Hi! My name is Rumpy, and I am an Alaskan Malamute. I used to live in Middle Tennessee, but now my family and I reside in the Florida Panhandle of the US. I have this cool blog that I started in 2011. Here at rumpydog.com we talk about all things animal, with a focus on animal welfare and responsible animal companion guardianship. But we also like to throw in a heaping helping of cute! cute! cute! I mean, how could you look at me and not melt, right?
My story? Well, I was found on the side of a busy street. Jenny thought she would help me find my home, but nobody claimed me. So now I live with her. She's a pretty good ole' gal, but she is mighty stingy with the dog cookies. *sigh*
Also living here is DeDe- an older lady of unknown origins that was living at the trash dump. DeDe has many health concerns, yet you'd never know it by looking at her. She's the happiest dog in the whole world!
There are also some cats- they each have their own story. June Buggie is their chief spokesperson. He is 16 years old, crotchety, and not afraid to say what's on his mind.

How cool that you love watching TV, Hissy Fit Jones!!! and very good to learn about science!!! We animals should be intelligent, too!
Posted by eripankevinw | April 4, 2012, 1:49 AMI dunno Kevin. I don’t want him practicing what he learns on ME!
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 5:34 AMI am pleased to hear that Hissy Fit Jones is undergoing a self improvement program. Keep it up Hissy! Perhaps Discovery Channels are next - they blow lots of things up and make cool things
Posted by Bassas Blog | April 4, 2012, 2:56 AMOh no! I am NOT gonna let him do THAT!
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 5:35 AMI loved her so much… Thank you dear Rumpy, it was a nice post again. Love and Hugs, nia
Posted by niasunset | April 4, 2012, 3:05 AMOh Dog! You like Hissy Fit Jones????????
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 5:36 AMIt’s so nice to see that Hissy Fit Jones is watching and learning!
Posted by Bassetmomma | April 4, 2012, 4:40 AMyeah, but what is he gonna DO with all that information?
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 5:41 AMYou do realise he’s getting ready to take over the world.
Posted by Flo | April 4, 2012, 5:17 AMIf he starts hanging with June Buggie, we’re all DOOMED!
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 5:45 AMHi, my name is Buddy and I am an office dog in the UK. I agree with you Flo, knowledge is the key to success (and pets world domination). Unfortunately I don’t have the agility of Hissy Fit Jones (cool name) and would have no chance of standing by the TV to get a close up view. Sigh…
Posted by officedogblog | April 4, 2012, 5:31 AMHey! Whose side are you on??????
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 6:42 AMCame to leave a comment ages ago, but got diverted and now have forgotten what I was going to say! *sigh*
Pee Ess love the name Hissy Fit Jones
Posted by CATachresis | April 4, 2012, 6:28 AMTrust me, the name fits!
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 6:42 AMThat’s one smart kitty.
Blessings,
Goose
Posted by Goose | April 4, 2012, 7:55 AMYeah, and that’s just what we DON’T need around here, another smart cat! *sigh*
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 3:22 PMI can’t believe your kitty likes TV! I’ve never had any of my pets watch it before. ‘Lil Hiss must be very, very smart!
Posted by Mel | April 4, 2012, 8:39 AMWell, I dunno about that……. *looks to make sure Hiss didn’t read that*
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 3:23 PMBeen missing your posts!
Posted by PC PHOTO | April 4, 2012, 11:10 AMIt’s good to see you again!
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 3:23 PMNice…Hissy Sweety, could you stay a little further from the TV. You might ruin your little precious kitty eyes.
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Posted by haopee | April 4, 2012, 12:17 PMYeah, well there’s no telling Lil’ Hiss what to do. Jen has tried….. *sigh*
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 3:24 PMOMG - love it! My roomate’s cat Scratchy loved Jeopardy and Scooby Doo - programmed the TV to come on throughout the day and Scratchy was glued to it! Have a Great Day:)
Posted by cravesadventure | April 4, 2012, 1:28 PMHow cool! Jen should try to play the show online to see if he likes it on the computer.
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 3:24 PMBeing knowledgeable is very important, but however, a new study finds watching more than four hours per day can be dangerous.
The risk of heart attack and stroke is higher by 113 percent. The risk of death by any cause is nearly 50 percent compared to those who spend less than two hours daily in front of a television set.

Posted by Sweet William The Scot | April 4, 2012, 4:43 PM*rolls eyes* are you ridiculous?
Posted by rumpydog | April 4, 2012, 7:42 PMMy cats enjoy watching the television too! They even pay attention to the commercials.
Posted by Russell Smith | April 4, 2012, 5:26 PMI have nominated you for 5 awards, check my blog to see what to do Here is the link: http://autumn-sunshine.net/blogs/?p=1289&preview=true&preview_id=1289&preview_nonce=a0d9b951fc
Posted by Autumn Sunshine | April 4, 2012, 6:41 PMI’m in trouble now. Henry was reading the post and wants to know how come I’ve been limiting his TV time!
Posted by Sue | April 4, 2012, 7:40 PMVery cool that you love tv, and even better that its educational. No wonder why you are such a clever kitty

Posted by Urban Hounds | April 4, 2012, 7:50 PMMe has never ever seen that show! Living in Canada has drawbacks…

Posted by catfromhell | April 4, 2012, 8:01 PMMy humans don’t have a television. They think it will spoil me. Will you tell them how educational it is? Sigh.
Posted by BunkThePug | April 4, 2012, 10:16 PMHey Hissy Fit, Jet here.
I will have to check the Scooby Doo Academy course selection to see if NSF sponsored tv program reviews are acceptable for my modern culture class!
Posted by heyitsjethere | April 5, 2012, 7:00 AMHi! Thanks for the nice comment about me on The Poupounette! # always says I am a total sweetheart and I absolutely adore my woofie, Tommy. In fact, all us kitties adore Tommy!
Purrs,
Bibi-Chan
Posted by The Poupounette Gang | April 5, 2012, 9:50 AMAww, looks just like my Skyler. He’s a TV watcher as well.
Cheers to you!
Posted by Alison | April 5, 2012, 10:08 AMThat sure looks like a good program. Hissy Fit is a great name. By the way, thanks for the update on the cat situation in Florida. I need to go check it out. I just feel terrible for those poor cats. Wish they could all come here but I don;t have anywhere to put them.
Posted by ande123 | April 5, 2012, 12:22 PMRumpy, For some reason I have not been getting told you have a new post up. So I have unfollowed then followed again in hopes that I will be notified by WP when you post. I missed seeing you and the rest of the gang!
Posted by Patricia | April 5, 2012, 4:59 PMHow wonderful to have show that one’s pets can enjoy! Hooray for NSF!
Posted by granbee | April 5, 2012, 5:00 PMAfter all that science stuff rolling around in his brain, when do we get to see Hissy Fit Jones blowing up stuff in the lab?
