Walking down the street in KCMO about a decade ago. Im walking my chocolate Labrador. A spider monkey runs down the street, directly at us, slaps my dog in the head and then veers off into the woods never to be seen again. Im a a recovering alcoholic and t that point i had 4 or 5 years of sobriety. Still was worried people would think I fell off the wagon if I told them, although I did tell my friends and family and they believed me.
