Look out below. . .

We've got a couple of little buddies that like to hang out near the tree houses, and with the dominant male, Julio, not around at the moment, these two little fellows have been making the most of their time around the tree houses. . .
Unfortunately, they like to make noise around 4 a.m. or so when they're up and about and we're trying to sleep. . . They drive Bejuca, the tree house pooch, absolutely batty. She tears through the jungle, racing around trying to scare them. . . She doesn't bark at them, she's been trained not to do so, but she still works herself into a frenzy. . . This is not a good thing, as Bejuca either has arthritis or something else bothering her, which weakens her back legs. . . And since she likes to rear up on her legs in a futile attempt to get at the furry critters, this puts a lot of strain, since she weighs over 60 pounds. . . The monkeys seemingly could care less that the dog is running amok below them, as they just keep hanging, swinging and eating away. . . Bejuca did get some comeuppance, or perhaps come-downance, the other day, when one of the monkeys let loose with a stream of wiz that hit her square in the head. . . Remember, and you've read it here before: Don't stand directly under a monkey.
