Hi everyone, I’m Mindy! I am a Capuchin monkey and I have a very special job as an animal ambassador. Here on my blog I will be telling you stories about what it is like to live, work and play with all kinds of different animals.
I’m so lucky that I get to travel all over the United States with my dad, Bill Hoffman of Animal Rentals, entertaining people and teaching them about wild, domestic and exotic animals. I have a lot of animal friends that travel with me and help me with our animal shows, and we always have a great time meeting new people and seeing how happy and excited they are to meet us.
Even though I am only six years old, I have already worked at many different events and met hundreds of wonderful people. I’ve been on television, worked at parties, fairs and festivals, performed on stage and at college shows, gotten all dressed up for corporate events and trade shows, and even danced as an organ grinder monkey. My dad is really funny and he makes people laugh a lot while he is teaching them about us and what it is like to live and work with exotic animals. I think my favorite part of being an animal ambassador is seeing the joy on people’s faces when they get to touch a monkey or a chinchilla or a snake for the very first time. It sure is a great job, and I can’t wait to tell you more about it!
I’m so glad that you found my blog and I hope you come back often to read about all the great adventures that my dad, my friends and I have working and playing together. And be sure to like my Facebook page, so that I can get to know you too!
