Armani the capuchin monkey plays December 17, 2007 in the $4,000 playroom that his owner, Elyse Gazewitz, had specially built for him in her Rockville, Maryland home. Armani was held in a zoo for seven months during a custody battle, which last week saw a judge order him returned to Gazewitz in a case that had strong parallels to nightmarish child custody cases.

This is a really cute monkey, but I guess I have to wonder about the $4000 playroom and the legal fees that were undoubtedly spent on this custody battle. Do Americans go overboard providing for their pets?
