I had my teeth clipped, including my two fangs, which caused an infection on my upper jaw. I was traumatized & wouldntt let anyone touch me. I was mad, confused & depressed. I thought to myself ‘What now? Is being here worse than being a dancing monkey?’ Until the next day i realized i no longer had the chain around my neck, i ate regularly, drank water & even played in it. I have seen other monkeys as well .. they are all are just like me. As time goes by i started to trust again, i let my carers close to me. I even let them groom my hair. I groomed them back. Right now, i am about to finish quarantine & i’m ready to socialize & learn to be my true monkey self again.
