BUDDIE

Buddie, a four-year-old weeper capuchin, is Jungle Friend's latest success story! She came to Jungle Friends in October 1999 because as a pet, she was attacking her owners and they did not know what to do with her. At her arrival, Buddie weighed 3 lbs.-every bone in her body could be seen it seemed! Even though she was extremely thin, she constantly ate. Within a few days she crashed and nearly died. The well-trained eye of our veterinarian diagnosed diabetes.

Basically, she was starving to death because her body was not able to properly break her food into usable nutrients and energy. We suspect she was so aggressive with her owners because she felt so ill. Now she is regulated on insulin and is one of the healthiest, happiest monkeys here! The day she felt well enough to laugh was truly a miracle! She is known as the "champion laugher" here at Jungle Friends, because she does so so often, always bringing smiles to our faces and brightening the day. Now she spends her day running, playing, and laughing with Connie (our other diabetic monkey), Gizmo, and Jimmy. During the cold winter months, Connie and Buddie sleep inside the "Diabetic Dorm" to ensure they stay warm. Not enough can be said about Buddie-- no words can describe her progress and her fun-loving personality. She is a miracle.
