Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new start for Paul lovers: I have Paul all safely tucked into the chicken coop! I will explain that a bit later. Remember how I used the coop reference this morning? I had no idea it would come true! Paul did not fly the coop, he went into the coop! LOL!
When I got to the pound, Paul was waiting outside for me. He was just besides himself with worry. He was pacing and crying. It was so cute, when he saw me he threw back his head and let out a gigantic howl and that tail was going 50 miles an hour. It was such a special moment.
I was actually talking to the woman who is the director and she told me that when Paul’s owner’s friend called they told her that “Money is no object we are rushing down to get “NO NAME” right now.” That was 7 days ago. I am so glad Paul gets a new start in life!
Here he is in my car. When I opened the door he actually flew threw the air like a puppy into the back. He was making sure I was not leaving him behind this time!
Look how worried he still is. Then, Paul was the perfect gentlehound as he sat in the back seat and looked at the window.
I wonder where I am going?
Oh Paul, if you only knew……….
I met Sarah at the Home Depo and followed her to her glorious 1800s farm on 6 acres of beautiful country side. It is so cool! Check out these original barns. Her and her hubby are rehabing the entire place and it is just spectacular.
Paul could not believe his eyes!
From a stray wandering the depressed and dirty streets of Newport KY to this?
Hello! Can I be an Outlaw?
Sure looks like Paul is proud to be one! This is Sarah. You don’t find them much sweeter. She also does horse rescue.
See that brown and white guy? Her and her husband picked him up from the slaughter house. All of the others are rescues as well.
They have the coolest old barn for the horses and folks, they don’t make barns like that today. Solid as a rock with Burch beams. This is just the back section of the huge horse barn. The stalls are extra large.
So, back to Paul. Here he is meeting Sarah’s 2 bassets which I promptly forgot their names.
This is so cool. This property has an old chicken coop as all farms did and do for the most part. This building is solid as a rock and is about the size of a 10 run kennel. It is really cool. It has so much character and charm. What I love about it, is that is a low structure that fits bassets perfectly. She has really fixed it up so cute.
The three bassets got along fantastically and for the first time I did not see that huge worry wrinkle on Paul’s head!
Hello – do I know you?
Paul fit in like a hand in a glove. Check out the doggie door leading out of the Coop!
Paul was having so much fun exploring. Here is the fenced in area.
Here is a shot from the outside with Paul exploring. It has chicken wire all around the bottom half. Everything was clean as a whistle.
Sarah and her hubby also rescue goats! This guy was my favorite.
Look – he has a lace ear!
Well, it was time to leave Paul in his new Paradise. Like I had mentioned, someone is already interested in Paul from reading my website. Sarah sent them the application today. He is going to go quick because he is a really good hound.
As I pulled out of the ideallic setting I stopped up on the country road and looked back. I could see Paul and the others playing. They were having a good game of, catch me if you can. I did not get a picture but that image will forever be burnt in my brain. (((((((((((Sarah)))))))))))))
It is my absolute pleasure to meet you, your Mom and your darling little daughter. The work you do is of the highest regard. I know we will have many, many stories to share for years to come.
