I watched this while my 20 year old cat is sleeping in my arms. He also sleeps a lot now and I am so grateful for every moment. You are wise beyond your years.
aw and yes enjoy every minute, i completely believe and KNOW theres is NOTHING like the love of an animal you have raised, nothing, they really are priceless so I wish you the happiest days to come with your baby cat they are always your babies no matter how old, and God bless you both, its very emotional when they get old its the only thing is theyre life is so short, must enjoy every moment and LOVE them day and night and spoil them day and night, they deserve it right? God bless 💘
No one cares about your lame cat. Why would you even try to compare your boring generic cat ownership to this weird guy and his pet chimp???? Unbelievable
@@marciloni12 me too, I thought they were ugliest out of all monkeys, but now after watching them, I see how intelligent and beautiful they are. I love them.
@@marciloni12check out Geladas. Gorgeous baboon species with their long fur, heart chest, etc. Of course when they bear their canines, they can get a bit scary. Baboon species are amazing and Cindy is no exception.
Can you imagine being a lost little baby baboon, and being brought into a family that will love you forever no matter what. Baboons live hard lives in the wild, and Cindy was blessed with a family who has given her a beautiful life. 29 is an excellent age, I think she’s keeping strong and healthy because she’s a secret tea drinking Brit. I’m so glad she’s still around, that you’ve had this wonderful unique relationship with her, that you got to make memories together. Baboons get a bad rep, but Cindy is a baby. Thank you for sharing your story, and I wish you all only the best in life. Also your mum, is an angel.
Thank you for sharing her life with us! My heart broke a little when you were thinking about her not being there with you! She is so precious and is your life! Don't worry about being emotional as Cindy knows how much you love her! ❤
@@Rubennamibia Just wondering if you have a mailing address or either a PO Box set up yet for those of us who really would like to send you some gifts for Cindy, because we would love to send her some really nice treats to enjoy, as well as also some for all of the other beautiful animals that you have running around over there on your beautiful farm & then MAYBE you could even set it up to actually record you helping Cindy open all of her gifts & actually watch any & all of the action, excitement &/OR caos and then of course we also want to watch her as she (hopefully) actually enjoys all of her special lil' treats & goodies! God Bless you & your beautiful family, from our family here in Florida, USA 🇺🇸 ~♥︎~
We can all feel for you man. Loss is so very hard, but none of us would deny the loving of another cherished like Cindy, as you do and your family does. Hugs to all.
It's ok to get emotional, because Cindy is part of your life story too. You and your family have given her a life that some can only dream of. Bless you for taking such good care of her.
What a polite, smart, handsome and charismatic young man. You can tell a lot about a man by the way they treat animals, and it's evident that he has a lot of compassion. The Afrikaners are such lovely, warm people. Truly the salt of the earth type of people. I have watched every video and every short on this channel by now and it fills me with pride and hope seeing such kind and caring young men.
I really appreciate your comment. I am a South African who has been living in the UK for the last 15 years, as my husband is British. It has been great with lovely people. However, I miss the sincerity, warmth, down to earth attitude, genuine caring and love and respect for each other, nature and annimals of people in SA.
The fact she sits with you this entire video and doesn't walk away or make any fuss shows how much she is apart of your troop. Very cool channel! You got a new sub!
I'm so grateful that people like Ruben and his family are among us. Many animals who are helpless are safe because of them. May their lives be filled with light, love, and peace.
For all those that said that the internet would be a bad thing- here we all are to prove them wrong. People from all over the world brought together, emotional and teary-eyed at seeing the beautiful life that this lovely baboon has lived. If only more people were like this family- selflessly adopting baby Cindy and becoming her troop. This family and the people here that adore this baboon from afar…you give me- the most cynical of cynics, a small glimmer of hope for humanity.
Your mother deserves special credit for taking on and nurturing Cindy. I have been told by people who lived in SA that an adult baboon is a formidable animal that can easily defeat a large dog.
Cindy has lived such a long and happy life because of the love and care you have given her. If the world was full of people like you and your family, it would be a happier place.
