Back to Blog Sad News

Our ape screwed up again.  She vowed to blog more often because a) we only blogged when sad things happened and b) we are awesome and c) obvis the world is craving more US. But she did not.  And then she could not bring herself to help us blog our really sad news.  So I (Ed) am going to help her stop up and do her job because we need to share our news--and we have good and bad news--and get back in the bloggy game!

The very, very sad news is that just before the new year we lost our heart and soul, Mr. Otis T. Potus.   He started feeling a bit poorly in mid-December and we learned he had prostate cancer (ma ape wants to blog about that later because she would like to share all the info she learned).  He got very poorly quickly and we had to say goodbye. Look at these handsome devils together!

I was especially sad because he was my best friend and I enjoyed accommodating his many requests for regular humpty dances.

Much to his delight!

 I wanted to share with you what a very special guy he was.

OtP came to live with the sheppys in March of 2010 after their buddy Wally died.  You can read about his arrival here!  He had been a long-timer at the SPCA as a part of a cruelty investigation and had been there for almost 6 months when he was adopted in January of 2010 but then he was brought back on a day ma ape happened to stop by the SPCA and the rest is history! Here he is on his first day home when the sheppys were concerned ma ape had come home with a particularly stinky boar!



He was an older chap who had lived a harrrrd life but he didn't hold a grudge.  He never met a stranger, human or doggy, especially his FAVORITE brudder.

He was a busy dog with many hobbies that included gardening (eating hostas), being a gourmand (nomming everything, especially wallymelon), power nappping (snores not optional), and was an inveterate fashionista, singlehandedly redeeming the sweatervest from Rick Santorum (see above). And he was the best ambassadog for pitties he could possibly be.

He was a dog for the ages and we can't believe he wasn't even with us for 3 years.  It seemed like he was always here and it is hard to believe he is gone. We miss our favorite time together, relaxing coffee with milks on Sunday mornings.

We stopped blogging because we couldn't bear to say goodbye to our Otis but one of the best things about blogging is being able to have a record of our memories and share them with others.  And it is not fair of us to not share our magnificent selves with the Internets!  Otis would want us to carry on, just like he always did.  So vests on, tongues out, we have more blogging to do!

And more news.  Last month we lost our bestie Sophie. She was one of our first bloggy friends AND our only friend we met in real life!  We wanted to remember her and Otis together when he was a PERFECT GENTLEMAN.  *cough* Can you EVEN imagine such rude humping?  We like to think of you guys chillaxing with Mr. Wally.

Goodnight, sweet Otis and Sophie.  

And next time we will have some happy news for you.  Preview:

DERP! Stay tuned...

Morning Zoo with the Otie & Ed Show

You might not realize it but Edgrr and Otis are pretty close pals. We call it the Otie and Ed Show! Every morning Ed helps Otie with his physical and mentals stimulations by playing stationary shark face (with optional humping). This is what it looks like close up:

Woooooing Ladies, Brudder Style

So this kind Ike fellow has given me some advice that if I want a girlfriend I should probably stop making out with my brudder/wingman.

And stop gazing lovingly into one another's eyes.

And whispering sweet nothings into his ear.

And nuzzling him softly.

So here is our less tender side. We call it the pig in a blanket roll!

Arr arr arr!

Get the momentum going...

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

What do you think of us NOW, ladies?

BROMANCE! (By ETHEL!)

The new dude has been hoggin' my bloggin'! BUT IT IS ETHEL'S TURN! I am now going to tell you tales of GOSSIP AND SCANDAL!

You all know my NEW BRUDDER Oscar. This is how I like him best. Pinned to the GROUND. With my MOUTH around his NECK.


And here I am CHILLAXIN'! with WALLY!

And here's Wally LAFFIN' at my JOKES! (OK, he's laughing at his own joke):

But lately I think they've been watching too much MTV (WHICH MEANS LIKE ANY AT ALL!) and now they're totally having a BROMANCE!

And they like hang out together on the couch.

And Wally LAFFS at his JOKES. OK, he's really laffin at his OWN JOKES again.
