“Stranded pet monkeys turn parking lot into zoo

Three monkeys and two dogs on a cross-country trip with their owner got stranded in a Taylorsville parking lot over the weekend.

The animals attracted a lot of attention. "It was crazy. It was like the zoo. People were stopping their cars in the Bed, Bath and Beyond parking lot," said Temma Martin, spokeswoman for the Salt Lake County Animal Services.

One monkey was a spider, the other two were macaques. The monkeys were diapered and tethered inside a van. One monkey entertained spectators by climbing out a window and eating ice on the van's exterior.

The animals were traveling with a woman from Washington DC to Kansas, where she said she was to visit a friend with 28 monkeys, and then to Texas, where the woman said she was going to give the spider monkey to a zoo, Martin said.

Her van ran out of gas Saturday. She had no money and parked the van at Bath, Bed and Beyond, 5670 S. Redwood Road, Martin said.

By Sunday morning, the store contacted Salt Lake County Animal Services because the monkeys were attracting a crowd. The woman had left her pets to get money wired to her, Martin said.

more...”

“Hay Lyra!
Just wanted to say hay.”

“Quit monkeying around”

“Need some gas money, lyra?”

“She must be not posting due to being on a cross country trip with unleashed monkeys.”

“LOL!! Kansas, huh? i must've been going to visit Dunadan.

and if it isn't miss Lyndy! :-)”

“28 monkeys in a sod house must make quite a mess. I can't even imagine getting them all into a tornado shelter.”

“28 monkeys in a tornado shelter would be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.”

“Casting call for the "Wizard of Oz"?”

“oohhh, i wanna be the wicked witch!!”

“But aren't you already?”

“But who will Glenda The Good Witch?

mapleleaf
Scorchie”

“i vote Violin.”

“Sooooo.....you like the movie about Kansas, eh?”

“Yet another example of stupid monkeys.”

“that's it, must hike...you're playing the beeyatch who gets smushed under a house.”

“Lyra, my Scorpio boyfriend took me on a motorcycle ride yesterday-we went to Hell. (A dinky little town near Ann Arbor.) Even stopped for some ice cream, though it did melt pretty fast. :))”

“hmmm, ice cream, motorcycles, and a Scorpio boyfriend...you're going to HELL alright! moo haa haa. sounds fun!”

“i'm pretty sure there were no automobiles in Hell, just bikes. it was my first time there, and it was truly amazing.

Blessing of the Bikes is in Hell in a few weeks. :)”

“What does any of that have to do with monkeys?”

“monkey wrenches???”

“I have something else to send you. Click on my name to get my email address and send me your mailing address.”

“ok! :-)”

“OMG its a trap lyra

“A trap or a tarp?”

“in her case BOTH”

“I've heard she has a thing for tarps.”

“and rats in traps

she is an odd bird”

“"she is an odd bird"

This, from someone who has three odd birds.”

“hey lyra.

“Our shipping department is getting your order ready for shipment.

”

“if anyone else wants to send me presents, and/or stalk me, just let me know!

“Why do you think I invited you to the WV thing, lyra? I'm tired of stalking you from afar...”

“hay, i was following the thread title.

“oh darnit! i think there's also a "hay" one...thought this was it. i mean, there are soooo many Lyra threads, because i am soooo cool, i get confused.

“Hay, lyra!”

“I tried to stalk you lyra, but then came the restraining order, make your mind up.”

“hey is for horses
grass is for cows
milk is for babies to shut there mouths”

“hay is for horses
grass is much cheaper
those loud little frogs
are called spring peepers.”

“Roses are red
Violets are blue
Carnations are all colors”

“Hay is for rolling
Grass is for smoking
If I could rhyme
I'd write more poems”

“Hay is for horses?
You must be joking
Let's roll in the hay
And do a bit of poking”

“Hay--lyra thread! Why wasn't I notified?

Hay (BTW)!”

“We gotta get this Lyra out in the woods with us to prove that she is for real.”

“is "the woods" some new bar in the DC area?”

“It's like getting her out of the closet Sacco.”

“HAY! :-)

you people are so witty. btw, i'm real, except for the butt implants.”

“I actually met her, I think, in a pub in D.C.

(she's a giggler)”
