Monkeybutt Bunny Vampire Pirate and I made this sexy video to tease all you tripawd gurls since you always want to kiss us. This will drive you wild!  Enjoy! Hahahahaha! (If it doesn't drive you wild it should at least make you smile and laughter is the best medicine) laughing

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.

Abby says she is going to have to stab her eyes out now. She's not so sure she wants to kiss you anymore...

I, on the other hand, thought it was hysterical. I love MBBVP's face. So serious. Must have really been concentrating on the steps...
Thank you for the laughs!

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!

Well, Shelby was on the couch with me when the video started. Her ears perked up, she let out a blood curdling howl and ran and hid in the bedroom.

It will most likely take months if not years of counseling and hard work to overcome the effects of what was on the screen. I'm talking about me.

I'm sure, with time, Shelby will overcome this. Hopefully the TRIPAWD pawty next weekend will help.

Wow, I think I am going to have to call in sick to work tomorrow. 

How can I focus on my really super serious and important job with.....THAT  running through my head?  I guess I will call in with the 24 hour Polynesian flu.

I'm with Karen. I think I will not sleep well. At least they kept their nuts on.

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.

Oh my dog!  Those two must have been on the phone with each other conspiring this video while we all were together last week!   We really can't leave them alone with today's technology!  

Her Retired AvatarComet - 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.

Samson!  You were right!  (Sorry, I wasn't on board with this and my face showed it!  Next time, I'll smile.)  Your master plan worked! 

Operation Gross Out!

 

You are a genius Super Pal!  Paw Bump!

 

I can't wait until you move here (paws crossed you do)!!!  We'll have so much fun!

oh wow

Levi was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma 7-7-11
Ampuversary 10-14-11
Lung Mets Discovered 1-4-12. Chemo seemed to not be working so we switched to Artemisinin and other supplements. In May, Levi developed a sinus infection and started having seizures. The cancer had moved to his brain. We let him go 6-26-12.

I'm glad I watched this at work, as my pups are way too young to be exposed to such nonsense.

LOL...

Laughter is definitely a good medicine. Although her mother was laughing, I don't think Lylee benefited from this one as I can still hear her snoring.

(Don't let her know I told you that Tripawd Warrior Princesses snore – okay?)

I'm not quite sure what to say about that.  The belly button squeezies were just wrong.  Zeus says his hips don't wobble that much and he only has three legs - maybe be Monkeybutts need some balance exercises.  wink

Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11.  A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

Gross and funny all at the same time.

 

Jerry - My mom was laughing until the belly button part too - she hates belly buttons and people sticking their finger in them.

Hey Chauffeur - do you think we can get a group rate on those counseling sessions??
