Hellow Fellow Basset Hound and needing an update on TJ’s move from Stanford to Ashland to catch his ride (for 50 bucks) to NJ lovers! Wow, that was a mouth full indeed!

OK, I just got this e-mail from Kristie, TJ’s foster Mommy:

It starts like this with another group of rescue transport folks:

I have 2 dogs that need to get to Deb Hinkle’s transport this Friday(July 16th) in Ashland. They will be leaving from Stanford, but I also have dogs that are going to Lexington this evening, and towards Louisville, so I can meet someone with them if need be. Thanks! Hillery

Response

Good morning Hillary.

I am Sylvia with the Mercer Humane Society. We did receive your message and your dogs may ride with us tonight if you are able to bring them to Harrodsburg. I will check on the correct time that our driver will be leaving but I am thinking they will need to be here about 5:30.

What are their sizes? Please reply to all when responding and we look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for all you do to help the animals!!!!

Sylvia

Reply from Hillary

Oh, BLESS you!! Thanks so much. I will indeed get them to you in Harrodsburg. When and where? My cell is 606-669-7194. I have a Basset Hound named TJ, about 45lbs., and a Lab mix adolescent named Marty; he is about 25lbs., maybe a bit less.

Reply from Sylvia

The van will leave from Harrodsburg at 5:30 so please have them at our office, 132 North Main Street, by 5:00. The phone # there is 859-734-9500 if there are any problems. They do have the necessary paperwork correct? See you then. Thanks.

TJ’s ride is ALL confirmed…..

His bags are packed and he’s ready to go! He is actually waiting at the door! He will be sad to leave his great and benevolent foster Mommy but he will be making room for another homeless victim at the wonderful Foster Mom Kristie’s home!

Our boy gets to start an entire new life with someone who wants him. His foster Mommy said that she is going to miss him dearly. He was her little glue stick and just loved to be by her side. Thank you foster people.

More about TJ later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wanna see TJ’s run sheet lovers? I don’t know why I cry but I do. I just got this e-mail with TJ’s run sheet and reading it just makes me cry. Look at all of those dogs traveling from KY to the North. It is just so inspiring.

Here is the run sheet and TJ is on it! Woot Woot!!

Transport July 17th . YAHOO….I am ready to roll thanks to all of you !!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help these dogs along. Several passengers so you may need to tether more than crate. The legs are pretty short so hopefully everyone is okay. Please bring leashes for tethering!!!

Please bring water and a dish to offer water at each transfer point. Ice cubes work well in bowls for crated dogs. Leashes are always an added plus as the bigger dogs can be tethered..

Please Don’t forget the paperwork.

Thanks again. Safe travels and talk to you all on Saturday.
By the way thanks for saving all these lives this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are on this email and your dog is not listed then you are picking up in either MD or Mech PA. Thanks and see you all there.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and reviewing the bills lovers! Mostly, no one likes to review the bills but TJ’s bills are very impressive. Around here, I have not been able to find a vet that has this type of pricing. I will make it my mission to find one. I love being able to take the homeless to my vet. I wish he had a rescue price listing but if he is like everyone else, times are not that great for small business. I certainly understand that.

Here is the bill from the vet that offers rescue pricing…

The total is 148.50. You can click the image to look at the detail.

I also paid 50.00 to the woman that is going to transport TJ from Ashland, KY to Mid-Atlantic in Phillipsburg, NJ where Suzanne Fitch of Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue is going to pick him up. Get this! Suzanne already has a home for our boy, that is if you likes cats! The home is superior and is so hoping that TJ likes cats. We are still trying to figure that one out. TJ’s foster Mommy does not have cats. So, she is trying to answer this important question this week.

Here is the Paypal bill I paid from the BHT fund.

The only thing remaining is to get TJ from Stanford, KY to Ashland this Friday.

We had 110.00 in our bassethoundtownrescue.com fund.

We received 78.00 from Mary Tipping to add to the fund. That gave us a grand total of 188.00. TJ’s total bill was 198.00. Grandma and I donated 10.00 to make up the difference!

Then we got this picture from TJ’s Foster Mommy today! It looks like he is saying, “Thanks You Residents! I love my new town!

Himz so tried!

More about TJ later! Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Pictures of TJ lovers! FINALLY, the residents of basset hound town get to view their handsome new resident!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE……

OMG! Look at this face. Himz is so cute!

Totally Tubular!

Gosh, his spotting is so pretty. Himz could be a masterpiece in an art gallery!

Well, I guess you can tell I really enjoyed these pictures of our TJ.

Dear TJ!

More about his transport coming soon….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and TJ lovers! Well, himz has been getting all kind of glowing reviews from his foster Mom Kristie! Himz is sleeping in the bed and bossing all of her dogs around like the true hound he is!

