Maryland animal control officers seize woman's 'baby,' saying it is illegal
For Elyse Gazewitz, Armani was like any other baby, right down to his daily bottle, red stroller, Huggies diapers — except for a hole cut out for his tail — and Desitin for the occasional diaper rash.

"He loved me," says Elyse Gazewitz of her monkey, Armani. He often played in this $4,000 addition she built onto her home in Rockville.
"He just couldn't stand being away from me," Gazewitz, 42, said yesterday, breaking into tears. "He loved me."

Since Armani was seized, Gazewitz said, she has not been allowed to see him, and she has had trouble eating. She worries about the toll the separation will take on her monkey. He had grown so comfortable in her home, she said, even helping himself to the TV remote control.
"He watched everything I did," she said. "Monkeys learn from their mothers."
