Charon is right. As I said, adult supervision required. Amusing yes, but we don't let little monkeydogs play with little monkeytorts all by themselves. She wanted to play soooooo badly!

Wow Evelyn!  I didn't know you could squat like that!   No offense...but ...well...you know - you just don't look like you have a body that would do that!

Jackie says, "OMD! Cute pic of Monkeydog meets Monkeytort!"

Abby says, "Is it is a full moon tonight or is that Monkeydog Evelen's hind end? Sorry Evelen... couldn't resist a chance to zing a Monkeybutt... But you know we are sisters! Grrrrl Power! Kisses!"

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

run Roxy…. R U N!!! Evelynn will  want to chew on you then pee on you!surprised

Awesome teamwork DDawg family and Angel Riley family!

I often think that one of things I love about this website is the good and kind news I read. The world news is always filled with awful stories af people hurting animals that makes one lose faith in humanity. But when you look here, there are so many good and loving people going out of their way to care and show kindness to the creatures who hold our heart. It makes one find humility in humanity. Kudos to all of my tripawd friends!!! You make my heart smile

But enough of that serious business!

Bud's mom

ps….Dakota is stunning and handome as ever in his new avataar! Seriously…run or crawl a bit faster monkey tort!

Evelyn, I didn't know you were a contortionist (get it?) laughing  Aiden. that is so cool of you to adopt Roxy! How do you tell the difference between a girl tortoise and a boy tortiose anyway.....Oh, nevermind I probably don't want to know wink

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.

Lisa, you are right--you don't want to know. We're not 100% sure yet on this one but KaCee is pretty confident Roxy's a she. And Roxy won't care if we make a mistake!

Yes, we get the Evelyn contortionist joke. winker  She just puts the front end down and jacks up the back end when she tries to engage somethng in play. And boy did she want to play with Roxy! Poor Roxy just wanted to soak in the spa.

Thanks for welcoming the new monkeybutt, everyone. She did not zoom around and knock Dakota over yesterday. Maybe today.

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.

Isn't putting Roxy in a dish on the floor giving Evelyn the wrong idea?  Just saying...

Around here anything in a dish on the floor is vittles!

Monkeytorte!  That's looks so yummy!

 

Hey Pugalosers -

Evelyn is just having a conversation with the new monkeytort!  Can't you see it was a struggle for Evelyn to get down low to hear Roxy?  Geeze, she's not going to work that hard for food!
