MONKEY IS MAKING PROGRESS!

WHAT AN AWESOME DAY WE ARE HAVING!!! My almost friend Monkey is making sooo much progress :) We will be snuggle buddies soon--i can just feel it!  

Last night I slept by Chelsea's door where Monkey is.  I want him to feel safe, and know that I am there for him.  I like to whisper things to him to let him know that I am there, and that the people here are so good. 

And when we got up this morning, mom and chelsea got out the treats!  I was a bit of a show-off when they opened the door so that Monkey could see how cool I was!  I showed him how we can sit for treats or lie down for treats...and how to work them for extra treats!  Monkey did a great job with his first lesson from me!  He was milking it for all it was worth!  He even ate out of Chelsea's hand. 

But of course, he is still a little nervous when I get too close.  But it was so fun!!!

And then, before mommy left for work, we had some more all roommate bonding time!  And boy is Monkey on his way to being a GQ model like me :)  We got close enough to take a picture of him too! 

And while mommy was at work, and Chelsea went in to visit him...HE LET HER RUB HIM!!!! AHHHHH!  I AM SO PROUD OF MY ALMOST FRIEND! 

And how about this.  Mommy calls herself the mean one when it comes to Monkey.  well guess what? NOT ANY MORE!  MOMMY AND MONKEY HAD A BONDING MOMENT WHEN SHE GOT HOME FROM WORK!!! As I laid outside the door making sure mom was ok, he jumped in her lap when she sat on the floor and then begged her to rub him.  I got sooo excited I let out a MEOW of praise!  I guess he heard this, and came over to the closed door and played paws with me under the door!!!

YAY ALMOST BEST FRIEND MAKING PROGRESS!

But I know that there is still a long way to go and we are gonna go day by day :)
