Over three years ago a man (henceforth known as doofus) got a puppy.
The puppy was cute and wrinkly and adorable and loved. And then, as puppies tend to do, she grew. And she grew. And she became the bloodhound she was destined to become. Big and stubborn and loveable and slobbery.
And the doofus decided that she needed to live outside in the back yard.
Then over a year ago the doofus decided the hound was lonely. But, rather than bring her back inside to be a member of the family like she was promised, or finding a rescue willing to rehome her.... the doofus got another hound.
UGH
Fast forward to the beginning of January. The hounds were discovered by a couple who knew about a bloodhound rescue. They reached out to the rescue who agreed to take the dogs. Neither were spayed/neutered. Heaven knows the last time they had seen a vet. We were told the only reason there were no puppies was that the female refused to let the male anywhere near her when she was in heat. (fangs - the ultimate birth control)
So now Fergie and Leroy are safe.... Both dogs moved Saturday from a boarding kennel to foster homes. And in no time (we hope) these dogs will have wonderful homes of their own.
Where they will live INSIDE.
As part of the family.
Loved forever.
And we hope the doofus has learned his lesson and never gets another dog (or any other animal).

and yes....you really CAN fit two dogs in a Beetle MOL
We hope the doofus has been neutered, so he doesn't pass on his doofus genes. More's the pity if he already has.
ReplyDeletePurrs to these two sweeties, thank goodness they're safe!
P.S. They make our human think of the movie "Best in Show!" :-)
we can think of several people that we would like to have neutered - and yep, this doofus is on the list MOL
DeleteWe ae so pleased the two dogs are getting moved to foster homes and hope soon they will have wonderful homes and happy lives.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
We hope the doofus is never allowed to get another pet...ever. Thank cod the rescue found Fergie and Leroy and they will have happy homes now.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you just know the doofus is going to get another dog. 'Cause the kids will want one or someone will ask, "where are the dogs?" 'Cause he's a doofus....poor animals.
ReplyDeletehopefully not, but we can't control that. but we know the couple that picked up the dogs gave him a good "talking to" but we doubt that made a dent either.....
DeletePatty Woodland is right. And it's because of idiots like the doofus that rescue-groups are kept busy and overflowing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the story: "Where they will live INSIDE. As part of the family. Loved forever." As it should be.
ReplyDeletePlay bows,

Some pet owners shouldn't :(
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear these two are on their way to a better well-loved life,
What a doofus. We're glad the both of them have been rescued and we hope they'll be adopted soon to be much loved members of the family.
ReplyDeleteThat doofus doesn't deserve to have any pets. EVER.
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy that Fergie and Leroy are on their way to the good life.

We is purring these woofies find their furever homes furry soon. And we don't really like woofies...but we really don't like doofuses! Mom says he should be put outside overnight when it's cold...that might change his mind.
ReplyDeleteSasha, Sami, & Saku
