Lots of monkeying around........Yes they can get along with all of the other family members. Our babies enjoy lots
of socialization in our home. With the right introductions most will get along with and even play with your other four-legged
family members. I must stress it takes the right introductions, and attitude to accomplish a safe and welcoming environment
for all. Below is our pet, Shrimp, with an infant on his back (we call him Uncle Shrimp) and Bob our Manx cat.
We have 5 cats and 6 dogs in our household besides the monkeys.

Here is our daughter ,Brandy,(above) with three monkeys, the infant (5 weeks), Shrimp and Carrie enjoying a plate of
mashed potatoes and chicken fingers. Although somethings we eat are not healthy for the monkeys, they really enjoy eating
dinner with their family on most occasions. The times spent with them stimulates positive family behaviors.
This
is our son(below) , Eli, and our baby TDM when he was 6 weeks old. Even at this age they show a great
desire to interact with members of the household.

The monkeys love to travel. (above) This is Shrimp asleep on the dash of the RV after a long weekend of bike riding and

Tamarin in his diaper. Shrimp and an infant (below) Shrimp loves to carry the babies around on his back. He teaches them how
to eat, jump and play all while protecting them from dangers and strangers. That's why we call him Uncle Shrimp!

Here I've shown lots of tranquil and happy moments with our monkeys. Please be aware that this did not happen
by accident. It takes a very concious effort to create this environment. There are serious dangers that can injure
or even kill your monkey. if you are interested in a marmoset or tamarin, please do your research and ask lots of questions.
There are many scams at work everyday that take money for a monkey and offer nothing but heartache in return. They will
take your money!. Never give a deposit with out a verifiable phone number and street address of the breeder/broker.
Lots of breeders ship babies but make sure that the option of picking him/her at their location is offered. We are available
to answer questions anytime by phone, text or email. Any reputable breeder or broker will have time to answer questions
and offer advice on the purchase and ownership of a monkey. Hope to hear from you soon. Kathy.
