I felt so sorry for her because she was reported to be crying non stop. Here is the updated post from the rescue that has her.

Rudy needs a ride (and a puggle named pedal) Gasp!

November 3rd, 2008 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and getting Rudy into his new home lovers! We need to get Rudy and Pedal a Puggle transported to Arlene this Saturday, November the 8th. (I just found out about Pedal tonight…..Arlene had her pulled)

Arlene is of BASSET HOUND RESCUE LEAGUE

The general route is from Cincinnati to Maryland.

Here is the transportation route that we would like to take place this Saturday.

CLICK HERE FOR THE MAP QUEST I DID!

Oh for the love of God, Rudy was a wanderer with no fault of his own, but now we need to wander him over to Arlene who has a good chance of placing him. There is a ton more info on Rudy right below in another blog posting.

Pedal the puggle also has a home via Arlene. Pedal the puggle was dropped off at the same shelter as Rudy, just a pup with spay surgery stitches still in. WTF?

Anyway, there is no time to question the human race. Let’s just try to set them up on one. Do you know anyone that can help transport? I will do the first leg. Just take a look and I will get back to all of the Rudy and now Pedal followers to see what we come up with.

Arlene is paying for both of them to be boarded in Northern KY. The bills are adding up and potential families are waiting.

I hope I know what I am doing this Saturday! It would be great to get them on their way. If you do not live in the area and know someone, I am open for suggestions!

Rudy is my mission and I guess Pedal is now as well. Sigh!

More updates later….Cat, Chaps, Emma, Rudy and Pedal the Puggle – (Arlene named her) Cute huh?

Who needs a fly swatter when…….

Really, who needs a fly swatter

When………….

You have the Mayor on the job!

The Mayor always gets his fly!

Yuck….

Anyone remember Rudy? The Ft. Thomas, KY pound hound?

November 2nd, 2008 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo fellow Hound and Rudy lovers:

HERE IS THE FIRST POST I DID ON RUDY

HERE IS THE SECOND POST I DID ON RUDY – COMPLETE WITH VIDEO

HERE IS THE THIRD POST I DID ON RUDY

Well since those postings, Rudy has been in the pound 3 more times. Every time his family came and got him, much to my chagrin. His family is an insult to hound lovers.
Total Morons. If you took the time to read his story, it was all lies. His family could care less about him. Finally, we get Rudy out of that sick environment!

Rudy became ward of the Campbell County Pound yesterday. A tight group of Rudy lovers has been working to get him out. He was picked up by an all breed rescue yesterday and is being vetting and cared for financially by Arlene of BASSET HOUND RESCUE LEAGUE, INC

I will be working on a transport that will head north this upcoming weekend. We will go through OH and PN. Will you please check back and see if you can help? I will have the route up very soon. Arlene already has a few folks interested in our Rudy. Hang on Rudy, we are looking for a real family for you. I cannot think of a more deserving hound!

More Rudy updates later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

The Latest Saga……

November 1st, 2008 - 3:03 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and not loving Saga lovers: My goodness gracious. If it’s not one saga, it’s another. About a month ago I decided to take Chaps off of his Canidae Lamb and Rice dog food. I had heard that the new formula was changed and not for the better. I noticed that Chaps’s had runny eyes and something else kind of soft, if you know what I mean. So, I switched to Merrick about a month ago. Now I think he is allergic to the chicken formula I picked. His hair is falling out in small clumps and he has a lot of dander. I do not recall him ever blowing a fall coat this aggressively, if at all. He also has developed an ear infection.

Remember, Emma is severely allergic to chicken. I had no idea if Chaps would be or not because he had always been on a lamb based food. It was pretty stupid of me to try him on chicken, what was I thinking? Emma and Chaps are both of the same BoBac line and it holds to reason that he might be allergic to chicken as well.

I sure hope it is just his food. Changing food is easy. Of course, I am worried. My boy’s coat is looking a bit worse for the wear.

Now for a closer look – notice all of the tuffs sticking out? It is like this on both sides.

So I ran out today and picked him up a bag of Natural Balance Lamb and Rice Allergy Formula. I am going to take the rest of the Merrick to the pound this week. I have a few things for them.

Well, he just ate his new meal and seemed to like it better. Keep your paws crossed. The Mayor doesn’t have many sick days left at the office.

More about every detail of the Mayor later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Poor Chaps. He was a bit scared!

October 31st, 2008 - 10:10 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and it’s Howl-o-ween lovers. I had Julian over tonight for begging and I happened to capture this picture. Our Chaps got a bit frightened of his best friend. Julian did NOT try to scare him. He was just changing and came out to the living room.

Our Chaps is so delicate. He hates stuff like this so I asked Julian to go back to the bed room and then I put Chaps into the sunroom with Emma. Chaps was fine with that. He is such a soft soul. Of course, Emma could not see any of this so she was trying to comfort him.

It all turned out great. Grandma sat with the kids while Julian handed out candy to the goblins! He had a great time.

Chaps and Emma survived. Can you imagine? The love of your life, AKA Julian, comes out looking like that?

All was well very soon after the costume came off. Chaps was back to normal and laying in the big dog bed with Julian.

More tricks later………Cat, Chaps and Emma

You have a few more hours to……….

October 31st, 2008 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and buying raffle ticket lovers! Some of my readers may remember that I am helping Susan Randolph with her fundraiser for House of Puddles. It ends tomorrow! It is an art show! Here is the link to the art show that I am featuring on my website in the HOP boutique section!

ART SHOW

The esteemed (or is that ahroooed?) Barkwork Randolph Gallery is proud to debut the “Senior Droolers Are Cooler” art exhibition, benefiting House of Puddles (HOP). This extraordinary event represents the first-ever public showing of so many pup pawtraits in one location. For years, these up-and-coming canine artists have displayed their masterworks only in small, elite galleries (the home fridge) for the enjoyment of the richest and most powerful collectors (their moms and dads). Now they join forces to honor and aid HOP, dedicated to helping senior hounds who ask only for a warm bed and loving lap where they can enjoy their golden years.

Of course, as an Aunt, I am partial to my Julian’s rendition of Rudolph! I can brag can’t I?

That is one of the perks of having a website and a blog! PAWSOME INDEED!

I have to tell you guys that this is my pencil set from 1963. I still had it in my basement. Can you believe it? Can you say, “pack rat”?

How could you not want this master piece hanging on your wall? Good luck dear readers, good luck!

More master pieces later………Cat, Chaps and Emma

Mommy, when do we start begging?

October 31st, 2008 - 12:12 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Begging Lovers: Well, we are full swing into decorating. I had to try these on the kids. I have the devil horns and the angel halo. The angel halo bit the dust last year, so devil horns it is. I was able to get a few pictures before they figured out what I was doing. LOL

Mommy, when do we start begging?

Sweet Emma could never be a devil!

Neither could Chaps, but boy do they look cute!

OK, my boy took it for a few seconds. What a good boy!

Happy Howl-o-ween!

More later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
