Monkey Suit?
Julie has been trying to figure out doors and has made some progress. I came down the steps a few days ago and found her holding the door open for me.
Juliet, Our Filipino Monkey and Doorman
Actually, she knows there is food inside and I think she was hoping I’d bring her some back out with me. I couldn’t help but think she’d look cool all dressed up like a doorman.
Her interest in the door was peaked a few days earlier when Jermain (2 years old) came out the door when we were not expecting it and Juliet promptly jumped on his head. She didn’t hurt him, she knows he’s a baby and just wanted to take care of him. I got her off him quickly and he was upset and began to cry which upset her and she then started trying to get into the door to get to him.
She was really upset and started “talking” to me with her squeeks and purrs. Different than a cat purrs, its close to the same sound she makes when she’s in a bit of an attack mode but much softer. She then moved on to grooming me.
Juliet doesn’t mean to be rough, well most of the time. Jessie messes with her and she gets rough with Jessie but Juliet is mostly playing then too. Juliet plays a bit rough.
She’s doing very well. She doesn’t limp any more but she holds her left leg a bit odd. It wont ever be 100%. She’s still got knots/nodles on her legs where the old chain use to rub her legs. Her belly is not all bruised and red any more though. I’m sure her spine will always be bent.

Hi Rusty, She’s just so cute. I meant to tell you how cute she looked sitting on your head the other day but I forgot. I love her eyelids. I’m glad she’s doing well, although still up to her old tricks.
Yeah she’s tricky alright but then I would expect her to act like a monkey.
I noticed that at night when she’s sleeping those eyelids look a bit like shiny eyes if she hold her head up but usually she doesn’t when she’s sleeping.
Still that gives her a false eye, just a bit more of an edge in the wild. Some other animal might be unsure if she’s spotted them or not. Its kind of eerie looking too.
I wonder if I could take Juliet to the dress maker to get her to make Juliet a monkey suit.
Anything’s possible Rusty, but would she sit still for her fitting? LOL
No she would not, unless I held her arms and legs. I don’t know what I’d do about the teeth.
Actually she probably wouldn’t bite if i was holding her. That probably word is the problem.
Hi Rusty! I had read ur blog regarding ur primate Juliet and i was quite amazed because she looks like our NOMO (female primate). I had just come across this link and would like to share to u too our dear Nomo’s pic if ur interested and maybe we can help each others out on how to understand our primate more…pls send me email if interested NOMO is a trained tame monkey and she is not even caged …she is only leashed and play with our 3 dogs (lab X dachshund, a great dane and a toy poodle) and our 5 months old baby too…My husband is a danish and I’m a filipina and we are living in Manila. Hope to hear from u soon. Best regards to u and ur family.
Good stuff, thanks for posting. I was actually looking for something else and this site came up lol. Oh well, 2 minutes of my life gone! Totally worth it though!
