Yesterday MOM picked me up from Bert's on her way home from St. Anne's Homeless Shelter. I was happy happy to see her. This week I have not spent as much time as I think I should have with her. I couldn't wait for us to get home and spend some time together. You know, belly rubs, hugs, walking in the grass, ear scratches, just hanging out together, just me and her. Imagine my surprise when we got home and this guy was hanging out in my yard.
WHAT? There's a monkey hanging in my tree.
"Hey Mr. Monkey."
"I'm a gorilla."
"You smell like a monkey to me."
This crazy monkey...err... gorilla kept swinging from tree to tree.
He's a handsome guy with his bow tie and he is holding a rose and sometimes he just starts singing "Wild thing, you make my heart sing."
He started to sing and I started to dance.
"Hey singing gorilla ya want to join me on my patio for a cool drink? You must be way thirsty after hanging out in my trees all day."
"Hey MOM do we have any bananas?"
While MOM checked on the bananas another monkey joined us.
Then this one showed up. At least he brought his own banana.
Oh my goodness! Cheeto is here too. There is a whole lot of money business going on around my house. Beginning with, "Why is there a gorilla hanging in my tree?"
I was thinking. If this gorilla is going to stay at my house I better find a name for him. But what to call him? Hummmmm. Tell you what, leave me a comment as to what you think I should name this singing gorilla by Sunday evening 10 pm (mountain standard time) and I will put all the suggestions in a high tech name holding device and then we will pull one out and that will be the gorilla's name. AND whoever's name we pull out will get a fabulous prize!!
Blessings,
Goose
Hi Goose!
ReplyDeleteWesa think that gorilla looks like a Munch!
Much Luvums,
The Slimmer Puggums
George, Gracie, Toby, Lily, & Mimi
We think his name should be Uncle. (as in Monkey's Uncle) HahahaMeow! He looks like a fun fellow, Goose. Happy Friday to you and your monkey. XOXO
ReplyDeleteMy that sure is some monkey business going on in your crib Goose. We'd say Guy after Guy The Gorilla who was famous over here some years back. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
We like the name Red...after his cute little bow tie. Hope you like your new friend. Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteI think he should be called "swinger" - because he was very skilled at swinging from tree to tree!
ReplyDeleteTail Wuggles, Rubie xxx
I love it! Monkey Business! The one of Goose and the gorilla having a beer...
ReplyDeleteHow about Dion Fossey?
That is a whole lot of monkey business going on. We think he looks like a Bubba to us.
ReplyDeleteit has to be Trogg... and the last of the pics with the Monkey Party are just hilarious and gave me lots of chuckles...
ReplyDeleteHi Goose,
ReplyDeleteOh this is just wonderful, I laughed so much at seeing you find the monkey and with all of the monkeys joining you for a drink on the patio! Great photos! There sure is a whole lot of monkey business going on around your house today and I'm so glad that your Cheeto joined in the fun there too!!!
I think that you should call your new Gorilla friend "KONG" as in King Kong and the Dog treat toy brand "Kong" you should get as much fun out of him as you would from a treat ball or wubba! BOL!
Love, licks and Hugs from your Furiend Frank xxxxxx
Oh My Goose n its looking at you. I say name it "Gloria" It's Friday, and looks like you started your weekend already. Have a PAWsome day!
ReplyDeleteI think you ought to call the new guy Romeo, because he looks like he's looking for love to me! Thanks for a good giggle this morning!
ReplyDeleteBunny
hmmm... how about Koko, like the famous gorilla who mastered sign language? Or Albert - like the first monkey in space? I would like to see you singing and dancing after all those beers. Have a funny friday
ReplyDelete'Morning Goose,
ReplyDeleteThat's some adventure going on at your place. Imagine our surprise too seeing that gorilla in your tree. Good thing he was friendly and that you became instant furends. He really is handsome! (Of course, not as handsome as you.)
We love that he brought his furends over too so they could meet you and your Mom. Cheeto looks so excited to meet some of his own kind.
We love the name Magilla. You know from the ol'e TV show. He was such a loving and furendly gorilla. So that's the name we're going with.
We hope that you didn't drink too much of that nice cold beverage, bcuz we could only imagine all the monkey business that would have been going on.
Hugs,
Lily Belle & Muffin
Well heck we aren't very good at this...how about MONICA cos she does have a pretty red bow on..that was one swinging party!!
ReplyDeletestella rose
WE love that WILD THINGY Song...
ReplyDeleteThat was quite a surprise fur you to have come home to. You could call him GOODALL... because it is ALL GOOD.
Hari OM
ReplyDeletehhmmm dare I say Goose-ji that as monkeys have tails you're technically the only monkey present in that bunch of apes??!! Nudge nudge, wink wink. Cheeky aunty.
Now as to names, I agree with Houndstooth that this fella is after a bit of smooching - swinging through trees with roses makes him closer to that Italian roustabout, so I'd be calling him Casarilla.
