[Dailydrool] Lanyards to put school ID Badges on and New Brother

[Terry]

Ok It's Miss Ellie Mae Basset checking in.  Our boy Lucas, the grandkid started middle school and got a thingy with his name and picture on it in case he forgets who he is.  The Mom person has looked everywhere in our little town for a Lanyard (a thingy to go around the neck) to attach the ID Badge to and can't find one.  One of the Bestest Basset Ladies in the world suggested we ask the Daily Drool to see if the rescues sell anything like that.  I think you better let us know soon because the kids in 5th grade and they charge $5. every time he loses that darn thing.  I being a wise and beautiful well rounded woman don't have a problem with losing things but then we all know how boys are.  Please email us off list if you can help.
    My Mom person and the boy Lucas came home in July with a new guy.  His name was Oliver and boy was he a mess.  Mom said he was a rescue from a back yard breeder who was using him for Stud service.  Made me really happy I was spayed.  YUK!  He was so dirty that Mom wouldn't let him in the house.  He wouldn't get out of the car.  Mom carried him to the back yard.  He was scared to death of my little brother Asher. (Miniature Schnauzer)  Mom gave him a bath.  She said it was his first one ever.  He will be 2 in December.  His ears are both lacey looking on the ends where other dogs had chewed on them.  He had a hole in his neck where a tick had been pulled off, the bite had started to heal and a dog had bitten the place open.  He had more fleas than Mom had ever seen and his ears were a 1/4 of inch caked in dirt.  Mom left the back door open and he finally was coaxed into the house.  Ollie, as we call him, had never been in a house before.  Mom kept telling us he was a foster and we would find him a forever home as soon as he learned some social skills and was more secure.  The first trip to the Vet proved he had ear mites, was Heartworm Neg, and got all his shots.  Ollie had never been to the Vet before.  The second trip to the Vet showed his ear mites were completely gone and he got his booster shot.  The discussion of getting Ollie neutered came up but the my Mom said the Lady Vet did a check of that area and got really, really mad.  She told Mom someone had put a rubber band down there and that it wouldn't be necessary to neuter Ollie.  Mom had just asked the Vet why Ollie wasn't marking things like other young males his age do.  Mom was so upset at this news and so was Dad.  Guess what Ollie is no longer a Foster.  Seems Ollie isn't going anywhere.  He's staying right here where we know for sure that he's not being mistreated and that he's getting lots of love.  He is a fast learner I have to admit he keeps my ears very clean and fusses over me.  He treats me very well.  I tell you that Ollie is very strange but that is a whole different email.  That is what happens when your Mom brings home stray kids that she knows nothing about.  She did say something to Dad about it serving the stupid backyard breeders right since they were wondering why they were not getting any puppies out of their females after paying all that money for them.   She said if they are that stupid they are just another reason backyard breeders shouldn't be allowed.
