Bathing Cindy The Baboon

Hi everyone,
Welcome to my first long form video 🎉
It shows the bath time of my Sister Cindy, the 29 year old rescue baboon 👵
She has a bath a few times a year to help keep her fresh and she always loves the experience and pampering 💅🏻
This is the first one she has had since she went blind in November 2023, so me and my Mother help guide her into the bathroom and get her in the tub.
Hope you enjoy!
Ruben 🇳🇦
*None of the animals featured on this channel are pets, they all live a natural life outside (no cages or captivity) where they feed on natural food around our farmstead just like it should be 👍

Ok wow. Watching an elderly, blind baboon trust in her human family to guide her and keep her safe I think is one of the most beautiful things I've seen.

[@LoftisforTreasurer]

It is amazing to watch Cindy and her family...I am glad I stumbled on this channel.

[@kiddalingur]

Pretty cool

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

Very moving. I’m getting teary-eyed . . . must be allergies. Yeah, that’s it. 😉❤️

I’ve been binge watching these vids. Some from my desk at work. I’d rather watch Cindy get a bath than do my reports.

[@Minetty]

Me too! Most beautiful thing ever

[@BlastinRope]

yeaahhhh about that, we’ve been seeing that you stopped submitting your required tps reports and are worried that something is wrong so uhhh, is everything going alright bud?

Ruben's family had Cindy for five years before Ruben was born he said in another video. So he has truly grown up with her as his sister. So sweet.

[@markhorrell9213]

The boys grew up with her as a Huge Part Of their lives...Cindy's out lived her contemporarys. His mum is there for bath time?!...now that...says sooo much about how much Cindy is loved

[@diddynienaber5739]

She probably has arthritis and it's painful to move. Thank you for loving her so patiently.

[@HYPNOTOAD291]

That's what it looks like to me. I move like Cindy when I get up in the morning.😄

[@kells1784]

She is 29, so it's to be expected. Extremely old for a baboon.

[@davidrahrer]

Oh yeah, I recognize a fellow sufferer as well

[@jessamine3155]

I work in the animal rescue and welfare industry in the US. It brings me such joy to see people around the world treating their animal family members with such love and respect. Your bond with your sister, Cindy, makes my heart happy 💖

[@ginginthing]

She's in the best hands in the world for someone to take care of her in her final days. You are very fortunate and very specially chosen people to be care keepers for these incredible creations. And they in turn are very fortunate to have you taking care of them. You have created a little piece of Heaven on Earth.

[@RowdyProwdy]

Him saying “come sister” is so sweet. When she passes, it will be the worst for this family 😢

[@RowdyProwdy]

Bless their mama! 30 years she’s helped raise this girl. ❤

[@Bushkaboo]

The bond between Mum and Cindy must be very strong. Cindy is definitely part of the family. It's lovely.

[@oliviagarrett3925]

Who would’ve thought an old baboon could be so frickin cute

[@julieclayton-west624]

I’ve only “known” Cindy for half an hour on YT and I’m in love with her. The humans and animals on this show are such a joy to watch.

[@johnmeszaros3827]

She moves like she’s arthritic. You’ve been so fortunate to have her in your family. She’s not long for this earth so every moment is precious.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Sure does, she moves just like me on a bad day/period… 😂

He does treat her like an older sister - with so much love and respect !

[@catvonderahe1836]

Poor baby. So glad she is being cared for. Better than many aging humans.

[@rubydouglas9326]

Love how Cindy puts her hand on Ruben’s leg at the end of the video. I’m sure the warm water made her feel better.❤

[@morninggloryfarmstead]

Both of my thoughts exactly! So touching.....and I know the warm water felt good to her old bones! ❤

[@11AriseAndShine11]

You treat this little old lady much better and with so much respect and love, than many people treat our elderly of our own kind! ❤ People could learn from you!!! 👍

[@boycottpalmoil]

It’s a first for me watching a baboon having a bubble bath. She is beyond adorable.

If she had lived in the wild with her physical impediments, she would have been dead a long time ago - these people are precious!

[@dfabba9938]

The gentle way you treat her is amazing.... respect to you Ruben

[@ecceben]

The fact that dear Cindy always wants to be in contact with Ruben is so precious, especially her reaching for his touch at the end. What an amazing career amid glorious nature and wonderful animals, though still, at the end, Cindy shows she's still the matriarch elder in charge!, haha.

[@Rubennamibia]

Thank you so much, I know I am very lucky and yes, Cindy is still in charge hahaha

[@Lifewithpersians]

Cindy grabbing for you and holding your hand is heart melting

[@claudiaalbat9712]

Your mom is looks so young. She must be so proud of you....😊

[@carlychichester5271]

Oh, that ALL animals would receive such love, care and respect, especially at the end of their lives!❤️

[@ericcope8216]

Sorry to hear that your family is dealing with Cindy's decline. It looks like your family gave her a wonderful life. Both you and Cindy are lucky to have one another. I hope she passes peacefully. What an awesome experience for all of you.

[@mhtrainers]

I love the way she tells you no and you listen straight away. 😅

[@VeLovecole]

😂 mhtrain 😂 omg your comment is funny the most 😂

[@davemapp1571]

Both heartwarming & heartbreaking. She is old but very well cared for & much loved.

[@ana-ei1kz]

Poor Cindy. At her age, and with her limited activities, she probably has painful joints. This is probably why it takes her so long to get to where she is going. She clearly likes a warm bath. Probably feels good on her stiff joints. She is a very lucky lady indeed. Kudos to your mom Ruben. It is obvious that she loves Cindy too.

[@glenbe4026]

In another video, he explained that his mum rescued Cindy when she was only a few days old and raised her. Cindy treated her as her mother, and 5 years later when Ruben and his brother were born, she treated them as her younger siblings.

[@csnyder820]

I'm 53.. I feel you, Cindy! You are wonderful with her, and she deserves that so much. Bless you and your giant heart!

Your family's relationship with Cindy is beautiful. She's your sister, your mother's daughter... You treat her like a beloved family member, not a pet. (I love how she reached for your hand. Such a sweet girl...)

[@TheTaindio]

You are a gentle soul. You exude love to your 4-legged family. We should all learn to be as compassionate as you are.

[@Vejur9000]

Ruben? You are amazingly handsome. It’s heartbreaking that she’s a blind grandmother. Thanks for all you do for these beautiful creatures.

The energy it takes to run a farm/ ranch is outrageous, yet you still have time to give LOVE and attention to Cindy and all the other animals of the range. These beautiful animals give us such joy and enrichment to our lives--May God continue to bless you and Your House.
