Monkey Business

Living in Africa, one of the common questions we get is, “do you have a pet monkey?”  Now we can answer yes.  We’ve heard lots of horror stories from others who had pet monkeys and we thought it might be a big mistake.  But when some friends of ours offered us a monkey, we went against our better judgment and decided to adopt it. We’ve had him for several days and we are very happy.  Jack is very well behaved and we’re all getting along perfectly.  He seems to be happy living with us too.  We arrived home a couple of days ago and Jack’s leash had come untied, but he didn’t run away.  He was sitting and waiting for us.  Jack is especially fond of Julie and enjoys grooming her when she is sitting outside.  It’s cool having a pet with opposable thumbs.  We can probably expect a lot more monkey videos from Cole.
