... What a week.. last saturday night 11:15 the basset/doxie mix pups arrived with Molly the basset.. I drove home the hour and fifteen minutes but soon realized getting in the house was going to be a joke.. the gang here would howl blue murder as soon as they heard the van.. So I just drove by and as luck would have it.. they heard me.. as its dead quiet around here at night.. So off I drove to Tim Horton's for a coffee and decide plan B.. now by this time its after 1:00am.. So all the dogs were fast asleep on the myriad of blankets I brought to make them comfy .. Sooooooooooo I put my seat back.. put a blanket over me and shut my eyes.. I woke a few times.. but at last it was light around 5:30.. Yup back into Timmy's.. got a coffee and bagel .. headed to the house.. took everyone inside after putting my gang out for their morning constitutional haha.. and just sat.. segregated the pups and Molly.. let my gang back in... gave them all a treat.. and I curled up on the futon. At around nine I had to go meet a potential adopter at SPAWS.. for 10:00.. she was there and loved Bea.. took her home. I was beat but knew I had loads to do this day..
So then all this week I've been driving and driving.. the mixes went to Ontario.. Connecticut and one locally.. Molly the basset that came as well has her forever home in a senior residence in Sherbrooke Quebec.. so daily I was off to somewhere.. Then Harley was adopted and he went to an area of Quebec called Gore.. another long drive on friday.. Last night I got a call about a basset that was loose up in Terrebonne area.. So off I went today to get her.. OMGoodness what a stinker.. I don't know how long she was on the lamb .. so I took her to be groomed she is there now.. This is a cleaned up her.. Ruby
Tuesday I'm off to Saint Hilaire area to pick up a seven year old boy.. Yup a crazy week for sure and in that mix Charlotte was in to get spayed.. one of my cockatiels died .. 22 years old.. so now her mate is alone.. I'll bury her tomorrow before I head out again..
So there you have it.. I should be called the juggler.. LOL
... I have a few extra t-shirts from the Saint Patrick's Parade Waddle..
If you'd like one contact me..
.. I don't know anything about her except she was slated to die because she is older.. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
.. Yes its going to be a bit wacky this coming weekend.. I have the doxie mixes coming in at goodness knows what time with the transports.. Also I've been told there is another basset gal in trouble could I take her too on this run.. so thats a wait and see as I don't know if she is vetted or what.. The dogs all need Certificates of Health and Rabies ... The borders can get backed up.. transfer time can back up.. weather can be a factor.. However when all is said and done and I know my little charges are here and fine I'll rest easier..
Then its a case of delivering some to Ottawa.. some locally and one to Connecticut.. Yes my van does take a beating these days its a 93 and I can't tell you the number of miles I've put on it.. Alas I bought a lottery ticket.. who knows someone has to win..
I'll post pictures of this gang when I get them.. In the meantime keep us in your prayers..
... Well 25 basseteers and their droolers showed up.. it was great seeing the bassets all free in the dog run before heading to the walking paths.. What a group here are a few of us resting during the walk..

... This is like a catch 22 for me.. several folks ask or say to me.. if there is anything I can do to help let me know.. I don't know anyone's talents besides my own.. Lets face it the toughest thing for ANY rescue is funding.. I am basically a one woman show with my fosters.. I have heard several great ideas to raise funds for vetting .. plus plus plus.. Fundraising can be anything people need or service.. If a hairdresser could do hair for a day for bassets.. or someone organize a bake sale.. garage sale.. bowling for bassets.. Casino night for bassets.. something - a - thon.. or is crafty can make bassety things.. or an artist can do paintings to auction off.. If you just think about it you'll think of some way.. I know folks are always being hit up for money.. but I have yet to ever walk by some Charity anywhere without making a donation.. I guess I am such a believer of " Pay It Forward " attitude.. for I oft feel blessed in life..
... Well this guy is a rescue I brought up from IL. he was in a kill shelter and I just couldn't stand it.. I vetted this boy and he needs his Forever Home.. He is a little more that a year.. so still lots of energy.. so probably needs a home with another young dog to play with.. He is very sweet.. If you'd like anymore info or to foster this guy let me know..
Handsome boy
Him and 3 other rescues are coming to the Spring Walk tomorrow at Terra Cotta Dog Park in Pointe Claire.. 12:30