You know you are good at conveying your feelings when u are able to make a 50 yr old man who lives in a different country (& who hasn’t watched any of your other videos) cry from your touching words and emotionally rich delivery. You are a special young man with an incredibly unique bond to an animal who is also a true family member!
You and your family are a true testament of how humans should learn to live with and respect animals in the wild. She is your sister and the fact that you call her that it's another example of the legacy you are leaving. It's because of people like you and your family this world is still our home. Thank you.
29 years probably one of the oldest living baboons in the world u brought tears to my eyes when u got emotional she really is like a sister I wish I could give her another 29 years to live love u Cindy ♥️✌🏼☺️
Huge respect young man for sharing Cindy's life story. You will grow to be a father of note with an unmatchable gentle and loving heart. Your Mom and Dad are beautiful people for letting Cindy share in your lives. ❤
This made me emotional too, how beautiful that Cindy has been a loved and cherished member of this family since she was a tiny baby, and has known this young man all his life. That's very special - she is indeed his big sister. If animals don't go to Heaven, I have no interest in going there! What a miserable, unthinkable world it would be without precious souls like Cindy. Oh and yes @damien2339 - animals do have souls, but the jury is out on some humans!
This guy checks all the boxes. he's sweet, caring of others and animals, hot, and has good family values. Is he single? I love the way he loves his Cindy.
When the day comes and Cindy's no longer with you, keep in your heart what a fantastic life you gave her. That she lived to such a great age, was loved so much by you all, and gave great love to all around her in return. She's irreplaceable and it'll hurt so hard when she goes, but only ever carry around in your heart all the fantastic and positive emotions that Cindy brought to you, your family, friends and all the other animals she lived amongst. She wouldn't want it any other way. We all die, it's inevitable, but celebrate her life. She lives on through wonderful memories. Marvellous video, very touching.
My gosh I LOVE her….this is why YT is so great….living half a world away, but getting to learn all about Rubens sister, Cindy….it’s beyond awesome…the work and sacrifice is mind boggling. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
You both are so lucky to have each other. She was so blessed after loosing her mom when she found yours. You and your family are beautiful stewards of all these animals many years more!❤🙏 for you all and Cindy😊
That’s family right there. It’s written all over your face how much you love her, and I’m sure she feels the same way. I hope you guys have plenty more time together! ❤️
I’m sitting here in Scotland in total wonder. You are really amazing for being such a warm and loving big brother to Cindy and for sharing her life (and yours) with us. ❤🙏🏽
Yes she is really your older sister, so enjoy the precious time you have with her. Thanks for her beautiful story. I love all of your animals you are great with them. You are verry rich that you grow up with al those animals.❤❤
Almost everything one sees about baboons makes them out to be dangerous and scary. I'm glad Cindy can be an ambassador of her kind and show us a different side. She's a lovely sister.
They’re truly a reflection of who they’re around, I believe. We don’t try hard enough to live in peace. As humans we encroach on animals space and food and then accuse them of stealing and being chaotic. We should stop responding to them with violence. Watch the animal whisperer? There’s a wonderful woman on that show who communicates with baboons. The tribe immediately read her energy and accepted her. ❤
@@jaygatsby5013 more accurate would be to say “tamed.” Domestication usually includes genetic modification over thousands of years to be useful to humans. Or vice versa.
We always say our childhood dog stole a packet of 2lbs of chocolate hershey kisses - we were crying she was going to die ...she lived 19 years... we said it was the hershey kisses ha! I think its so beautiful that you and your brother have grown up side by side with her and the other animals. I love how motherly she is with the other animals. I've always loved baboons eyes - you can see the emotion in them. Love to you Cindy and your farm family!

Ruben you really are one in a million, so loving, caring and that you get emotional about Cindy is beautiful. It show's how much all the animals around you mean something to you! You can definitely tell you have had a great upbringing from your parents, your all an amazing family. What a special experience you've had living with all these extraordinary animals. You have a heart of gold and your english is fantastic and I love listening to you. More videos please!!! 👍🌞🇬🇧💛🌅🐒
That made me cry. My father was a zoo veterinarian when I was a child. I love animals so much and learned to recognize their various voices and postures. Thank you for sharing Cindy’s story.
