New Brudder?

Heyyyyy.  Happier news guys!  Look!  We got a new brudder!  This is Mr. Alistair P. Sloppysocks! He is an English Cocker Spaniel.

He is also a prize winning ballroom dancer!

And a master sharkface-ateer!

But then...ma ape lost him! Did Oscar swallow him? Did Ed have one too many humpings? Did he trip over his socks and fall into a hole?  NO!  He got ADOPTERATED!  Yes, our ma ape was a SUCCESSFUL FOSTER APE! There's a first time foster non-fail in everyone, even our ape. We loved Alistair. He was a goofus and OBST liked the shark face and Ed...learned what it is to be humped. But ma ape found him a home in MASTERCHEWSITS near Dexter the WonderLab, Nordude the Frogster, and Tula Monstah!  (Thanks to Free to Be! for helping us to find a forever home!)

Before he left we made him a movie! Party cocker in the hoooooouse tonight! (Yes, that's Otis in there) Congrats Mr. Sloppysocks!  He found a great home with a great person who loves him so much. That's livin!  But then....who is this?

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:

4th of Poo-ly!

Happy 4th of July everyone!  It is EDGRR B POOPACABRA'S first fourth of Poo-ly!  We hope everyone is safe from those loud firecracky thingies that drive us batty.  Wally HATED him some firecrackers but we're not so bothered by them. It helps that we are from one of six states that bans 'em (except in sanctioned displays).  Hooray!  What we DO like is BBQ, baby!  And this year our ma ape went and got a GRILL!  I had to show her how to do it right because corgis always know exactly how to do things and we are not shy about telling you.

To do grillings you have to get some charcoals.  I approve!

Fire that sucker up!

Keep a respectful distance from the heats.

 And be careful lest smoke gets in your eye.

Otis likes to show off his patriotism.  Ahem.

As a Philthydelphian (or Philthydelphia adjacent) I like to show off my BRUDDERLY LOVE.

Um, sometimes I get carried way.

Otis helped direct the photo shoots.  We also got some of those shish-ka-boobs!  We love those raw zukes and peppers.  It will make some EPIC gas laters!

Our ma ape needed a lot of supervision.

In fact all of us boys did a good job doing what boys do best--BOSSING and SUPERVISING and MAKING MORE MONEYS.

Ethel kept a respectful distance.

 Even when the tuna steak was on the grill.

Our ape ate corns and barbecued seitan!

And red white and blue puddin with fruits.

We nommed on very patriotic wallymelon.

We pledge allegiance to the melon!  (No photos of me as Land Shark does not give you any time for photos even if you're lucky enough to walk away with your fingers.)

All in all we had a great 4th of poo-ly!  Lounging, eating, posting for photos, being AWESOME.

A Tale of Two Brudders

Ordinarily I love my brudder very very much but today we are MORTAL ENEMIES!

Fighting for SUPREMACY!



Why? Because there is a little footie match going on today. A storied rivalry!!


And I am a shepherd!


A GERMAN shepherd!



And Otis is separated at birth from ENGLAND star Wayne Rooney (who is much more attractive as a dog.)



WHO WILL WIN THE BIG GAME???

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?

Q&A Continued

Q (from Ike): Who is your girlfriend?

A (from Otis): Line up ladies! As you can see, I've been practicing with my brudder.

Tongue-tied Tuesday

Uh, I think our ape accidentally brought home a boar.

Now Accepting Applications

We are a bit lonely at TWO and as you can see above two bee-yoo-ti-ful and well behaved siblings and we have decided to begin the Search for a New Sibling. Here are our respective ads:

Ethel:

Wanted: New brudder to beat up old annoying brudder. Must be a boy who STAYS AWAY from MY tennis ball stuff. Should enjoy long walks, raw meaties and chasing squirrels. Not always good w/small dogs, beagles, other bitches. Would like you to wear out Annoying Teen resident in house without you yourself being annoying to me.

OBST:

Wanted: New brudder or sister to antagonize old sissy. Should love to RUN RUN RUN and tolerate me goosing him/her and constantly putting him/her in my mouth. Must love raw meaties, zoomies in the backyard and letting me have all the awesome toys and the snuggle ball. No mama's boys! I want to be the only one! Should be prepared for emergency rassling matches at any time.

If you think you or a friend fits these criteria please submit your full CV in the comments. We would very much like to cheer up our ma ape with a new boy but he must not be cuter than us. She is especially fond of big heads and short legs. In other words, dogs who look like her.

HAHA! BRUDDERLY LUV!

FINALLY! The BOYS are BUSY mooning over our COMPANY BEING GONE so finally we can get EHTEL IN THE HOUSE to give you what for. I'd like to share with you some images. My BRUDDERS are taking the whole PHILADELPHIA city of BRUDDERLY LOVE thing TOO SERIOUSLY!

They snuggle under the table:

On the sofa:

On the NEW RUG with their BUTTS TOUCHING!

No such thing from ME! Nothin' but TUFFIE LOVE:

Including my special levitating shepherd move!

Um, this PhoTO was supposed to have been REDACTED!

ETHEL JEAN is no SAPPY QUEEN!
