Monkey!

They had other animals to get your picture taken with like parrots and snakes and such but I really only wanted me and the monkey. So much so that I ran out of the pool and straight at them when they announced pictures with a monkey. It explains why I look like I have no hair. It's all wet and slicked back from swimming.

Mom said she heard of the monkey biting someone and the handler's only reply was "Monkey no like you". Monkey was real good with me, though. Very trained. He sat on my hands waited for the flash of the camera and jumped back to the handler who put me it on my shoulder. Waited again for a flash and jumped back to the handler. Maybe I can trade on of the wieners in for a pet monkey...

unless the monkey has a habit of peeing on me

It took me a long time to train Oscar to pee on you! I can't let all those years of work go down the drain.