Just remember you have given Cindy the best life ever. She would not have survived or had any life but for you and your family. For any beloved animal this is what you ask yourself when they're gone "did I do the best for him/her?" and you have.
The luckiest happiest baboon ever! Thanks for sharing your experiences, I am learning to appreciate more and more the little furries we share our lives with
I think the best thing in the world is to watch a baboon lip smacking! The short clips of her doing that made me smile! Thank you for that smile because my wife is dying of MDS, epilepsy and Parkinson’s and I am in high pain 24/7 despite having a pain pump delivering morphine all of the time. So smiles and laughs are so very special to me! All my best to you, and please groom Cindy a bit, from me. Thank you!🥲
I'm so sorry to hear that and I'm glad that this video brought you some joy. Lots of lip smacking in the next video on Friday too! Sending you and your wife best wishes
@@Rubennamibia Thank you so much! We are “Kindred Spirits”. You have a short time left with Cindy and I have a short time left with my Barbara. Barbara doesn’t lip smack however😊 All the best to you and Cindy.
Vocês tem sorte e um grande coração. Quem poderia no mundo viver essa experiência com tanto carinho e amor ? Emocionante ouvir sua narrativa. Dê um beijo em Cindy por mim.
She's a real sweetie pie. Thank you for sharing. It's always heartbreaking when we lose one of our fur babies. They leave us with wonderful memories and moments we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.
Stumbled upon this story by accident and was really happy I did . An amazing and heartwarming life with an animal that is not normally adopted by humans. To me , you guys have another parent, amazing story and thank you for sharing this wonderful life you have. Regards from Scotland 🏴 😊.
You deserve to be part of National Geographic channel, I sure hope they could dedicate a program about Cindy's story, well done to you and your mother a great example how we are supposed to take care of animals
Thank you for sharing Cindy. She is so special! She knows she is loved. What a treasure she is to everyone who knows of her. What a blessing for you to have Cindy in your life. ❤
Being emotional is good & never feel ashamed by it ! Cindy has been extremely fortunate to have you guys in her life ! Human animals & other species can interact well & this just shows this !
You guys are Legend, noble heart full of love, devotion, compassion, kindness and the lust goes on. I been watching your videos, its amazing. Love you guys. Please give my warm hugs on my behalf. Thank you Ruben. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for taking us on Cindys ride through this world. Tears coming up when you said she might be the oldest of her race...she is such a wonderful, cute, great soul, hope so much she will stay with you and us for a couple more years!!! Please pass a special cuddle and hug from Vienna!! ❤️🤗😘
Your Mother and Father must be such a giving and selfless couple to have taken her at her young age and then keeping her when you and your brother joined the Family. What a pleasure for us who are lucky to know & watch your channel full of good love and care for these beautiful beings that you share with us all. So greatful you shared Sweet Cindy’s story and may she live longer than any expectation to share her beauty and strength with the World. Much Love from New Orleans❤
Seeing you with Cindy makes us all realize that however bad life gets there is always love and people like you and your family. Sending all the love in the world to you and Cindy. Bless your heart ❤️
Just the best video ever. I could sit and listen for hours and hours. Please give Cindy lots of cuddles from all of us. She is one very rare and lucky soul ❤❤❤❤❤
My tears are flowing. I feel exactly the same about my old dog, i think about him leaving this world and it breaks my heart. Yes, every day counts and remember that Cindy has had such a great life with you, she is one lucky lady
What a loving family 🙏🏻❤️ twins! Love how Cindy respected the fact that you & your brother belonged to your mom. ❤️ You all gave Cindy a wonderful lifetime filled with love & she is your lifelong sweet friend. 🙏🏻❤️ Love, Joy 😊
I can’t stand to see Ruben get choked up a bit. I’m glad he decided to share Cindy and their love with the world and that he is cherishing every moment with his sister.
The loss of a loved pet is brutal. I wish you all the best. I believe we all get to meet up again in heaven. Kind of an endless circle of life. God got it all just right... Nice!
Having and taking care of animals make us better human beings. They teach this to us because of their loyalty, love and honesty. The World is better because of the beautiful animals everywhere.
