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.
All writings and photos are the copyright property of Jenny Threet (unless the writer is a guest blogger, in which case it is the property of that guest blogger) and may not be used without permission.

Happy first day of Summer! We hope you have a good one and get lots of cookies!

Posted by LifeOfBun | June 21, 2013, 7:23 AMLove the pics, but the hidden gem is that Farm Bill piece. Good news for the animals - and their supporters. Now, if we can just fix the rest of this broken country.
Posted by bitcodavid | June 21, 2013, 7:27 AMBe nice to your Mom this weekend…packing is stressful…give her lots of snuggles
Posted by Gizmo | June 21, 2013, 8:07 AMI will put some cookies in the cd drive and type in “to Rumpy” - hope you will get them
) I’m glad the bill is declined - I hope we can change some things in the agribusiness here too - it’s time .
Posted by easyweimaraner | June 21, 2013, 8:12 AMOh boy oh boy Rumpy! Do you know about your new home yet? Will you have lotsa room to run and play? Have you started packing your stuff yet??? Very exciting…..
Kitty Hugs, Sam
Posted by onespoiledcat | June 21, 2013, 9:23 AMThere’s a fenced back yard and an enclosed back porch. And there’s a doggie daycare in the town where we will live.
Posted by rumpydog | June 21, 2013, 4:56 PMHowever the vote happened, it’s darn near a miracle! Nice to see Malachi!

Posted by hutchagoodlife | June 21, 2013, 11:10 AMIntense morning looks. Gathering calm before for all that packing.
(and temporarily cheered over that bill’s loss…but don’t trust them at all - so much wrong with that bit of legislature…but for now YEA)
Posted by philosophermouseofthehedge | June 21, 2013, 11:50 AMMaybe there won’t BE a bill.
Posted by rumpydog | June 21, 2013, 3:25 PMexcept on ducks - and birds. Those are ok.
Posted by philosophermouseofthehedge | June 22, 2013, 12:52 PMYou have the best photos!…
I have had Friday 2 days in a row…I still haven’t had Thursday for some reason…
Have a great Weekend…!
Take Care…

Posted by LadyBlueRose's Thoughts Into Words | June 21, 2013, 11:51 AMI am jealous!
Posted by rumpydog | June 21, 2013, 3:24 PMSounds like a busy weekend! Hope the move goes well and that there is happiness in the new accommodations. Finding the right place to live really can take trial and error
Posted by savedbydogs | June 21, 2013, 1:50 PMI think looking pitiful and begging is a great way to spend a day. I do it a lot. Sometimes it works.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Posted by Genevieve Petrillo | June 21, 2013, 3:21 PMI say if if works sometimes, it’s worth a try. Go for it Cupcake!
Posted by rumpydog | June 21, 2013, 3:24 PMI hope Elizabeth will take me out on a photo safari this weekend. Ours is Sunday/Monday ’cause we work at the bookshop on Saturdays.
Stella the Great Newfenees
Posted by canadianbooklady | June 21, 2013, 3:48 PMDid Stella ever decide to be interviewed by me?
Posted by rumpydog | June 21, 2013, 3:51 PMShe did. Things have been crazy busy here and I had to take some time to do some catching up. She’s eager, I just need to sit down with her and type as she dictates, lol.
Posted by canadianbooklady | June 22, 2013, 10:04 PMIf there are cookies at the end, it is always worth the wait!!
Posted by CATachresis | June 21, 2013, 5:25 PMYeah! Defeated HR Bill 1947! Because of Rumpydog I emailed my Rep and expressed my opinion. You made it so easy with the link to the politicians I felt I HAD to be a good citizen and let them know what I think. Thank you so much for making this responsibility so easy.
Posted by Mrs Bushranger | June 21, 2013, 6:40 PMLet’s hope it STAY defeated! woo woo woo!
Posted by rumpydog | June 21, 2013, 6:46 PMOkay guys. The move will benefit all of you, so you all need to pitch in. Jen can’t do it all by herself. The only one who can get a by is DeDe because she can’t stress her bones.
Malachi - since you get up early, you can eat and get started before the rest of them have turned over.
Hissy Fit - if you don’t help you will have no right to complain and have a hissy fit over anything. Do you want that? Can you keep quiet?
Rumpy - you need to work for your cookies. Mom is not rehoming you so you need to help her. She loves you you have to give back.
DeDe - you get a pass on this one. Of course you can be an Armchair General and just supervise. That might drive Rumpy nuts.
Jen, don’t let these guys take advantage of you. You’re too nice a person for that. Good luck.
Posted by BJ Pup | June 21, 2013, 7:52 PMIt sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead of you!
Posted by theislandcats | June 21, 2013, 8:43 PMHooray!!!
Posted by gita4elamats | June 21, 2013, 11:38 PMI see you wore Jen down for those cookies, huh? Bet they were deee-licious too!!
