River No More...




The monkeys tend to change as they adapt to their new families. River is a prime example. The longer he has been with Doug and has hung out with his brother, Zeke, the more he has come even further out of his shell and gotten in touch with the more musical side of his nature! So much so, that he does not even go by the name "River" any longer. These days, he is known as ROCK STAR JOE! And he is one COOL monkey!

The monkeys were all so sweet to pause in the playing long enough this afternoon for a quick group photo! They are all loving these wonderfully sunny days!

Emily is sporting new duds. Meanwhile, George came back to the orphanage specifically to get a new outfit... He is pleased with what we came up with for him. He thinks Grace will be delighted with the outfit, too! We sure were glad to get to visit with him again!

Meanwhile, Doug has changed River's name to "Rock Star Joe". Joe is getting fully in the swing of his new identity, borrowing Doug's sunglasses which do go nicely with his sporty new shirt!

The next couple of monkeys to be adopted will receive bonus quilted pillows to take home with them! Each pillow was hand made by Lambchop and Clyde's new mom in Nome, Alaska.

Photo of the Most Recent Group:

These are the current residents of the Monkey Orphanage who are awaiting adoption! (Someone has put in an application for Eunice. She is the only one spoken for out of this group! All the rest are still looking for families of their own!)


Eunice, Henrietta, Martin, River, Grover, Grace, and Buddy!

We are particularly interested in finding a family for Grover. He is not adjusting well at all to life here at the Monkey Orphanage. We had a near catastrophe yesterday involving the local animal control officer after SOMEONE opened the back gate and INVITED Ransom out to run LOOSE all over town! We feel it would be in Grover's best interest for him to move out of the orphanage as soon as possible. We are certain there is a home out there that would be just right for him...maybe one with a custom padded room, or something!


UPDATE: Grover, Martin, River, and Grace have also since been adopted. Only Henrietta, and Buddy are still available out of this particular group of monkeys.

River...still waiting...



River is trying not to be too blue as she waits for a family.

Preparing for Farewells...

The first group of monkeys are about to leave the orphanage! Clyde and Lambchop will be flying to Nome, Alaska to live with Lisa, while Rose and Mokihana are setting out soon for Normal, Illinois to live with sisters Anni and Frankie. Grace and River can't help but feel sad that they haven't found homes yet. Meanwhile, Zeke, Lily, and Kevin are feeling wistful about the soon departure of their dear friends because their own permanent home is the orphanage (having been adopted early on by orphanage workers Doug and Rayna). They love living at the orphanage...but, it's still hard when they see their friends moving on. So...they all decided to have a farewell party at the park...to end this chapter on a happy note, playing together one last time before they set out on their own individual adventures! (Clyde even mustered up his courage and spent some time high up the branches of their favorite tree! He says that hanging out in the tree is helping him get used to the idea of FLYING in a PLANE to Alaska. He has also taken to wearing clothes--something he found really weird at first, but which he thinks will be a good habit to have formed once he winds up in a place that is twenty to thirty degrees BELOW zero much of the year!)

Our Newest Arrival!
RIVER Needs a Home...



Name: River
Date of Arrival: April 5, 2010

About Me: I bet you could guess by his name, that River loves swimming!!! He can spend hours and hours just playing in the water! He's also won a gold banana for speed swimming as well! River is also does gymnastics, and he loves doing flips and twists off the diving board! He is a very friendly monkey and he likes making new friends all the time. He likes playing in McDonalds play places and especially loves monkey bars at the park. He cant wait to be adopted into a loving home. :) If River is the monkey for you, email us at dublinlin@hotmail.com