Ruben is a beautiful soul. It's nice to see how you love those lovely creatures God has made. May the Lord God continue to bless the special work you and your family do.
This dude is a living testament of kindness; must have been raised by great parents. Admirable!❤

It's people like Ruben that restore your faith in humanity. You a gentlemen young man!
I cried when you said you were getting emotional. I know and I feel that you love her so so much ❤
I can't believe there is finally someone who is loving and caring😃so very very happy you just made my evening. Thank-you!
The luckiest happiest baboon ever! Thanks for sharing your experiences, I am learning to appreciate more and more the little furries we share our lives with
Her fur looks so soft.She's a lovely old lady. It must be such a privilege to have been raised with her and her perspective on life.
Thanks so much for sharing Cindy with the world.
Life is good ❤
I think the best thing in the world is to watch a baboon lip smacking! The short clips of her doing that made me smile! Thank you for that smile because my wife is dying of MDS, epilepsy and Parkinson’s and I am in high pain 24/7 despite having a pain pump delivering morphine all of the time. So smiles and laughs are so very special to me! All my best to you, and please groom Cindy a bit, from me. Thank you!🥲
I'm so sorry to hear that and I'm glad that this video brought you some joy. Lots of lip smacking in the next video on Friday too! Sending you and your wife best wishes
@@Rubennamibia Thank you so much! We are “Kindred Spirits”. You have a short time left with Cindy and I have a short time left with my Barbara. Barbara doesn’t lip smack however😊 All the best to you and Cindy.
Vocês tem sorte e um grande coração. Quem poderia no mundo viver essa experiência com tanto carinho e amor ? Emocionante ouvir sua narrativa. Dê um beijo em Cindy por mim.
Thank you for sharing Cindy’s story with us. You’re beautiful, Cindy ❤
She's a real sweetie pie. Thank you for sharing. It's always heartbreaking when we lose one of our fur babies. They leave us with wonderful memories and moments we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.
Stumbled upon this story by accident and was really happy I did . An amazing and heartwarming life with an animal that is not normally adopted by humans. To me , you guys have another parent, amazing story and thank you for sharing this wonderful life you have. Regards from Scotland 🏴 😊.
Why am I crying about a random African man’s baboon? Great video. Wonderful man it seems.

You could not do anymore, but reflect on the wonderful life you have given her. Respect my friend.
I wonder, does your mom still see her often? The care you give her is evidence of the love & trust she shows toward you. ❤❤❤
Ok now I understand why you have such a deep affection for her. What a blessed life you have lived.
Cindy is loved and she knows this. And she loves you back. Hold onto this! Everyday with her is a blessing for all of you.
❤❤❤im tearing up here...she loves you soo much so she will be with you for as long as she can. Much love.
Your Mother and Father must be such a giving and selfless couple to have taken her at her young age and then keeping her when you and your brother joined the Family. What a pleasure for us who are lucky to know & watch your channel full of good love and care for these beautiful beings that you share with us all. So greatful you shared Sweet Cindy’s story and may she live longer than any expectation to share her beauty and strength with the World. Much Love from New Orleans❤

Hope Cindy lives a few more years, she is a sweetheart!
Cindy loves that you are petting her head. It's putting her to sleep. She is such a sweet heart ❤️.
The end made me cry so much. it hurts so much when a loved one passes. My heart goes out to you and your family.
I can’t stand to see Ruben get choked up a bit. I’m glad he decided to share Cindy and their love with the world and that he is cherishing every moment with his sister.
The loss of a loved pet is brutal. I wish you all the best. I believe we all get to meet up again in heaven. Kind of an endless circle of life. God got it all just right... Nice!
❤😊Merci pour ce merveilleux moment.
Cindy...we love u😊
Having and taking care of animals make us better human beings.
They teach this to us because of their loyalty, love and honesty.
The World is better because of the beautiful animals everywhere.
Ruben is a beautiful soul. It's nice to see how you love those lovely creatures God has made. May the Lord God continue to bless the special work you and your family do.
Her long, healthy life is a testament to this family’s love and care for this delightful “old lady.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing storie about your family and Cindy. Very heartwarming. Cindy is indeed lovely.
