For some reason I cannot post Leonard’s picture so here is the link to his photobucket picture.

LEONARD’S PHOTO BUCKET PICTURE

Ariel was surrendered to Montgomery Co. Animal Control in KY by her owners when they discovered she had heartworms and couldn’t afford the treatment. Baby Leonard was picked up as a stray in Nelson Co., KY, and he’d been marked for euthanization. Thankfully, both are now safe in rescue, but the rescue is currently overcrowded, so Ariel and Leonard are being transferred to another rescue in NJ.

NOTE: Due to a personal family tragedy, the sending rescue in Hopkinsville, KY will be unable to fill the first leg. From Hopkinsvile – Nashville is 70 miles to the SE, Bowling Green is 64 miles west, and Evansville, IN is 82 miles straight north. If you live even remotely close, please, PLEASE consider driving this leg!!

If you’re able to assist with this transport, please do NOT respond to me on-list as I would hate to miss your offer. Please email me directly at pupsavr4life@cox.net (@cox.net) with the following information:

Well we have our dental estimates.

February 11th, 2008 - 11:11 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and clean teeth lovers. My Lord!!!! I cannot believe how expensive it is to have teeth cleaned. Of course, I have had this done in the past, but it was with Chloe and Lily.

To have both kids teeth cleaned will cost me about 700.00 dollars. Does this seem outrageous to you? What do you pay in your area? I guess I better get a third job!

More Later, if I can squeeze it in between jobs. NLOL! Cat, Chaps and Emma

February is National Pet Dental Month!

February 9th, 2008 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Clean Hound tooth lovers! Ever hear the phrase,
“Clean as a hound’s tooth?”

funny_emma.jpg

Well, this is the month to make it come true! February is National Pet Dental Month and it might just be the added push to get your hounds in for a teeth cleaning. I personally dread it because I hate to have Chaps or Emma go under any anesthesia. However, it has to be done. I am taking both kids into the vet today for a nail trim and while we are there we will get our quotes for both dental cleanings.

Most vets are offering discounted cleaning for the month of February. Mine is offering a 15% discount, but I will try to get a better deal since I have two hounds.

My vet is also offering a free dental package with a few goodies in it like a tooth brush, dental cream for hounds, a chew toy and upkeep information.

I will update this blog with the quotes when I get home!

“Clean as a hound’s tooth”! It’s expensive, but necessary. Ahhhhhhhh Fresh Breath!

Howllo fellow hound and D&G lovers! This is just too cute. It reminds me of when Emma was a small pup playing with Chaps. She had no fear! He was just freaked out!

Now they are laying by my side as best friends. I love their relationship! Hey wait a sec, Emma is jumping him…..Gotta go!

Wow, I made a big mistake blocking a friend from YouTube!

February 6th, 2008 - 8:08 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and mistake lovers!

I got a message tonight from a sweet gal that I blocked on YouTube. I have no reason why I did that, but she asked me why!

She also told me she had a video to share with me. I am very touched with her and her video. She states,

This is just a slideshow of Mojo and how he met Pazzy and how my late brother’s plan is working!

Mojo is my late brother Joko’s Basset Hound. He came to us when he was 4 years old. My brother died when he was 5 and he’s turning 6 years on April this year.

Pazzy came to us just a week now and she was just the sweetest thing! She’s 3 years old and also a dual-toned basset hound like Mojo. Her old owner didn’t pay much needed attention to Pazzy that’s why she looks more like a Dachshund in the slideshow. Her old owner had a lotta toy dogs (another breed of dogs) and Pazzy was the only one different. She was exiled to her old owner’s farm far far away. Nobody loved her. That’s why we took her in.

Enjoy the movie!”

Thank you sweet AnGeLiKuS
