Howllo Fellow Bassenger lovers: 5:21 pm KY time

I just got word that only 4 legs remain of the 22 legs. This will happen. I will update the run below so everyone can see it. Please look to see what is remaining and if you know anyone in these areas that can help. The runs are really short.

Hello Fellow Hound and Tanya Kittrell Lovers: Many of you have seen this cross posting over the last week but it cannot be re-posted enough. This is a run sheet for the cordination of 6 of the 24 Ozark Mountain Basset Rescue Mill Hounds that need rides to two different rescue groups.

Folks, I spent several hours yesterday reading and trying to understand how Tanya does this. She is a saint. This is a massive blog posting, but please take the time to see the work involved to help these six hounds get to a better place.