OK, here is our pupdate. TJ has a ride all the way to NJ this coming Friday. The transport leaves from Ashland, KY at about 8:00pm. A woman named Deb does this transport every other Friday night and drives straight through. She stops in Hagerstown, MD; Carlisle, PA; Mechanicburg, PA; and Phillipsburg, NJ. Phillipsburg, NJ is about 10 miles from the delicious and wonderful Suzanne Fitch of Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue, which is where our very own TJ is going! Suzanne is going to be the wonder woman picking himz up! Lucky Herz!

Get this! TJ’s transport only cost us 50.00 dollars! I paypaled Deb a few nights ago and he has his reservation firmly in place! This was in our BHT fund! I will provide details of the account very soon!

Kristie and I are still working on getting himz over to Ashland, KY from Stanford, KY but we are going to do that come hell or high water!

Unfortunately, still no pictures of our newest, soon to be, not homeless resident! DANG!

Kristie has no internet access and lives in a tiny, tiny town called Texas, KY! Bless her heart! Love you Kristie! I am sure we will be chatting on the phone soon. Kristie said that he has the longest body and about 10″ long ears! Jethro, look out! hehehehe

I am pretty sure we have all of TJ bills covered! Go TJ, Go TJ, Go TJ!

More happy dancing later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue Lovers!
Good News Abounds for TJ the HOUND! All of the residents will be jumping for joy!

Suzanne Fitch of Mid-Atlantic has taken TJ into her rescue! We must find a way to get him up to her in NJ and we are working on the transport as I type. I have been working on TJ’s behalf most of the day off and on along with Kristie, the foster Mommy!

TJ had his neuter surgery and is doing great. He is even doing a little bit of singing for the staff! So here is the good news!

TJ is heart worm negative!

TJ is lyme disease negative!

TJ had a negative fecal test!

TJ get’s picked up by his Foster Mommy in the Morning!

TJ found a place at the top notch Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue!

TJ hopes to be on a transport this weekend!

TJ says, “Ahrooooooooooo and Thank You!”

Thank goodness he had all of the residents looking out for himz!

More jumping for joy for TJ (and that money we had) later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. I will have a full accounting of what we spent on TJ very soon!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and TJ Lovers…..

Tomorrow himz is getting snip, sniped! I am having some control issues knowing that he is so far away. I normally have our homeless a lot closer. Normally, I am going back and forth non stop down to my vet. Butt….with TJ, I really don’t know anything.

I guess, I am a bit worried. I know he has good care about 3 hours due south of me. I just want more! I want more.

I guess it will come later…..

We need to start finding this guy a home! I wish I had my normal pictures. You know this is killing me! I know this is killing all of us. I know he is safe but I just am just worried. I normally get to touch and love on our homeless:(

More later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and TJ Lovers! This just in from our homeless hound in the Hollers of KY!

Hang on TJ! BHT is here for you!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” Lovers!

Here we have Mr. Thomas Jefferson, principle author of the Declaration of Independence.

Well, the Mayor, Emma and I had to make an executive decision today to use the money in our bassethoundtownrescue account for a basset hound in Standford, KY that was to be euthanized today.

It all came about very quickly. About 30 e-mails were going back and forth between about 5 people over the past 24 hours. They were calling him Randy but I felt that he should be given a name fitting of his independence on this 4th of July weekend.

Please meet Thomas Jefferson aka TJ. As you can see, he is howling,
“THANK YOU BASSET HOUND TOWN RESIDENTS!”

A gal named Kristie Jones offered to pull him, foster him, and get him vetted at a very affordable vet who offers fantastic pricing. I met Kristie when we were all working with Frankie.

“Cat, TJ is a WONDERFUL choice!!! I will forward you a copy of the vetting services available at cost..TJ BARELY made it out, Cat..”

Now we just need to find him a soft place to land.

This is all happening as I type. I think TJ is with Kristie now but her computer is not working!

I have asked for more pictures and a full report of Mr. Firecracker!

For now we only have these two.

Let the parade in his honor begin…..

More news of TJ later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Hellow Fellow Basset Hound and bassethoundtownrescue.com lovers!

I am adding this header to a new category (street) in our town! This is where I am going house all of the homeless bassets that our residents rescue and their stories.

I am also trying to figure out a tally page. I want to show what we have in our neighborhood basset hound town bank account. I think I might have my website guy link to a page right under the header. I will have to think about howl to do that the best. Every donation will be recorded on that page and howl to donate. Since I am not a 501(c)3 I cannot start a FirstGiving Page but I do have a paypal account.

Do you remember when I said that I wanted to start a fund for the next hound we want to save?

Well – we already have money in our account. As of today (and this will be on the page tally shortly, hopefully tonight.)

WE HAVE!

BJ Porter – 30.00

Donation overage from Frankie 20.00

10% discount off of Frankie’s bill from vet 35.00

Debra Holdcraft-Bach 20.00

Wanda Richlen – 5.00 (20.00 of the 25.00 she sent went to Frankie)

So, there you have it! 110.00! For our next hound! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????

Bassethoundtown residents are the BEST!

More counting money later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
