Tuesday. Its 10 feet long, 7 feet high and 5 feet deep. It will be the most freedom that she’s had in a long time and I’ll be able to take the chain off her. Its being made of steal pipe and mesh so that she can’t get out and kids can’t hurt her. its costing almost $200. Someone donated $75.00 to it, I’m thinking of asking for donations as i can’t afford it but not likely I’ll get any.
She is very smart. Jessie took some video of her last night throwing the basket ball and can. We took it with the camera as I’m out of Hi8 video tape.
Its too dark. I’m trying to get her to work with it and brighten it up, very time consuming. I don’t have the time to do it.
Might post what I have but its really too dark.
Last night she nailed our 9 year old with the can. It still had a little milk in it which he thought was completely gross, not sure why as it was only on his foot.
Still funny though. We kind of expect it now so its loosing the unexpected effect. I wonder what she’ll do next.
I’ve almost forgotten you’ve got this site as well. At least it’s good to see Juliet bonding to you. I don’t know if there is any hope for Jess & Juliet getting close. I hope they will.
I think they will but right now they are too afraid of each other. For some reason, Juliet loves to gently bite Jessie but she gets more agreesive with it. Monkey’s do this to each other as a sign of affection.
Most of the time she wants to cuddle with Jessie, she loves her as much as a monkey can love but then sometimes things don’t go so well.
Juliet is a total baby in my arms now. She just loves for me to scratch her belly and chest.
She’s a wee bit afraid in her new cage as she’s out there alone. But she really loves it. I’ll post an update about her soon.
Rusty, I could never find that quick messaging box of yours when I need it.
How is Juliet? can you take her to the vet? Hope she’s not too bad. It will break my heart too if she dies on you. She is just starting a better life with you, I don’t even want to think of her dying after so many years in cruel conditions…..
The message box your looking for is under “The Breeze” you can find the link a the top of the site.
Juliet is doing fine as best as I can tell!
