A Plea for HELP!!

Phred, something has been running in the back of my mind about your "Y" thingy for the pups.

It finally came to me..........

Get yourself a really good sled.........next time it snows........line those guys up on the "Y" thingy - sit on sled and yell!!

MUSH!

OMD! Did someone say Haz-Mat guys!!????;) Show me the way. :D :D

Phred, I'm so glad the package finally arrived. This project was a month in the making it comes from the hearts of all those who participated.

Bless you for all that you do and for who you are. :)

Big {{{hugs}}} to you

slick xoxo

Avon boxes are so sturdy and easy to come by, as my mom works with a lady who's a dealer. We've shipped in 'em before without problems. Shame that it took such a long time, this go around. :(

On a happier note, glad it's being enjoyed by everyone! :D

Boots!!! So nice to see you again - even though I had to go to a dawgie thread to see you. ;) :D Smokie is adorable as usual and looks quite pleased with his new toyz. :D

WHUT wuz ya <thinkin> by runnin off!!???

Ooooh ~ Da BOWZ wanted to "go onna Quick Hunt"!??
An you <LET> him go across da ROAD!????
NO, da "Publik Huntin Groundz" iz NOT fur DAWGGIEZ wiffOUT a Hoomin along!

An jest WHY din'cha <*TALK*> at Dad an <kall fur HELP>???
He drove up an down da road fur TWO HOURS - <Hollerin> yur namez!
He stopped a DUZIN Tymes rite in frunt a where ya wuz <snarled up>...
eben shut da Bus OFF ta <lissin> fur ya!

Ohhhh ... ya thunk he'd be :mad: at'cha!
Well, he'z WAY past "mad"!!

GUD thing *I* finally got sent out ta help...
Aftur Dad kalled da Kopper Disipatch an filed a Missin Dawgz Report;
he dressed up inna goo-loshie feetz, two coatz anna hat,
wiffa 'lektrik lite stick an ME.

Poor Dad wuz *hikin* up da Horse Folkz drive, but *I* wouldint
go dat way... kept <lookin> back atta Howze.
We <searched> da fencez, up by da Horse Howze, an down da Horse drive.

FINally <heard> ya *Whimperin & Whinin*!
(Ya KUDDA made a lil more "rackit"!) :rolleyes:
Dad kept <lookin> on our side a da road (THINKIN ya wuz smart enuff

Well, allua NutRatz inna woodz are gonna be REEL Safe fur a while
now ~ Kuz YOU Two sure aren't gonna be <huntin> fur a while!

Jest *wait* till da Pet Talkurz hear bout DIS Kapur!

/s/ SmokeMutt - da GUD Child!
.

Oh No!!! Bowser and Cinder...you have to stop scaring your dad like that!!! No crossing the street, and no hunting the woods!!!

Glad everyone is home safe.

Cinder, you've got to stop letting that Bowser boy lead you astray! Stay away from those woods - the only thing you two would catch IS a broken limb or something to get stuck on! And then you have to hear dad yellin' and screamin' at you. Not good, not good.

The Ranch definitely needs a fence round it. Maybe Dad could start putting some coins in a coffee can to start saving. You never know when a PTer might want to pitch some in. I'm thinking that with Dad being such a good foster parent, even after Bowser finds his forever home, there may be another time when a stray pup could use the training and attention you kids get at the Ranch. These dark-thirty hunting for loose puppers treks are taking years off Dad's life and I'm thinking his Promises to God list is accruing a bunch of interest.

Smoke, bless your heart for being the Gud Child and helping Dad to locate the lost souls. I'm saying a Thank You, God, prayer myself for the safe return of Bowser and Cins.

roam on their own - un-supervised...
So Dad's gonna be gettin *out & about* >WITH< the Kids a LOT more!

/s/ Phred

Uh, OH! NAWTEE! NAWTEE! DOGGIES!

I'm so glad you are both safe and back home! I hope Phred's blood pressure has returned to normal by now too!

Look's like Phred will get lots of exercise until the "trolley" gets put up.

I'm sending lots of "Thank Yous" to the BOSS upstairs too for keeping you safe!

Nice new collar, Bowsie boy!

(*whispers* Be GOOOODDDD!)

Glad all the presents are being enjoyed. It's great to see all the furkids!

I keep forgetting to tell you:
1. Bowser must have good luck with Johns*... that's Gpa's name!
2. Awhile back, we enlarged/sent Gpa pictures of Bowser (one was the "aligned" picture.. Cin, Smoke, Callie, Bows... can't recall what the other was) and Gpa said to tell you, "THANK YOU" again and he's glad that Bowser's "Livin' a dog's life high on the horse." (Uhh.. can I get that in english, gpa? lol)


*Just had to add, "Johns" is to be taken in the sake of the name... far, far away from the other -more promiscuous- definition!! :eek:
(Sorry, just wanted to clarify...it sounded too weird as it was! :o lol)

Phred,
I'm just wonderin what you're doing up at 2:30 in the morning posting on Pet Talk. :confused: Is it the cat keeping you up or the snoring of three dogs? LOL :D
Candy

Thanks to Dad for posting those pictures. How we love to see the happy campers at the Ranch. Special thanks to Boots the Kat for cooperating just a bit to get those shots. Can't say much more as these past posts have caused the leaky eye syndrome.

Zippy, give GPa our best wishes and tell him how we have learned to love his Bowser from afar.

Methinks he always stays up late like that. There have been times I have been chatting with him on the phone until past 1am!!!

Whew! It's been a long, long time since I checked in on this thread and I'm so happy to read the updates and know that everyone is ok ( :eek: what adventures you have had)! And I'm so happy that your package arrived and everyone loved everything so much!!! :D :D :D

Logan

Aw, great pictures, even of the grumpy Kat!

I think if the bells on Bowzie's collar are to help keep track of him, there needs to be more of them and bigger! Need to hear those suckers ring from a distance so it seems!

:D

Would you believe that I sat here and read this whole entire thread, for the first time, today? It took me like 2 hours.

It was great! Thrill. Suspense. A happy ending about to happen.

And our invisible hero, "Phred". Kind of like "Charlie" on "Charlie's Angles."

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...5/f5075606.jpg
OK, I can see that this needs a little explanashun.....

They are "paw wipers". When the puppers come in with muddy paws, Phred puts one hand in each side and wipes each paw clean. Get it?? ;)

Awww, Slick, you ruined everything:D :D

It was kinda fun watching Cinder try to edduKate Phred.

THANKS, Slick!! ;)

:D
.

You're welcome. Did I menshun that it's machine washable????? There's other "stuff" in there from me but you'll have ta figure it out fur yourselfff. ;) :D

I had been checking in this thread now and then, but only tonight committed to sitting down and reading the WHOLE thing as I came into it a little late, so it's only fair to comment now. What a great story! "Phred" is of course the main hero, and you deserve many thanks over, but many more of you should be proud. I had nothing whatsoever to do with this rescue, but I must say as a fairly new "joinee" that I am even happier now than I was to have joined such a great group of people (on Pet Talk). Kudos to everyone even remotely involved, and especially you "Phred"!

:)