(In the very unlikely event that name wins - could the pressie go to Puddles? Her mum is still recovering from HELLObone surgery)
Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
OMD! That was quite a pawty you had! I've heard there's no pawty like a monkey pawty. Were there any barrels involved? But what I'm DYING to know is...what did his butt smell like?
ReplyDeleteOkay, a name, a name. How about TARZAN!?
Wiggles & Wags,
Mayzie
We say you name him Fred. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteOMDs GOOSE YOUR HOME IS MONKEY HABITAT!!!
ReplyDeleteOH BOY DID THAT MONK-ME (MY HUMAN SIS CALLED MONKEY'S MONK-ME WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE)MAKE US LAUGH.
LET'S SEE NOW YOU HAVE A GORILLA WHO OF COURSE WILL BE IN CHARGE SINCE HE IS THE STRONGEST TREE DWELLER. AS FOR A NAME HOW ABOUT
GOLIATH THE GORILLA, OR GARY THE GORILLA OR GARTH THE GORILLA....

HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
My goodness, that's alot of Monkeys monkeying around! We have not come up for a name yet for our little english pug, so we are not much help here. How about George as in George of the Jungle, not new Prince George.
ReplyDeletehugs
Bailey, Hazel & Greta
Bet some buddy really enjoyed those belly rubs. OH how we love your friends, BOL. May we join you?
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Wow, what a pawty! That second gorilla that showed up? He usually lives at my house! We play all the time. He's so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's much question what Mr. Gorilla's name is. It's obviously Magilla.
My, my, you sure do get some interesting guests don't you? We think you should name him Phineas or else Floyd.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Goose!! We want to come visit your house and have a beer with you and yourfurry friends! Howcool is that? Monkeys in your trees! How about Bongo? We think that is a good name for him! Xo Chloe and LadyBug

ReplyDeleteI'll be right overs with the keg!!
Oh, I thinks the monkey's name, um sorry, Gorillas name should be:
CLYDE. After Any Which Way But Loose!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Great photos, great story - very funny, Mr. Goose. You have so many buddies! I vote for Jane, after Jane Goodall.
ReplyDeleteOMD, there is so much monkeying around going on at your pad Goose..bawahhwawwaa xx00xx Watch ya Strawbob's, I hear they love'z those xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
Well, I thought it was a monkey at first, too. Maybe he's a monkey in a gorilla suit!
ReplyDeleteGoose, that first pic of you sitting at the table with the mo-gorilla made my mom lose her diet Coke. Ha roowooroo!!!! You are SO handsome! I just can't believe you're there so calm and all with that monkeying around going on!
What would I name him? Hmm. Well... do you or your MOM remember the Warren Zevon song (my mom is old; we listen to old things) "Gorilla, You're a Desperado"? How about Desperado?
http://www.actionext.com/names_w/warren_zevon_lyrics/gorilla_youre_a_desperado.html
Zimmie helped me with that.
Did I mention how handsome you look with your monkey friends!?!?
Camo!
We think your should name it Wild thing with maybe WT as a shortened name since it was singing that song which we love by the way. You sure do look so handsome sitting there drinking your beers with all your good friends. What fun. Take care.
ReplyDeleteName him after my favorite gorilla; KoKo. But then you might have to get him a kitty.
ReplyDeleteWe vote "George" wha? No not after the new prince...George of the Jungle of course. :)
ReplyDeletethe brown dawgs
PS We see someone else suggested it, but we still think it is the perfect name.
OK Goose you have pawties with monkeys on your porch? No that is a pawty I want to come to! I say you name him Sass Parilla after that famous movie "The Adventures of Sass Parilla the Singing Gorilla http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497590/
ReplyDeleteLots of monkeying around. Our name is Sebastian!!
ReplyDeletewags
Jazzi and Addi
We think you should name him 'Da man :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, not sure if your mom would be interested but the Weim rescue we volunteer for is having a tshirt fundraiser. They are SUPER cute. :) http://www.louisvilleweimrescue.com/gift.html
I think he looks like a :George:
ReplyDeleteGeorge George of the jungle.
xo Cinnamon
I think you should call him Joker!
ReplyDeleteGoose-
ReplyDeleteI've heard of a Teddy Bear Tea Party...I like your spin on the old classic!
Wyatt
That looked like a great party. We are suggesting "Grape" for a the name! you know...Grape Ape!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going for Brutus!
ReplyDeleteI think Macco would be a good name. :)
ReplyDeleteWow Goose, you are having some crazy stuff going on over there. I wonder how he got there??? He is kind of a cutie. I did a little studying before I give you my name idea. Wild Thing was written by a guy name Chip Taylor. I am gonna suggest "Chip"
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
KoKo, and was that "Chasing Tail" you were drinking???
ReplyDeletehahahaha!! This cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteThat's HYSTERICAL! Oh, the names. You're always the best with the names. This one's going to take some serious brainstorming. What does sneaky snake think of him? Maybe he needs some double name too? Something like: Gassy Gorilla or General GOrilla and you just call him the General or Galactic Gorilla and you call him Gala? Oh, this is TOO FUN!
ReplyDeleteNice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
