The new orphans seem very comfortable with humans. They aren't crying for their moms either which makes me believe they were kept as pets. I have never seen new orphans get into the feeding cage and use the bottles so quickly before. And, to see these babies with their foster moms is a beautiful thing to watch.

Dave. I love what you do, and tuning in each week. We like it when we see the babies for the first time as you pick them up as they are being turned over to you. We like taking the road trip with you, then watching you get custody in the parking lots, at the people's homes or wherever. Show us more of that. Also, though you thought a 1 hr episode was too long, a 30 min is not enough. Let's make a deal. Can you give us 45 min? I like the Cuteness Overload. Thanks, monkey guru.

Unfortunately, the longer the videos the worse the "commercials" seem to get. YT may consider a 45 min podcast about hair regrowth a commercial, but I disagree. Frustrating to have to let the video play while I go run errands because I don't have time to watch those "commercials", but I still want the foundation to get every bit of support possible.

Thirty years of hard work and the strain of constant repair and finding volunteers must be exhausting. Now Amazon has stopped their "Smile" program. While there are several long term hard workers, it would be nice to figure a fund raiser to send Dave somewhere for a week's R and R where he would be the one being cared for.
