VooDoo arrives at my vet, aka B&B and spa day!

September 2nd, 2010 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and VooDoo Lovers! Our newest homeless resident arrived at my vet today via his chauffeur, Paula Dunlap. Paula drove him all the way from Knoxville. She had himz in the back seat but he would had none of that! Remember, VooDoo was a long haul trucker’s co-pilot so a bit of arranging had to be made.

Paula moved him to the front seat and the drive was smooth sailing all the way north!

VooDoo arrived for his scheduled spa appointment right on time and was whisked away for his extreme makeover!

The folks at my vet office love him and he is already nestled into his bed for the night. I will pick himz up about 8:30am and travel to Sidney, OH where I will meet the wonderful Kathy. She will transport him to his forever Mommy, Corey near Toledo. She lives in Parma, MI!

The good thing about this transport is that VooDoo has traveled his entire life. His Daddy is probably looking down on all of this with a huge grin on his face and pulling that air horn! HONK, HONK! Here comes VooDoo to start a new life.

I will have many pictures tomorrow.

More trucking up 1-75 later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. for those of you who follow my tweets you may have noticed they are not being updated. Twitter has done some changes and it screws up howl they appear on my blog. I normally like to send out some when I am transporting. You can always click MORE UPDATES and see what they are if you want.

Yes, I am a twit!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and breaking news lovers…..

Well, yesterday was a whirl wind of e-mails and coordination regarding a very needy senior boy hound in Knoxville, TN. His is another sad story. His name is VooDoo and the only person who ever loved him was a truck driver that was found passed away at a truck stop, apparently of a heart attack.

VooDoo was left at a distant relative’s home, neglected and basically abandoned. The poor thing not only must be grieving the loss of his loved one but then he is neglected and left to his own devises. His nails are so long he can barely walk. The fleas are eating him alive.

Over the course of about 10 hours yesterday a group of us working as a team on facebook found VooDoo a great new Mom that lives in MI. Her name is Corey.

Marilyn at the HOP was the team leader. She worked her senior magic for VooDoo.

Paula, who lives in Knoxville, where VooDoo is languishing, is driving him up to my vet today where he will get a spa treatment and B&B.

I hope everyone is OK with using our 70.00 to get him a bath, a Capstar, clip his nails so he can walk:(, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination, and food/lodging for the night. I can’t risk putting him in my BHV and infesting it with fleas.

I will pick him up in the morning and drive him to middle OH where a woman named Kathy will take him to Toledo to meet his forever Mommy.

Poor guy has been through so much. It’s the least we can do for a new life. His truckin’ days are over.

This picture was just sent to me from Paula who is now on the road to my vet.

More helping the helpless later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
