Happy Burpday to Ed!

A little over a year ago our friend Theo's Ape texted our ma ape a photo.



This dog was at the SPCA after being found wandering and no one came to claim him. One of the kennel staff thought she'd keep him but she didn't. And so he was alone and afraid at the shelter so our ma ape brought him home just for the weekend so he could not have to be in the big bad sheltered while he waited to get neutered and adopted. IT HAS BEEN A LONG WEEKEND! We made this for the little monster for his burpday.



If we are JUST getting to the terrible twos? Oh lord. Send help please.

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:

Happy Pawlidays!




ETHEL JEAN with your PAWLIDAY REPORT! We have not posted our pawliday greetings (or sent our pawliday cards which will be New Year's cards due to Ma ape laziness!). We want to wish everyone a great pawliday no matter what pawliday you celebrate! Here's what we have been up to.

The ape made DOG COOKIES! Oh yes. There were Ethel and Oscar shapes, Edgrr shapes, and even a CORGADOR COOKIE! (We will post photos of that separately). But, alas, no Otis cookies. Our ma ape will now search for an Otis cookie cutter on the internets. These are BACON AND PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!

And then OSCAR BEAN decided to carry on a very special Christmas tradition started by Wally involving a trip here:

Oh yes, that's the vet! And the totally FUN tradition is veterinary EMERGENCY requiring a visit the vet, eating up the last of the ape's moo-lah for the pawliday season! Assorted Wally-mergencies included heart troubles, back troubles, and eating a whole sample pack of Rimadyl troubles.

Troubles, yeah Oscar's got 'em! Hey, better HIM than ME!


Ma ape saw him scratcherating himself and found someone had poked a hole in OBST!

We have no idea how that might have happened.* At any rate, he got some anti-Bs in case some Edgrr bacterias might have gotten into him. Way to go, OBST!

SOME of us (that's me in the back) have been bending over backwards showing Santa how NICE we are. Here I am sharing the snuggle ball with the OtP even though he has gas! And it WORKED!

Look! Santa brought us beef butts! (P.S. Ma ape--PUT AWAY the ROLLING PIN!)

And he left us a BAG of TOYS which we have barely cracked!

Here the DUMB boys are trying out the monkey wubba. We will regale you with more tails of Santa prezzies once we are done digesting all our beefs and cookies.

HAPPY PAWLIDAYS!!!!!


*Edgrr would like to note that while there are many incriminating photos of him hanging off his brudder's side there is no definitive evidence against him. Innocent until proven guilty. FREE EDGRR.

Bad Santa!

No nice, only naughty for this Santa! Edgrr was shivering this morning so the ma ape got him a sweater. What happened next was documented in horrifying detail by the Other Ape with the Fancy Camera. Do not let your children see this. It is worse than finding out that Santa isn't real.

He looks sweet and innocent.

But he sees you when you're sleeping.

He knows when you're awake.

He knows if you've been bad.

Or badder.


And he will eat you like a steak.

Floofy Friday!


This post is dedicated to the Khween of the Floof Khyra!

Check out MY floof!
In 360! Just like Anderson Pooper!

Who says Pembrokes can't rock the tail?


I must be part Husky, right Khyra!

And did you happen to see who the Huskers are playing in the Holiday Bowl? The Huskies! Again!

Snow Bunnies!

Otis here! We had our first snow today! Here's how it unfolded.

Even I saw fit to do a little cardio to warm up.

Edgrrrrrrr worked on his pirate impressions.


Arrrrrrr.

Oscar and I played with perspective.

I danced a wee Irish jig.


Oscar, uh....
And Edgrrr gave him some stink eye.

Now let's have some warm cocoa and s'mores!

ZOMBEEEZ.

See those empty stares? We just finished watching the The Walking Dead, a show about zombies.

And we thought--how fun! Let's play zombie! For some of us, playing a slow moving flesh-eating beastie comes naturally.

But then someone took it too far. Not now Edgrr! Wait until the meaty box is empty! Brrrrrrrrraaaaaaains!

