not fostering houndies anymore

Since the first of the year, i have been asked to help out one of the volunteers with our rescue group a couple of times. Both times it was about foster dogs and then our foster coordinator sent me a nasty email. This latest incident was the straw that broke the camels back. I responded back to her email and said that i would no longer foster for the group but would be happy to help with transports and home visits.
With Dudley having left last night to go to his new forever home, i only have 2 fosters outside that will be moved by march 4. I dont want to be ugly but i dont want to be treated unfairly when i have done nothing wrong but tried to help.
I will continue to help out when i can and will continue to keep a helpful attitude but going out of my way is finished.
I am thankful to bhra for allowing me to adopt 4 basset hounds.

Dudley our lastest foster boy

A couple of weeks ago, we helped to rescue a basset hound named Dudley as we named him. He was red and white and has now been adopted by a wonderful family in Roanoke, Alabama. He is very sweet and loving and loves to play with his new basset brother, Fred. They even get depressed when they are separated.

Beasley has been adopted

Well yesterday morning, i brought Beasley with me to work so his new dad slave could meet me and take him home. He has a sweet couple to live with now and i am very happy for him. I got an email from the mom slave last night and she said that he had already made his way into the hearts of the other two dogs who are one great dane and one greyhound. he is learning the cats too but he mostly ignores cats so no problem there. He even got up on the couch which is highly unusual. I am tickled to death.

Beasley and/or Inspirational emails

Beasley has someone interested in him. They are coming to visit him sunday hopefully. Just have to wait on a home visit to be done and get his hw prevention done before he can leave our home.
Being a christian lady, i like to share inspirational emails with others to hopefully lift them up from being sad or to just help someone smile. It is so sad when someone sends you negative responses to those emails. I personally love Christ for what He has done for me and will continue to do for me and mine and the rest of the world. I do take offense on behalf of my Savior for the negative things said about Him.
None of us are perfect and we all sin daily but we are forgiven for our sins if we only ask forgiveness. It is sad when someone just doesnt understand this. I just need to pray for those that dont know Christ.

update on Beasley, our foster dog

Beasley is doing great so far. He seems very happy and loves being out of his crate and with me and our other dogs. I cant let him play for a while but i think once he is over the heartworm treatment effects, he is going to be a most happy boy and just love living life.
He has no problems with the cats and gets along well with our own dogs.
Right now, i am feeding him dry food mixed with some canned food for taste. He is eating well. He doesnt really need to gain any weight so far.
He doesnt seem to want to get up on the couch and when traveling in the vehicle, he will ride in the floor board even tho i try to get him to get in the seat. He is a perfect gentleman. Jamalucy hounds

Today, i went to the vet to get my foster dog, Beasley. He was treated for heartworms late last week. He seems to be doing ok tonight but i am going to keep my eye on him. His belly seems swollen somewhat. I was concerned about this anyway as it was like this when he came into basset rescue. Beasley is a sweet boy. He is a tri color boy and was already neutered when he came to rescue. After 30 days from the treatment, he can be adopted or at least will be on the website so others can see him. He is a sweet boy. I sure hope all works out for him.
Hubby went to work tonight so i have the whole house to myself. Sure is nice too to not have to cook.
I have to go to work tho tomorrow for the first time since Christmas. I will miss being off like i have lately. God is good and i have a good job.

Jamalucy hounds: December 2005

Today, my husband and i met with another volunteer with basset hound rescue of alabama to get a pair of basset hounds girls to their new forever home. After talking with the other volunteer, i found out that the family was quite happy with their girls and they are going to the grandson's birthday party. What a rewarding day.
Also, for those looking at this blog, anyone wanting to go to a nice honest restuarant in Alabama, check out Bates House of Turkey in Greenville, Alabama. They have nice honest workers in there and they should be honored with our business.
Happy New Year folks. this is new years eve. God has been good to us and we should be thankful.

Jamalucy hounds

Today, i helped with transporting several basset hounds to either their new foster spaces or to their new forever home. It is quite rewarding to see sweet bassets get loving homes even if it just to nice foster homes.
One of the foster hounds we have cared for went to the vet to have his abcess evaluated before he was to travel to his new foster home. It was determined that he needed surgery to have this site debried so it would heal good. It just wasnt healing but was getting worse. When he is well enough to travel, he will go to a very loving foster home in south alabama.
