Whiplash, the Cowboy Monkey

I'm going to Florida to visit my grandmother, and she lives not far from a chimp farm, where they take care of retired chimpanzees and other primates.

I'm not entirely sure how this happened, but I've been link-jumping and I ended up at a page about Whiplash, the Cowboy monkey. According to the site:
Whiplash the Cowboy monkey is truly a fan favorite, he is an international star and a true cowboy. He is an 18 yr old Capuchin Monkey and he is one of the biggest little monkeys in the world. Whiplash has been riding since he was two yrs old and has been a part of our family since he was born. Whiplash travels the country herding up wild Barbados sheep at rodeos and special events. His riding ability is unmatched and his herding skills unchallenged but whiplash never misses a chance to show his monkey heritage as he rides the dog he will pull the saddle from side to side and even hang off to one side mimicking an Indian hideaway.


Just look at him! His little hat makes my womb ache!

I mean, seriously!

I think I'm in love! He's a MONKEY COWBOY! WHO RIDES A DOG! A BORDER COLLIE, IMPORTED FROM SCOTLAND, TO BE EXACT!


Update: buy me merch!

hey bex,

Hope all's well. Those cowboy-monkey commercials are so kickass that they give me an ice-cream headache in my heart. And make me hungry for a burrito, which no other commercial can do ... other than some the ones that use killer Who tunes to sell SUVs, somehow.
