[Dailydrool] Repawt On Grrrage Sale Basset Rescue of Puget Sound

[Houndy2 at aol.com]

We have a 2 year old Basset Boy who is in severe trouble and since we had a  
Grrrage Sale last weekend we are now spending all we made on him and now we 
are  writing to you on the DD...not for M O N E Y..but for healing drool. We  
sure worked hard but put on the best garage Sale! The Basset Hounds were out  
there greeting all the people being excellent ambassadors for the Breed! It was  
so much fun to see little kids pet the big long droopy ears..sooo soft....and 
to  see the smiles appear on the often tired looking faces coming into the  
Sale....
 
Will you please sling some healing drool for "Jimmy Durante" who was  brought 
up from California along with 47 other dogs that were due to be put to  sleep 
and he got Kennel Cough. THEN he was neutered.
Not a good plan. But we all do the best we can and he could have been dead  
already. We have this chance on saving him.
 
Well anyway what was done was done and now 2 weeks later we have him. Thank  
Goodness that the Rescue that had him was wise enough to know that they were 
in  a little over their heads and they gave him to us. (he was snapping at the  
crawling baby 2 yr. old....because he felt awful and the baby was bugging 
him)  sooooo now we have a 33# 2 year old Basset Boy still reeling from being  
neutered and being in the shelter and from getting a severe sickness like we  
have hardly ever seen.
 
Long storey short is that he is in severe trouble. He is now eating some  and 
drinking some (still liquids sub q) and our Vet is helping him. He is  being  
lifted up & taken outside to pee and he sticks to my husband  like a rotting 
soaked leaf.  His skull pokes out the skin over it...he is  in very sad shape. 
Poor Jimmy. Please will everybody send Jimmy some good  best wishes. He needs 
all the help he can get. We have the money to spend now  from the money we 
made on the grrrage sale...we just need a little luck now and  lots of healing 
drool. What a awesome thing it is to have all of us our little  rescue group 
all pulling together. We hope that he makes it. 
 
The Garage Sale was blazing hot on Sat  which called for the Margarita  
making... but only one short one because we were soooo tired and only 3 of us  went 
out to Bier Pizza! lol then...and..then on Sunday it poured rain and we all  
got soaked and now that it is all done...it is sorta fun and funny. At the 
time  it was a kick in the head though...we had a typhoon of rain and 6 or so 
truck  loads of unsold  wet soggy stuff to haul off to the Goodwill Thrift Store  
and I never saw people work so hard and so fast and so cheerfully in all my  
life. We are awesome and so was..Baxter  who was made to wait in his big  blue 
truck...so he honked the horn so long in the truck in the rain that we all  
just stopped dead in our tracks in the pouring slamming down RAIN  and  LOOKED 
towards the truck...It was so loud and so long...he just laid on that  truck 
horn in the pouring rain and our cardboard boxes got mushy and the bottoms  
fell out! loll You know how you get so tired sometimes that you can hardly MOVE?  
loll...well I sure wish the time of Baxter (the T is for Trouble) laying on 
the  horn hopped up there on the truck steering wheel couldda made biGG MONEY 
if we  had only gotten it on Tape to enter in some silly contest. Ahhh but it 
was  raining too hard to actually SEE Baxter as he sat up there on the  biGG  
steering wheel happily getting every bodies attention. The sound was so  loude 
we could not even tell where it was from it was impossible to SEE in the  
vehicles.....  The day before he  chewed up Casey's I Pod which he  snagged frum 
some high place. Basset Puppies! So angelic to see ...but how  naughty they can 
be! lol Gotta love em. Always interesting anyhow and he just  may hold the 
world record for chewing up GLASSES hidden and stashed "safely" up  in high 
places...he sniffs em out!
 
We survived our Garage Sale and even had some funn but now... now we  have 
enough $$$ to help poor Jimmy Durante so all he needs now is love to  be sent 
his way. At 33# he is just skin and bones ..truly. Just skin and  bones...yet 
his tail still can waggle just some. He intends to wag but he is too  weak. Wish 
him healing will you?
 
Love frum us at Basset Rescue of Puget Sound
