A Plea for HELP!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

We're **HOME** ~ All Safe & Sound!!

We'll - SUMMA "US" are home...
Cinder & SmokeMutt ARE doing their sleep-ober at Unka Pat's house
up the street with Cali Pup.

I *HAD* an hour's worth of Trip Tails all composed when
*@#$%&@* Windows blew up and it all vanished!

Short & Sweet -

BOWSER is HERE -
All camped out onna lil Ruggy on the front porch,
tucked up in the corner at the front door.
(CHAINED to the front porch for his security!)
It's 58 degrees here overnight;
and he has enuff FURRRRR for 20 BELOW!

He's been makin *Zzzzzz's for almost two hours now;
and hasn't *budged* off the rug nor made a *peep*!

Midnight, da KAT,
took one look at Butch, da Dawg Ketcher's West Virginnie style
Porta Prison and announced to all that She was STAYIN wiff
da Ole Lady at Bowser's old Homestead!

Back to Bowser Boy ~
He NEEDS a *baff*!! REALLY NEEDS a Baff!!

Tomorrow we'll be trying to schedule him into either a
Dawggie Warsh or a Car warsh;
and into da White Coat's place for some overdue *shots*!

THANKS for all the Supporting PURRayers & Good Vibes -
they Helped!!

Pix & Tails tomorrow... da Bus Driver is WAY past Tiurd!

PS:

THANKS for the offers of Munnie -
but Don't you DARE!!

We'll wait till he's all *spiffed* and safely in a New Howze
before we worry about any money!!

Niterz!

Nite Phred, sleep tight!

[Cinder & Smoke]

<toss> <turn> ...


<go check onna New Kid onna Porch>

<peeks out window>

He hasn't *moved*!
Is he - izzy - izzy ... OK???????

<opens door gently>

Sez Bowser!!!!
<Zoooom> goes Bowser off da porch!

Welllll... Yes, he WAS ok...

I "reel" him back up onna porch; he runs off again.

<get BIG Bisquit>
He *ignores it* - won't even *lick* it!

*Finally* stays ON porch... <ponders> Bisquit...

He's spent 10 minutes trying to *cover* it on the concrete porch!

Using his nose as a Shovel ~ <dig> <shove>, <dig> <shove>,
<sweep> right, <sweep> left <dig>, <sweep> ...

OH, I HOPE he's not really <rubbin> his poor nose on the concrete!

I was ready to try taking the Bisquit away from him when
he gave up the *hide-it* routine...
Now if he'll just curl up on the rug...

(Memo)
Just because YOU can't sleep is NO reason to wake up da Poor DAWG!

A quiet "good morning" to what must be two of the east's most tuckered-out souls. I hope everyone was able to get settled in and a peaceful few hours of shut-eye.

From a couple of the tales, it sounds like Bowser's feelings get hurt easily!

The groomin' ladies might "rest easier" knowing that Mom has personally given Bowser baths before... he's fairly easy to bathe.

Phred, the list of names/numbers I told you I'd email you will have to take a backseat until this afternoon or tomorrow morning (right now it's a 65 page mess of uncoherency). In the midst of the Bowser adventure, I completely FORGOT about school starting up on Monday... just checked my school email and, I have homework due tomorrow AM! So, if I can get that out of the way this morning, I'll work on the list this afternoon and get it sent to you ASAP.


{{A million thank you's could never be enough!}}

Good luck at the white coats, Bowser!

Ok, I was just wondering because 2 people have contacted me looking for dogs. One looking for a small to medium dog of any age. And another Person wants to adopt an older dog because they are older and don't want to deal with puppy hood. They said 10 was not to old for them. I told them both I might have dog, but I will go ahead and give them a call back before I head off to school, I can understand not wanting to travel after already going so far.

Good Luck Phred and post pics if you can. Only being able to see one pic of the cutie is torture!

I've just spend the past few minutes reading though this whole thread and right now I'm not ashamed to say that I'm crying like a baby.

I'm happy that Midnight has a furrever home. I'm happy that Phred and Bowser made it home safely and Bowser will finally get the love he deserves. I'm sure he misses Gampa's love very much.

This whole story just reinforces that Pet Talk is more than a community of people who love pets. Phred is a shining example of an angel who drops everything to go out of his way to help out a friend in need and rescue a pet at the same time. "Gawd" has truly blessed us all with your presence here on earth. I wish I could meet you or even talk to you. Hugs to you.

...and {{{HUGS}}} to my Lil Sis Zippy. I miss you so much and can hardly wait for July to roll around.

Gini: I agree.....a good nomination for Thread of the Year 2005.

Now Donna how is David going to feel about this Phred thing. You greedy girl 2 PT men . (clucks teeth shaking head and smiling huge)
I 'm so glad the twosome made it home safe and sound. Too bad maybe one of Ash's people would due and it would be a great Pt adventure.

[shais_mom]

Phred called me as they were walking out of the beauty shop and Bowser had been bathed, weighed, nails clipped, and ears cleaned! Said he wasn't very happy but was quite mellow.
He weighed 30 pounds pre bath. Figgered he might weigh about 29 now!
Most of the stink is off - but if you inhale deeply enough you might still smell a wiff of barnyard, but that could attribute to his old collar.
Has an appointment with Dr. Mike tomorrow at 10 am.
They are on the way to buy a new bed and a new collar.
He is going to take him to Unka Pat's to meet the kidz on neutral ground and they will probably keep them overnite again but Unka Phred is supposed watch Callie this weekend. Might be interesting on the Morris Ranch this weekend!!!

Actually, Deli, this has been on my mind so I think I will do it instead of Karen, I hope that is ok with her.

EDIT
RACHEL beat me too it!!!

Ash, I do thank you for your help. And while "furever home" is the ultimate goal of this mission, in order to reach that goal we've got to determine:

(1) Is he healthy? While he might look ok physically, there's always the potential for illness. IF there is a serious illness, what are the options and what is more humane for Bowser?

(2) How is his attitude? For the most part, he still sounds like the Bowser I knew/remember. But under stressful circumstances and situations, attitudes can change.

Until these two things are "figured out," we don't know what kind of home he'd be best in.


Please don't get me wrong, I HONESTLY appreciate your intentions. But, to be blunt, you haven't given them the full picture of Bowser; certainly this isn't through any fault of your own. I haven't taken the time to write about Bowser as I knew him.


This evening I'll try to post about Bowser's life and temperment prior to moving into E's abode. Perhaps then Phred can chime in and add to what he's seen in Bowser (temperment wise) thus far.

[Logan]

Rachel has already posted a link, Staci! Just an FYI!!

[ramanth]

Way to go Phred!! He sounds darling and his picture (even though older) is so cute.

I'm hoping that his vet check comes out okay and that a home can be found for him.

*HUGS*