The End of an Era!

Lil' Red is warming up his vocal cords.

And I am licking my chops in anticipation.



Yes, the day has FINALLY arrived. The LAST Nebraska/Oklahoma game is tonight! And as an older fellow I am quite fond of HISTORY and OU/NU is an historical rivalry!




But this game also has a great deal of pawsonal meaning for me as my best brindle gal, Mayzie, is on the wrong side on this one!


We are Montagues and Capulets! Torn apart by our loyalty to our Red Families!


And to think, Mayzie, you are siding with the Boomer Sooners instead of this depawaire gentleman in his best Husker prep wear! Well, after tonight the Big 12 will be no more and we can go back to be bestie brindle buds. But tonight GO BIG RED!!!!!

And now some happy memories from the past:





Go Huskers! Do it for Wally!

*Ma ape says I must apologize for using so many exclamation points because I am not Friedrich Nietzsche. But I am just! so! excited! I haven't snored this loud in ages!

The Last Annual Buffalo Hunt!


We are ready for some FOOTBALL. Today is a most exciting day as the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be hunting (Colorado) Buffalo one last time! Since our teams are both going to different con-fur-ences next year there will be no more Ralphie snacking. Ah well! We are most nervous for this game since if the Huskers win they will go to their con-fur-ence chompionship! If they lose...let's not talk about it!

We are also nervous because the Cornhuskers lost last week after getting 40 gajillion penalties called on them (many of them questionable) and this is what our coach turned into. Scary, huh? BO SMASH!

So we are getting ready by playing a little footie in our backyard. Ethel is the only one who ever gets the ball but the rest of us run around aimlessly and occasionally fall down. Like real football!

And we are practicing our wrap-up tackles! (Throw a flag on OBST! Illegal use of girth!)

Otis is on the lookout for shady referees! (He's undercover in his ref-ing stripes!)

And Edgrr might have been doing a little too much pre-gaming.*

We wrote a song for the occasion of Nebraska's last regular season game as a member of the Big 12!

To be sung to the tune of Home on the Range

Oh yes give us a home
Where no Buffalo roam
Where some Badgers and Buckeyes do play
Where there seldom are heard Tigers or Jayhawk birds
And the sun never shines on Longhorns

Home home is Big Ten!
Where the Huskers and Hawkeyes will play!
Where there seldom are heard Booming Sooners Boo Hoos
And the sun never shines on Longhorns!

*No corgis were intoxicated in the making of this post.

The Story of the First Thanksgiving

This is the first thanksgiving. Our first thanksgiving without Wally, who was a big fan of the pawliday. (Read about it here). And our first thanksgiving with two newcomers in a new land, Otis and Edgrr. We thought we would share with you the story of The First Thanksgiving.

Oscar and Ethel had lived in the New World for a long time (like decades in dog years!) and they welcomed newcomers, even these new arrivals with their strange was and most unusual colors. But these newcomers were ALWAYS hungry and needed many foodables to sustain themselves. And so a feast was prepared to welcome them to their new world!

Quails! With pumpkins, green beans, and sweet potatoes, the bounty representative of our native foodables, grown (bought) in the native soil (Trader Joe's).



And a bounty for all the dogs! Even the lil' ones who had a hard time with their birds.

Now let's give some thanks!

Ethel gives thanks for tennis balls, girls nights out, meatables, for being a girl, and for closets to hide from her brudders.


OBST gives thanks for being a perpetual teen queen, for brudders who let him put them in his mouths, for foodables of all sorts, for ma apes to cling to, and for patient apes.


Otis gives thanks for snuggle balls, foodables of all sorts, for wallymelons, for the SPCA, for naps, for giant heads and the apes who cannot resist them.


Edgrr gives thanks for toetoes to bite, for granNEs who love corgis, for brudders to annoy, for all kinds of foodables, and a yard to do zoomies in.

Happy thanksgiving! Don't forget to give your shout outs!
