Did she name her son too or just the monkey?
Great to see a monkey wearing a baseball cap.
Would this have been legal back then? What year did monkey-owning become taboo?
The (R) and (L) 😂
Thanks for pointing out which one is the monkey.
I remember around 20 years ago, there was a little monkey in the back at Foy’s Toys in Fairborn, OH (suburb of Dayton). Poor thing was in a cage and looked sad. I hope the owners took it out or brought it home during closed hours at least.
Was this one of those mail order monkeys?
My mom has told me stories of when they owned a spider monkey around this same era. The monkey peed in the toaster. My grandma sold the toaster in a garage sale.
