Meet Dusty. He's the foreman on Sock Monkey Ranch.
Dusty sports half a grin and a twinkle in his eye most of the time. He's an easy-goin' monkey, but don't be fooled. He can be plenty tough when the need arises.
Without Dusty to keep things in line, the ranch could quickly become chaos. Sock monkeys have the well-earned reputation or being ornery most of the time, so it's up to Dusty to make sure everyone does their work, and upholds the Sock Monkey Ranch rules.
Dusty get's along with most everybody except Lucky, the rodeo cowboy who wandered onto the ranch a few months back. Miss Millie took him in like she always does.
Dusty knew right off he and Lucky were going to but heads. Maybe it was that arrogant swagger, maybe it was flip attitude, or maybe it was just that Dusty didn't like the way Lucky looked at Miss Millie.
You see, Dusty's been sweet on Miss Millie for some time now. Problem is he's got a shy streak runnin' all the way from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. Manys a time he'd like to have told Miss Millie how he felt, but just couldn't make the words come out.
Someday...
