Monkey Friend!

Random event worth documenting!

Let me preface this event by saying that our next door neighbor is a mechanic and he brings more business to his house than we'd like. (For this reason he is in the process of moving out and we are searching for new tenants.) Just over a week ago he was working on a big camper that was parked right in front of our house, we get a little irritated when this happens. Charlie and I were looking out our front window and we saw someone ( we weren't sure if it was a man or a woman at the time) come out of the camper with a diaper wearing monkey on his/her shoulder. We saw our other neighbors come out to see the monkey so Charlie and I decided it would be a great opportunity to get up close with a monkey. 

 He was eating a McDonalds french fry!

It turned out that the owner of the camper (a woman, it turns out) raises monkeys, (It was a certain species that I had never heard of) This particular monkey was named Sena and was 16 years old. She was soft and friendly. We were told that these monkeys and two year olds  were very similar and lo and behold Charlie and Sena had a lot in common besides being in diapers. 

 Charlie wasn't that interested in touching the monkey, he mostly wanted to play with whatever the monkey was playing with, it was pretty crazy, just like two little toddlers playing together.

Anyway, this is probably a once in a lifetime experience when you have a monkey come to visit you at your house, so that's document worthy right?
