Are You Ready For This?

For all you newbies- Monkeybutts are the (sometimes) neglected siblings of Tripawds. Although Ms Perdy arrived after tripawd Daisy passed she actually got to meet one and thought the humans were making was to much fuss over a three legged dog and declared herself a Monkeybutt.

Hope everyone is having a good summer.

 

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.

Coming soon, Elmo arrives in the PNW, only to be viciously attacked and mauled by a couple of huge hairy beasts...  After his spa adventure at MBBunny Rita's house, he seemed very well-rested, but will he survive a visit with Tosca and Zephyr???

Stay tuned for more!

Very good!!  I was just "talking" to Harley this morning trying to figure out where exactly he fits on this site.  He is sort of a Moneybutt/Wanna-Be Tripawd.  He was scheduled for an amputation end of May (that's how I came to the site) but was "denied" the morning of surgery because the stupid xray showed tumors on his lungs.  Any idea if there is a club or organization for him??  He definitely is suffering from rejection/low self esteem. 

Seriously I needed a good smile right now because he is just finishing his first two weeks of metronomics (chlorambucil) and Monday he has bloodwork to see what his counts are like and that will determine if he can continue.  He is battling the lung cancer and still has his big tumor leg. 

Harley is an 8 year old Golden Retriever. Amp surgery for an infiltrative lipoma canceled due to two masses in chest. A rescue, he found his forever home on 3/18/07 and left for his eternal home on 1/09/13. His story and medical history are at http://myharley.....pawds.com/

Oh man, Miss Perdy - you look like tons of fun. I wanna pawty with you!

I never met no tripawd, but there is some kinda shrine to one here. whatever

I have a cape, I have shades, I got ears! I'm ready for Monkeyfun in the summertime!! And can't wait to hear about what Elmo and Boy George are up to.

As for you, Harley, we need you on our side! I think we are outnumbered here, and beside, we are way more fun than silly ol' tripawds. Get yourself a cape and some ears and join the fun!!

Porthos - I'm glad you are keeping these monkeybutts in line! You and Zeus need to put them in their places!

Monkeybutts will do anything to get attention. They are very jealous of us Tripawds and our specialness. Really, you kinda have to feel sorry for them...

I'm glad you are carrying the torch for the Tripawds and slaying Monkeybutts!

Angel Abby

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!

I don't know about you other MonkeyButts, but when Barney was here I never even got to sniff that over-rated stank animal.  I know I coulda, and woulda torn him a new one if mom would of let me at him.  Some sort of "reverence" thing about that box and Barney.  

 

Ms. Perdy...your video rocks....I was dancing and singing to it.   I even did the Dougie to it.  I will take some video and put it on here to show you all how real MonkeyButts can dance. 

 

Over and Out....MB Beans, and Sophie too!

Beans:  Dude, when Barney was at my house I barely gotta sniff him.  My momma kept saying "leave Rio alone. Let her have Barney.  Blah, blah, blah, Rio.... Blah."  And so now......  This Elmo dude is ALLLL MIIIINE! Okay, I will share the monkey with Tosca, but that's it!!!!  That's all I'm doing.  And we are gonna shred these boys!!!!!  We got teeth, and we know how to use 'em.

Miss Perdy, you rock!!!  We loved your video (although, my momma is blonde and didn't even see the video when she first saw this post.  You gotta love humans!).  Me and Tosca were dancing to your cool music, and we were hoping that you did a barrel roll into that Tripawd Miss Pegz (my momma says that's not very nice, and that Miss Pegz is a very sweet doggie, but I'm a Monkeydog and all Tripawds are fair game, right?!).

Annihew, we (me and my big [and she really is BIG]) sister are just here, awaiting our orders!!!!  Let's get the Monkey-business started!!!!!!

Psssttt...Clyde here.  Don't tell my mom I'm posting with Holly's account...she would be all "NO!  That's Holly's, not yours!"  As usual, it's all about the tripawd around here.  I mean, I have cancer too, you know!  When Holly went to the park, sometimes people would stop us and tell us how brave and tough she was to hop around on three legs...ummm hello!?!?!  They shot lasers at my face for my cancer!  LASERS!  AT MY FACE!  Everyone knows dogs have an extra leg and it's no biggie to only have 3, but it's not like I have an extra mouth!  Harumph.

 

If Holly had ever gotten Barney, I bet the moneybutts would have been kicked out of the house for his visit.  Holly's favorite stuffy is on a shelf in the closet because mom says we'll tear it to shreds....duh!  That's what you're supposed to do!  Holly just like to snuggle and squeak her stuffies, and mom thought that was sooooo sweet.  Whatevs.

 

Miss Perdy, that was a pawesome video!  That song has been stuck in mom's head for a couple of days now.  Mwahahahaha! clap

 

I'm going to have to look into getting some ears!

MB Clyde......Petco had some on sale for $1.50 a week ago. I think you're really brave getting Lazers pointed at your face. That's like big time MB Brave!
Got to go.... Princess Rizzo is coming!

HARLEY!!!!!   This is Beans and I totally missed your reply....must of been the song on the video of Ms Perdy's video runnin'  through my head.  If you want to be a MonkeyButt, you ARE a MonkeyButt.    You've got four legs and get a wild hair every once in awhile then you are a bonafide MB.   If you ever see a tripawd, you need to sneak up and bowl em over, okay? Not to hurt em or anything, just to send a message that MB's rule.  MonkeyButt Harley....I like the sound of that!!  

 

MB Beans is outta here!
