All of this for only 6.00 plus 50 cents to cover paypal fees if you choose to pay via this method.
As of right now, we have sold 4 bracelets. Chaps’ graciously donated his time for his Super Modeling.
Male Models of his caliber do not get out of bed for under 10,000 dollars a day! 🙂

Howllo Fellow hound and foster family lovers:
Andrea and Carl are foster parents for Suncoast basset hound rescue in FL. They are also members of Chaps and Emma’s Fanny Club. Those are their dogs on the home page today, 7-13-07. That picture just makes me smile. Dudley is the basset and Abby is the Golden.
I thought her e-mail was so cute and touching that I had to share. She said, “of course”! She originally e-mailed me checking on Gus at the HOP
Here is her e-mail.
What a relief that he is doing well. It is inconceivable what people will do. Can you imagine being dumped in your old age and you are sick and confused and alone?
My crew is doing very good. Abby and Duchess the foster got baths today but Dudley got out of it by burrowing into the sofa and pretending he didn’t see me rounding everyone up for bath time. He was so cute so I just went along with it and let him think he was invisible. He’ll get his bath tomorrow along with Molly.
Dudley, hiding in plain site!
Duchess the foster is going to meet some potential people on Sunday. The husband works with my husband and we are pretty sure it will work out. Her picture is on the SBR website.
Fostering is much more emotional for me than I expected. I am pretty attached to animals and I knew it would be hard but this is more heart wrenching than I thought it would be. But, I am trying to remember that she was dumped at the pound and rescued and is now going to live with a nice family. There are 2 little girls. One is 10 yrs old and already bought her a bed so Duchess will be sleeping in her room. (that’s what they think Miss Duchess will be sleeping in the bed I know this from experience).
Thanks for keeping such a wonderful website.
Andrea
No! Thank you Andrea and Carl for all you do on the front lines. I could never be a foster parent, because I am to weak emotionally. I know where I can be of the biggest help and I don’t venture from it! Keep up the fantastic work!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Gus Lovers: The Gus on my home page is not this same Gus. The Gus on my home page has a wonderful family and is a very benevolent hound. He is actually donating money to the House of Puddle’s Gus who now has a new wonderful Mom named Marilyn.
Here is a portion of the original posting for the HOP Gus, aka my new boyfriend.

Howllo fellow hound lovers: Can you imagine an old basset guy getting dropped off in front of a PetSmart, skinny and sick?
They said someone just dropped him off in front of the store and drove off. He wandered in on his own and they fixed him a bed and called the humane society.
He is now at the House of Puddles. Thank Dog he found his way to the House of Puddles.
7-12-07: Photo credit goes to Melynda, Lucien and Lilly’s Mom and volunteer, HOP!
Gus was diagnosed with heartworm and is currently on medications. He was so tired at first and could barely wag his tail.
Gus is being monitored by Marilyn the founder of the HOP and CEBR. (chief executive belly rubber)!
Gus is feeling a bit better and is now roaming around.
He was still not eating as much as Marilyn would like, until a few days ago! Look at the sight that Marilyn saw!
Good boy Gus! Look, he even saved a snack for later, according to Marilyn! Click the picture and look at his ear!
Well, things are looking up for my boyfriend and I am sending him cyber slobber. He seems to be fitting right in.
That’s Gus on the far left. He looks like he will fit in just fine. I love you Gus, and all of the Hoppers!
You can donate to the HOP via this link! If not now, book mark it for the holiday season and give in the name of a loved one.
