Free animals to a somewhat good, though not necessarily stable home

I am taking this from Gawker which took it off craigslist which has since deleted this post. Probably the most amusing ad I've seen in a while (not involving weird encounters in the Food Emporium frozen food section). This would make a good short story.
I have four free dogs. Two of them are large sized, about up to my waist. One is brown and the other sort of milky grey, with a large black patch of hair on his belly. The "black hair patch" dog has a limp, as it was stepped on by a truck driver doing a delivery one day. But he's very kind. The other two dogs are about the size of a bowling ball, but not round like that. One is more round and the other pretty skinny. I don't know the breeds, but they have scratchy hair. You may have seen me with them because I walk them all together usually from Lexington to Central Park and I like to go down 80th street. I also have a monkey but he looks sort of sick. I think you'd need a vet for him. I got him in New Jersey about three years ago. All of these are free and I have individual bowls for the dog and a leash for the monkey. I have to get rid of them because I need an operation in a week that's pretty serious and I don't have anywhere for them to stay. They all get along great except for the monkey and the larger small dog. But I'd hate to split them up. Serious inquiries only. I would rather that they didn't go to the Bronx or Staten Island. Nothing personal.
I'm off to Miami later today. I'm meeting Alejandro at LaGuardia (it's been 2 years!) and then we're off. I anticipate many fun stories out of this. Maybe not as funny as this ad, but who can beat four dogs and a sick monkey.
