Yep! That's right Tripawds! Today (and Tomorrow), it's a all about me, Rocket Monkeybutt-Bunny Vampire Pirate Vavra! I was adopted on this day, 8-2-09! I came to my new home the next day!
I have finally succeeded at being the "only dog" ! And now all of the attention of mommy's and daddy's is all mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! (See Cosmo, I told you they loved me more!)
Well, it didn't start off that way. Little did I know that when I got here in my new home, that the "girls" ruled! Daddy and I were sort of like outcast. It was all about Comet, my new mean tripawd sister! And mommy only paid attention to her! And to make matters worse, my new mommy moped around because she said I wasn't like her Rugby who had just died suddenly. …..Hey Mom! I'm not a Shephard! I'm Monkeybutt!….
I still don't know what all the hub-bub was over Comet! All mommy did was fuss over her! It was like a pink polka-dotted episode of the "Twilight Zone"! She was mean! And no matter how big her pink polka dot bows got, she was still MEAN!!! And mommy thought she was an angel! An ANGEL!??? [start Twilight Zone music] ♫ Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do ♫
Okay, I admit – it was very sad when she died suddenly 6 months ago. I loved her even though she was MEAN because ……..I'm nice that way!
BUT BACK TO ME…Now it's all about ME! ME! ME! ME! And mommy and daddy are going to celebrate ME! (Sorry mommy but I'm all you got now!)
And for those that never saw how mean Comet was to me – this video I made last year during her 12th birthday proves it!

Happy Adoption day, You are certainly are one lucky and very loved dog!
How is that lil Cosmo pup doing in his new home? We miss him too!
I love me some Elvis, Your mom has great taste!!!!
And of course Comet as pretty in pink as can be and you may just have deserved a lil of that.... but we don't want to bring you down on such an up day!
Happy Adoption day Monkey Butt Vavra! I know you will make your mom have some suitable celebration - especially now that there isn't a tripawd at your house to take away your thunder!
Duke will have a treat in your honor, but he must first demonstrate he has learned his new 'leave it' command. I still make him work for the good stuff. NILF (for the four leggers)!

Happy Adoption Day Rocket (aka Monkeybutt)
You're a very lucky pup to have such caring folks and it's obvious that they love you very very much.
Happy Adoption Day!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummm.....just wondering.....who gave you the new turd on your adoption day?....swell gift!
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.
Do you have what it takes to be a Monkeybutt? Find out more at the Monkeybutt Federation
Congratulations Monkeybutt!
I must say, you are a good looking dawg. I bet the babes at the dog park love you as much as they love me! I kind of understand your story, because when they first brought me home from the pound, there was only one mean cat here. Now there are four.....(but only one of them is really mean)

Dear Rocket,
Happy Adoption Day Anniversary. I am very happy you have a nice home. I am very happy you are an only dog now. I am very happy you are getting all the attention now. I am very sorry Comet was mean to you. I am very happy you are having a celebration.
Isabelle
BLAH,BLAH,BLAH……I promised to say nice things….I don't really care if it's your adoptionversary…are you soooo envious of ampuversaries you had to make up your own day???? HMMMMMMM I have an adoptionversary too (9/17), I'll expect you to remember it AND my Ampuversary (8/24). Send gifts!
I am sorry you got snipped on adoption day…I might have overlooked your FREAKY EARS and skinny neck if you weren't "altered" …..and you ridicule a missing leg…You can't put that pep back in your step!
Speaking of your skinny neck…do you have 30 collars yet????? Or any friends to come to your party?????….maybe they're busy getting ready to come to MINE again!!!! BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Dear Rocket,
Ignore Isabelle, just like I do!
In celebration of your Adoptionversary I promise to bother Isabelle until she growls, then I'll smack her muzzle!!! She gets very mad, but I am quick!!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Your Friend,
Denali
You goof, don't know girls ALWAYS rule? Well, after Tripawds, that is.
Hoppy Adoptaversary you crazy kid, I don't know what we'd do without you! Thank you for always making us laugh around here! And remember, we're laughing WITH you, not AT you! 😉

charon & gayle
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
Thank you Samson, Duke, Denali, Brett, Rene and Charon!
Bud and Sparky, you are making me nervous….why are you being so nice? We are at war!
Cool Monkeydogs vs. Stoopid Tripawds
I did get a newturd on adoption day but I got a super great tatoo out of the deal! Mommy thought it was a "Z" for the longest time and I couldn't really see it to know so the vet told her, it's an "N". But I wanna make it a "M" and add a "B" sometime! Bwahahahahaaa!
Ickybell and Pooper Cooper -
3 LEGS = Mean!
Go ahead and say mean things to me.
BUT I am rubber you are glue and whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to YOU!
Bwahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhaha!
Oohhhhhh…….you're sooooooooo clever…….Cooper and I are so NOT sorry! BTW, why were YOU annoying Comet in the video?
Isabelle
PS: I heard the N is for "nutless"
Mom says I have to say happy adoption day. Are you also celebrating getting "tutored" today? What do you do to celebrate that??? Have cake with no nuts? Buwhahahahahaha. No nuts!!! Get it? (Ouch! That smarts!)
I am glad your mom made that video. Now I get why you can jump so high. You had to get out of Comet's way quick! If you want to keep up your jumping workouts, I bet Cooper and Isabelle would love to come to your house with me and we can make you jump! Dance, little Rocketman, dance!
I will say this for you, you are one lucky dog. You got a good home. And your mom really knows how to airbrush those photos to make you look cute.

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.
