Yep. There's a new Monkeybutt Bunny in town. She is actually way too sweet, I think, to be a real monkeybutt. But she can be a monkeybunny.
We didn't intend to have another dog so soon - but these little ones worm their way in. And we couldn't let someone else get her when she looked so much like a combo of both our beloved angels.
Thank you for sending her to us, Bailey & Abby.
Jackie, Angel Abby and Monkeybunny Rita's mom
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!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! She is gorgeous.
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...

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.

This was definitely meant to be! Congratulations, you're right, she is sweet.

I don't think we pick them, somehow the stars align and they pick us. So when you are picked you just have to go with it. I'm happy for you guys.
Welcome to the family Bunny Rita new dog girl!
Karen and the pugapalooza
Awwwwwwww she is so beautiful, that cute little face will certainly help your hearts to heal, when destiny calls you can't hide away and I'm sure your two angels certainly helped her find her way to you both
Congratulations
Sarah and Kayla
Oh she is precious!! Congratulations! Can't wait to hear about the new adventures!
Mary, Lucy's mom
Lucy's front right leg was amputated 12/19/11. Thankfully there was no tumor, but her nerves were found to be degenerative. Life as a tripawd is Lucy's new adventure!!
I already posted on your blog, but just wanted to add my congratulations here too! We can't wait to meet her at a FI playdate!!!
She is adorable! I'm sure that she was sent you by Bailey and Abby. I think our doggies always take care of us, even after they leave this earth. It's their way of saying "thank you"....
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.

I am so glad for you - she is beautiful!

Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.
