Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.

There's something really wrong with that piano player. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know that dog is a troublemaker and a pain in the hiney.
Love, Dakota
From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.
Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/
Samson has tolerable days and not so good days. We decided not to continue accupuncture. He can walk outside on his own to do his business but we no longer go on walks, his back end just cant hold up. He is 13 and we will just keep him as comfortable as we can. I have been lifting him into the pool because he always loved to swim in our stream, he just cant walk the 1/2 mile to get to to it anymore.
Daisy is doing fine. We have finally resigned ourselves to the fact that she will not regain enough mobility to ever fully leave her cart but thats OK. We are installing a 3x10 kiddie pool so we can do aqua exercise with her (dads afraid she will poop in our big pool) I hope to build up the muscle she lost over the winter.
So all in all we are doing OK, enjoying ourselves one day at a time
Daisy earned her wings on Oct 22, 2011 at 14 years old
She is now the official greeter at the rainbow bridge
Everyone is guaranteed a welcome sniff and Dalmatian smile
Daisy and Samson, you are both so amazing. Your pawrents give you so much love and TLC, they are as wonderful as you are. With that kind of love going 'round the pack, life is beautiful. Enjoy every minute. xoxo

P.S. We have to update Monkeybaby's pic. He's MonkeyBIGGIE-baby now! Just look! His ginormous head is crushing my frisbee and I'm having a heart attack!
(yeah, that's mommy's orange house shoe in the picture – it's kinda been outside a while now – it used to be bright orange but after we tore up the mate, I guess she didn't bother to pick it up!)
bwhahahahahaha!!! Monkeybuttler you are getting what you deserve!! A fat neck monkeybrother!!! HOHOHOHOHO!!! And they say there is no justice. My plan is coming together.... ginormous Cosmo will grow and grow and defend the honor of the Tripawds right in the heart of Camp Monkeydog!!!
Also Samson007.... I am noticing that I am having some tolerable days and some not so tolerable... I also kind of like the couch potatoe way.... could there be some kind of uniting of the forces in the offing?? hmmmmmm.... Food for thought.
To the rest of you monkey dogs... I certainly dont wnat to play ball with any of you ( except maybe Evelyn..... ) and dont any of you think that this news of me having lung mets is a path to easy street for you... Fearless Leader Sooper Dooper Clown Cooper is still on patrol.

HEY!!!!! "All about Eve" - What's gotten into YOU!
Remember - Tripawds get all of the attention (just like Cooper's trying to do!), that's why we have a WAR!
UGH-A UGH-A UGH-A!
Okay, Mr. Pooper Stuper Clownhead, I may have to agree with you on TellaTubbie Baby being F-A-T, BBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT I'm not agreeing with you because you may be a little sick! I'm only agreeing with you because, well.....HE'S F-A-T!!!!! And he has a FATNECK and FATLEGS! Butt........................I'm still taller than him! (by at least a half inch)
Oh, I'm still on patrol too! ewwwwwww so scary - "patrol" like you wear a badge or something! Bwahahahhahahhahhahahaa!
Maybe I DO wear a badge Monkeybuttler.... thats for me to know and you to find out! And Monkeydogs can get a lot of atention too if they be good .... oh yeah thats a word more than your vocabulary has... hehehehe..
