Since I don't have blog, I thought I'd share a couple. Feel free to post your own!

Oops! Monkeybutt/bunny accidently posted the photos! It should have been posted by Cometdog!
And to the new members who probably get so confused with all the alter egos - Comet is the tripawd. Rocket aka monkeybutt/bunny is her annoying and pesty little terrier mix brother - he's got all 4 legs.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Looks like you had a really nice Christmas! It's great to put a face to the name (and to the quilt!) Granny Kay, you're the best! When I thought we were going on a road trip, I picked up a couple toys (one for Comet and one for Rocket) I need to figure out how to get them to you because if monkeybutt Athena gets a hold of them....well, you saw what she did to the couch!
Have a Happy New Year too!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Wow Rocket! Looks like you had a pawesome Christmas. I thought I posted my Christmas photo already in this topic, but I don't see it...maybe I put it in the wrong place. I also posted a video in the Merry Monkeybutt topic, but it is not there....Harrumph...Anyway, here is my Christmas photo just for you.
Do you see that dreamy look I have in my eyes? That's 'cause I was thinkin' 'boutcha.

Awwww. Now my feelings are hurt. I've been trying to keep my monkeybutt warm in these frigid Las Vegas temperatures. Brrrrr. And I get cold while waiting on Monkeymean man's slow site!
I love you so much monkeyfacesweetie! I love your picture. You are my monkeydollface! My eyes are dreamy for you too!
Your monkeylove,
Monkeybutt-monkeybunny!

YAY! There you are honeybunnymonkeycutie! Phew. So it is cold where you are? You should come up here with me. My mom and pop have had a good fire going in the stove for a few weeks now and it is toasty....except they still make me go outside to, well you know. Not fair. I know they go in the house. Harrrumph!

Here's one of Trouble during the opening of the Secret Santa gifts from the PBT forum.

She was actually more interested in the box than the gifts -
