November 8, 2024Nov 8 Back in 1969 my sister’s boyfriend gave her a spider monkey as a pet. I ended up taking care of it. It did not like to be handled. I’d let it on long leash by tree in back yard. Did not want to come out of that tree. Had to start wearing gloves every time I handled it. Parents finally made her return it after about a month.
