Hello guys, the first question flashed me back to a good time memory I had with a monkey me and my friend kept right from her tender age.
Actually, it was really fun taming her, although it was not mine but my friend's but I had this connection with her that made it looks as if it was mine also.
He found her in his area; at that time he and his family lived close to a valley, so one day him and his dad decided to go for a walk and on their way they found her, so he decided to take her home as she was lying hopelessly on the floor.
Although, before then I had wished I had one but after he told me about what he found I was very happy, because of her, I will go to his house almost everyday just to see her.
When ever I'm not around he gists me on how she is becoming more intelligent day by day, especially how she hids to his instructions.
There was a certain day she surprised us, we gave her food, after she finishes eating she rinses the plate and keeps it one side😁 and sometimes she could be very funny; we tried making her drink water from its sachet, when we have opened it and had given it to her she would turn it upside down trying to repeat what we did and all the water will just spill on her but our smart monkey would drink from it while it's still upside down 😂🤣
How I wished I had a phone at that time I would have taken several pictures with her.
One faithful day when I came by, I ran towards where we kept her but I didn't see any traces of her, I was surprised, not knowing the reason she wasn't there course my friend's dad already told us not to take her out yet course she was not yet that mature in order to keep her safe but not knowing we were actually wrong, the people around never stopped coming and the place they were at that time was not there very home; so they had neighbours living with them. At the time I saw him I asked him about her, then he was silent, I knew something was wrong then after a while he told me she was dead. I was very sad to hear this that she died of food poisoning, we couldn't do anything about it has it was already late before he knew, we just had to let go but we will never forget our best friend.
A pet monkey sounds like fun, although I think I'd not be able to keep one here as it might be against the law. Having said that if I could I'd train it to do the household chores for me, the dishes, mow the lawn and do the laundry...Of course it would also know how to bring me snacks as I was watching TV and the biggest trick I'd teach it would be to go to work for me at the office...I doubt the other workers would notice it wasn't me to be honest. :)
Just joking of course.
It's a shame this one died of food poisoning and I can imagine your friend was a bit upset. Pets become like treasured friends.
Thanks for sharing this and joining in this week.

I was thinking for a second,how would you train it to do all that. It may be possible if it was from a baby monkey though but you were joking anyways. 😅
All I had said really happened,😀 do you know that one of the reasons I love them is that they are almost like human in IQ and many more.
Oh.. Would love to train one then
😂😅🤣 I bet you will like it, I plan on getting another one in the nearest future.
My baby brother worked for a guy that just loved exotic animals. He and his brother owned a series of title companies (one of which my brother worked for) AND an exotic animal ranch/refuge in the center of Washington State. My brother worked at the headquarters office with the boss who had a couple of personal 'friends' that he kept around. Specifically a Wallaby that went to the office with him every day.
For what ever reason the goofy bugger loved my brother and spent most of his time under his desk. Harry would take off his shoes and use the Wallaby as a foot rest. Everybody was happy!
Once one has had a wallaby footrest one will never want to be without. Lol.
ENGAGEtokens.Had no idea people can keep monkeys as pets. At least in my country is illegal, but I'm sure it's hella fun and a nice experience!
For sure it's really fun, hmm, how I wished it was legal in your country.
I would love to want a monkey, maybe one that would grow to be my best friend and protect me if anyone tries rubbish as I can not fight. So sorry for losing that monkey. People can be so cruel to kill such an adorable animal.
Hmmm, my brother it's not their fault, sometimes is better keeping them away from people.
Totally right bro
Sad ending for a fun animal.
I love monkeys, but here in Venezuela people do not trust monkeys. They fear them because they are either too naughty, which they can be, or they are afraid of diseases caused by them.
Even though we have plenty of forest and a great variety of monkeys, they are rare as pets. It is actually illegal to trade them or own them in captivity.
I have memories of a monkey that was kept in a cage at a lady who lived on the way to school. Sipriana, was the lady's name. Every kid would give the monkey somethign to eat. He was always hungry. He could be fun most times, but he was also a lustful and shameless bastard, so often times you'd see concerned mothers scolding their small daughters to stay away from that indicent animal. And they declaired war at Sipriana to keep that monkey away from kids' eyes.
The moneky died of old age.
No kid that I know was corrupted by his lustful ways. TV, alcohol and drugs did more harm.
It is true because it will be that the monkeys have that lustful behavior 🤔
They are cute, but should not be held captive as pets, almost always have it chained, to have a pet like that. @hlezama
When I was a kid, a friend from school owned a monkey.
I remember going to his house to play with it. It was cool when he was a small but as he grew up it was too much of a problem to live with him at the house and they had to donate it. I felt sad but happy for the animal as he ended in a much better place to live.
Wow! Funny enough that's how we humans are, we are very adorable when we are tender but when we grow up we 🙄 I think you know what I mean 😀😅😂🤣
This post makes me think about my (wrong) assumptions about monkeys. I always thought that I would not like to be close to monkeys, I guess there is some unjustified fear in question. Thank you @rickardoh.
It's my pleasure @mipiano
Wow, so sad you had to loose her at that time. She must have been a nice friend to be with
Yeah! She was very playful but nevertheless it's all in the past now😉
That's right
That story was at first so uplifting and happy and at the end so sad. I actually understand the joy AND the heartbreak.
Yeah! Indeed it was really heart breaking but I will surely have another one 😄😉
It seems animal cruelty knows no boundaries. I am so glad I have never ran across it, I don't actually know of anyone losing their pet to violence or intentional poisoning.
Hmmm, 🤣😅😂, it's really fun having one.
Monkeys are fun. They can be very smart, and very clumsy too. Sorry this one ended so tragically.
Thanks, I really really appreciate your comment 😅 😂 🤗
Every time i go to the pet store i play with a little monkey just like the one in the picture, he is beautiful and he knows too much.
Btw, have you seen FRIENDS the comedy series?
Hmmm, I hardly watch series movies, is there a monkey in it ?
Yeahhh, hahaha in a part of the series, Marcel
I recomend you this series one, that is my favorite comedy series.
Wow! Then It's a must watch 😍 🤣😂
