My Monkey

Yes, this was my monkey, well, my Mom's monkey really, but I was the one that stole him from his mother and father. That was a scary thing. No, we don't have the monkey anymore, (we gave him to a local zoo) but we still have the poodle, Sarah Jane. She's over 14 years old and going blind and deaf now. In my lifetime, I have had more than five monkeys - squirrels, capuchins and rhesus. It all started with my grandfather.....then my mother, my sisters and finally me.....my favorite was Pepe, who was a squirrel monkey we bought from the back ads in a magazine when I was about six. He liked to wear Ken clothes - I'll try to dig up a picture.
