In Memory of Dublin

Here is my brother Dublin as a baby ...My mom/secretary has been sad today...cuz he left us exactly three years ago today...

I miss him lots & lots...but now I have my new little Monkey Stick Brother to keep in line & I know Dublin would want me to do a good job...

I hope I can be as good of a big sister to my monkey stick little brother as you were to me...

If tears could build a stairway,

& memories a lane..

I'd walk right up to heaven,

& bring you home again...

The Five Stages of Grief - (its not a Monkey Stick...) by Randi

DENIAL..................The monkey stick was supposed to stay in the cage.
ANGER................ The Monkey Stick moves too much.
BARGAINING...Here, Monkey Stick...take this bone, I mean, this banana.
DEPRESSION....I'm going to sleep on MY cot under MY sun FOREVER.

ACCEPTANCE....I can't help it...He's on my footie.

Love & Licks,

Randi

ps....THIS IS MY BLOG YOU FUZZY MONKEY STICK!

Pss...a word from MY mom/secretary: Sorry everyone its been a busy couple weeks...Randi's new little brother Kenney (his puppy name - still not sure on what we are calling him) is home & its taken a week..but Randi initiated the first game of bitey face yesterday & they have been playing off & on (with Randi's permission, of course) since then. He's a 4 month old, 55lb explosion of black fuzz. Very laid back & quite a funny little guy - very clumsy! Hoping to get more pics up soon...

My Fuzzy Black Monkey Stick (Brother???)

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????
I guess MY monkey stick didn't come in orange...He is black...& fuzzy...REALLY FUZZY... & here's an operational manual that came in the mail - which must mean that besides making a lot of honkey honkey noise, he will actually move! Like Pinocchio!...But my monkey stick hasn't arrived yet...I guess he's on back order... So really, I'm not worrying too much about a toy that will honk & maybe move a limb every now & then...

But I guess my mom & dad decided that instead of Fed-Exing my new toy, they are going to drive to get him...so I'm off to my pet resort tonight! For a whole week! I'm super excited...I get to vacation for a whole week & then come home to a huge honking brand new toy!

So I'll be back next week...

Love & Licks,
Randi

ps...My mom keeps telling me that fuzzy thing is my new little brother - not a monkey stick toy...WHATEVER!

WTF Wednesday! A Little Brother? Or a Monkey Stick?

WTF Wednesday is right!~ Look what I found in my bedroom today! A MONKEY CAGE! & the only monkey I can even think of coming to live with me that is big enough for his cage is this monkey below:
WALLY'S BIG HONKING MONKEY STICK! If you scroll down on that linky, you can find Wally's most favoritest Monkey Stick! I certain that Wally Angel has sent me this big cage to house a B.H.M.S... & since I've never had the privilage of having a B.H.M.S., he knew I'd need a big honking cage to keep one!

I'm certain that's what the cage is for...I mean, what else could it be???? I've completely IGNORED my mom & dad when they tell I'm getting a little brother...I mean, don't they mean a Big Honking Monkey Stick?

Anyone's help is greatly appreciated!

Love & Licks,
Randi
